I have both an RS4 and a 911 (996 C4S), and I think you would definitely appreciate the extra creature comforts in the RS4. The 997 is not that different to the 996, which first came about in 1998, so I think even an early B8 would give a big improvement in NVH and cabin quality. I really like the c...

I may be wrong but with a £250 excess you have to pay that for each claim and they may claim each shock absorber individualy That is what they've told me, yes. My warranty is up for renewal at the end of this month. I assume I would not get away with changing to a no excess policy and then claiming...

Personally, I would be very annoyed if an Audi dealership came up with the items you describe that required replacing for an MOT, only for them to subsequently pass the car without doing the work on finding you had an extended warranty. Is it an Audi extended warranty? Have you got their initial fa...

Hey All, Having just had the 40k mile service completed at Audi Stockport, inc. all diff oil changes etc, they highlighted that the front shocks were 'excessively' leaking and the rears should also be replaced as they may have run dry. When I pushed them, and mentioned I had an extended warranty, th...

Sorry to hear that. I did see a sepang blue car with RS04 as the first four digits at the weekend, but it was up north in a small town called Disley close to the High Peak.

No opinions on finding a solution, sorry but why do you think it corroded? Hi Rusty, The leg of the diode is no longer there - just a rusty stump. Water damage was evident on the module casing, with corroded screws and the board had areas of water damage below a cetrain height. It looks like water ...

I looked at an M2 before buying the B8 RS4. Like you, I wanted the extra space and needed to try out an NA V8... whilst they still exist.

Enjoy

Hi Guys, My reverse camera module went kaput due to water damage. It is located in the rear offside wheel well. Long story short, the main diode had corroded through, I had a new one fitted and the problem still persists. Essentially the parking icon can be selected but it just emits one long beep a...

Sorry guys, I put this in the wrong section. Should be in the B8. Please delete.

So buying an Approved Used Audi doesn't guarantee a full service history, I'll have to remember that. In contrast I've just bought a 7 month old Golf GTi Clubsport and the dealer serviced it 5 months early so I didn't have to get it done for another year, I didn't even ask for it to be done. Pretty...

Thanks everyone. I've now asked for my deposit back. They were hardly apologetic and the general service with the way they reacted to my concerns was frankly terrible. My wife has been totally put off Audi's and we're now looking at buying a brand new Golf R Estate :( Just to let people know, the ca...

Great, thanks for the info Sam. Just to update, the dealership has been in touch with the previous owner and they are convinced that it did have a service at around 15,000 miles at Audi. But, as with others on here, it isn't showing on the digital service log. This was Friday, and they still have no...

Thanks guys. I think I will leave this one alone and get my deposit back. Does anyone have a link to a copy of the official Service Schedule for the Audi B8 RS4? As I thought the DSG oil needed to be changed at 40k mile intervals, this is correct for my GOLF GTI anyway? Or is the 20k service just fo...

Thanks again guys. I have seen the car and went for an extensive test drive and everything was fine prior to putting my deposit down. The dealership was closing so the deal was a little rushed, hence why I didn't get chance to go through the service record there and then. I don't think the car has a...

Many thanks for the responses guys. I'm unsure on how to go about finding out if had been serviced in the interim, as the guy trading it would not have told Audi as it would then not have FASH. I also left £1k deposit, so if I were to bail how do I get my deposit back? The Audi salesman is adament t...
