Re: Help with DRC please

Guys I have been a hearing a slight knock and feeling a slight bump when starting the car when cold. And today I got a suspension fault light on the dash. So, I am headed to the dealer. Now, I am under warranty and given I have the fault light, please tell me I am covered? I have a grand total of 15...

Re: New rotors after 14,000 km

Thanks guys. My plan is to wait for the pad indicator to light up, then get an Indy to install Akebono or Hawk pads and let them tell me about the state of the rotors (discs).

New rotors after 14,000 km

Guys - looking for some opinions. Brought my 2014 RS4 in for service here in Sydney. It is still under warranty. Car runs perfectly though I noted some break squeaking which I pointed out to the service rep. I figured the from pads may need replacing (a bit early but still).The car has 14,000km on i...

Re: No anti-theft bolt key?

Thanks you guys are legends. I feel pretty stupid. Although, Audi could do a lot better job of explaining it in the manual!

Re: No anti-theft bolt key?

Thanks Riv. I am not sure exactly where you mean. But I cannot find the bolt or the tyre lever anywhere or any place where it looks like it should have been.

Re: No anti-theft bolt key?

Ok thanks. But, did you guys get them with your cars? Because in my car it seems as though it was never intended to be there. I guess because there is no spare...

No anti-theft bolt key?

Went to my local mechanic today to have some spacers fitted. When we went to retrieve the antitheft bolt from the boot, we discovered it is not there. No tire iron either. There is only a jack, and the compressor and goo for plugging leaks. I guess I am going to have to go to the dealer and purchase...

Re: Audi Connect - Google maps

Audi's outdated, low res, crummy UI nav and informatics are a daily source of disappointment to me. The tiny screen is on par with the screen in my E46 M3 (2003!) and completely outclassed by my wifes 5 years old X5. I paid for the Audi connect service, but I don't know why. The VGA screen and the c...

Re: Spacers question

Guys, OP here. Can someone tell me the bore size for our wheels? I am about to order 4x12mm spacers plus bolts from ECS in the US. I want to be sure I get the right size. Had assumed the RS5 wheels would have identical bolt pattern and bore size but want to be sure. Tks.

Re: Spacers question

One more question: with 10mm spacers, do I need new bolts or are the OEM bolts long enough? tks

Spacers question

Hey guys - question. And, yes I searched before posting... The consensus on spacers here seems to be 10mm all round. I am curious as to whether there is a rubbing issues with going any bigger? I know the RS5 guys are at 15mm front and 10mm rear. (I guess they're asymmetric since their rears poke out...

Re: Milltek, H&R Springs and Spacers on!

Looks fantastic mate. How is the ride with the H&R's? What spacer are you using?
