DTE PedalBox RS4 B8 (3712)

I sold my RS4 a while back now and had this in a cupboard. Original box included, excellent condition. It was only on the car for about 1 month before I traded it in. Made a HUGE difference to the somewhat dead throttle pedal. I don't have the little carrier the box sits in, but sticky back Velcro i...

Re: Is it normal to get clonking from steering when manoeuvring?

Not heard this yet, but I'll keep an 'eye' out for it.

Interestingly, I was talking to a friend who has a E63S 4-matic thing and there is a known issue with driveshafts knocking on lock! Mercedes put it down to a characteristic of the car. Appalling if you ask me!

FYI: Air Suspension Compressor Failure + Aylesbury Audi

So I was driving to work yesterday and "Air Suspension Fault" suddenly appeared on the dash. Fortunately, I was passing Aylesbury Audi and popped in for them to read codes. Car sitting at the correct height, no apparent air leaks from any corner. It turns out my air compressor has failed, or rather ...

Hi (again!)

Traded in my 2014 RS4 for a 2014 RS6 a couple of weeks ago, and so far very much enjoying the change! Very different cars. As posted in the RS4 forum, happy to meet up with local members (I'm in South Bucks). I've also got VCDS in case anyone needs their codes reading etc. I still can't get over the...

Re: Hi!

So after 9 months ownership, I had a moment of impulse and traded the RS4 in for an RS6!

Very different cars, the 6 is on a completely different playing field when it comes to part & full throttle acceleration... But the noise of the RS4, I do miss that!

Re: Hi!

Thanks so much for doing that! Yours seems to behave pretty much how I'd expect and what I remember mine to be like. There is a slight rise in RPMs on yours yours, between 9-10s, but it's very small. I took a video of mine (which you've already seen): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hci4aeF_5mU It l...

Re: Hi!

When hot and up to temp. When cold, I normally let the car idle for a few mins before driving. *edit* Sam: thanks for trying it out, very easy, just drive at normal speeds, let it get into 6th say at 40-50mph, and then just let it come to a stop without touching the accelerator, as if you were appro...

Re: Hi!

Well, this rev flaring thing I have is bothering me to the point that I just popped into see Audi :) On a test-drive, the service manager (nice guy!) seemed to think there was an issue, but that a recalibration + resynch + software update should cure it. It's booked in tomorrow morning to have it do...

Re: Hi!

> Also used it to retrofit things, service functions - retract electronic parking brake for rear pad swap

Forgot that - did that a couple of months ago when doing my rear discs + pads!

Ambient lighting sounds cool... might look into that!
