Re: RS4 Collected - Help Needed

Tyres are fine for mot - it's 1.6mm depth of the whole tread not including the wear markers. However, you should have got an advisory if the overall tread is down to 3mm which should be pretty much on the wear marks. Driving a car on 1.6mm tread in the wet is v-scary. The difference from 3mm is dow...

Re: RS4 Collected - Help Needed

You didnt come away with four 3mm worn P Zero tyres by any chance but the alloys are MINT did you? I bought the Daytona one the week before off them and i'm sure the wheels are different!! I'm not joking :roll: They had a bit of paint done and it was crap and i'm being kind. I really wanted the car...

Re: Fuel Economy

You're running quite low temp- wise. I've never seen temps that low following an extended drive; I'm normally up in the late 90's EDIT: Or was it cooling down by then? Interesting you say about Temps, whats the usual oil temp you guys are seeing?? Just wondering as being new mine seems to go from a...

Re: RS4 Collected - Help Needed

I've used this seller before (for side badges) and they're definitely original He's got rear badges for sale, and £17.50 sounds reasonable to me... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-RS4-Rear-Badge-quattro-A4-S4-Avant-Sport-Cabrio-S-/370616521425?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item564a7752d1...

Re: De-badge or not to de-badge

Nothing wrong with a bit of friendly banter i always say :) Well correct me if i am wrong but B7's never had LED's so no LED option for a B7 will ever look factory. No they didn't, I believe you were referring to new cars in general: "Most new cars" !! (not the B7), hence my reply. Yes your correct,...
