Re: Towing Hook
Ok now I'm confused. My tow hook was supplied as a genuine part by the dealer and I had to wait a few weeks for a special wiring loom to come from Germany so the electrics on the trailer would work correctly and not interfer with the on board electrics in my RS4. I have managed to take the attached ...

Re: Towing Hook
Sounds like BS to me. Mine is the genuine Audi part, it was sold as part of the new vehicle package and was fitted by the main dealer. Guess they'd don't want your $, or want an excuse for you to trade the B8 on the C7?

Re: Towing Hook
Yes it can be removed but not easy as the rear diffuser blocks the access to the pin that needs to be removed.

Re: Towing Hook
Yes that was me, I have a toe bar/hook fitted to my B8 RS4. I ordered it with the car as It was a case of no tow bar, no RS4. It took a few months to get sorted back in 2013 as the electrical loom was not available yet and the dealer told me that this was the first B8 RS4 that Audi had fitted with a...

Re: Pirelli P Zeros developing cracks
Noyjatat, car is completely standard MY13 B8 RS4, I purchased it new and have not made any suspension adjustments. The tyre shop are trying to tell me that the tyres have been under inflated but my local Audi agent has advised that the type pressure monitoring system will alert when a change of 2psi...

Re: Front Tyre Wear
The best way I can describe the diff roll as Graeme put it is to say that it feels like the front diff is binding a little and the outside front wheel is being scuffed/pushed as the diff is unable to allow it to move at its natural speed.

Re: Front Tyre Wear
I do live in earthquake ravaged Christchurch, NZ and our roads really are bad but I have been VERY careful (bordering on obsessive of you ask my wife) not to hit potholes etc and curbs. Also, I have just rotated the wheels and this has made no difference so I don't think this is the problem, also th...

Re: Front Tyre Wear
I don't think that I have been cornering too hard, but I guess that may be open for debate. I can howeve feel the left front tyre scrubbing during u-turns and tight right handers so felt that was probably when the wear occurs. Does anyone get the same vibration etc on tight turns? If it's a fact of ...

Front Tyre Wear
Hi All, I have just swapped (oem p zeros) tyres and wheels front to rear and vice verca after 9k miles to try and even out the tyre wear as the fronts had more wear than the rears on my 2013 B8 RS4. While doing this I noted that the front passengers tyre was noticeably more worn than the drivers fro...
