Apple CarPlay Upgrade
Hi all, I am thinking of upgrading the current SatNav/MMI in my RS4 B8 so as to be able to get an Apple Carplay type experience (touch-screen/Siri rather than using with the media button and then settings to change track etc). Has anyone got any experience of doing this and can advise on a good prod...

Re: RS4 B9 or RS6 C7 Performance
Hi Shane, thanks for your observations.
I'm based in south-west London and I frequently see an Ascari blue '6 near Clapham Junction and it really does have a presence on the road (even if the B9 RS4 does have a somewhat fresher design...)

Re: RS4 B9 or RS6 C7 Performance
Thanks Scotty; how do you find Misano Red on the '6? I guess it attracts a fair amount of attention.

Re: RS4 B9 or RS6 C7 Performance
Thanks Iain for your thoughts and the offer; if I was around South Wales I would definitely like to try the PE, however I'm based in London... I did try an RS5 B9 (in lieu of an RS4 B9) which was very quick off the mark, although I really struggle with the gigantic screen on top of the dash - it rea...

RS4 B9 or RS6 C7 Performance
Hi everyone I'm trying to weigh up the relative merits of an used RS4 B9 vs an RS6 C7 Performance, in relation to these metrics/factors: - Driving from the UK to Germany and Switzerland (with luggage for a small [three person] family), - General motorway driving in the UK (London to Devon), - Genera...

Those after market matt wraps that are designed to look like matt daytona grey, for example, look pretty good.

Exclusive and Matt Colours
Hi everyone Is there a way of knowing how many C7s are in which exclusive and matt colours? I am planning to be in the market for a C7 PE during 2020 and am wondering whether I should be waiting for certain excluive and matt colours (for example, merlin purple, ipanema brown, matt daytona grey) to c...

Re: Car keeps dying on me! Shuts off :(
Hi, I also had this problem last winter; certainly worrying when the car ground to a halt at a junction. Thankfully after 10secs or so, I was able to refire it up. It was diagnosed to a fuel pressure sensor failure. The fault should be logged on the ECU, so your AD will know where to look. Around 4....

Re: B8 RS4 replacement windscreen
Hi everyone, I had my windscreen replaced by Autoglass and I accepted a generic version assuming all would be well. I discovered that the new windscreen was letting more light in and thus had less tint than the OEM screen. I took this up with Autoglass. During an inspection by them, I discovered the...

Re: 2014 RS6 C7 Cutting out on start up.
Hi, I have an RS4 B8.5 (2015), and the engine was periodically cutting out whilst driving. My AR (Authorised Repairer) said that it was due to an intermittent fault on the fuel pressure sensor. The part itself was about £60 but required 4.5 hours of labour to fit, as the whole top of the engine has ...

Re: Fuel Pressure Sensor Failure
Thanks robster; you are right - its the labour (and the VAT thereon) that is the major cost. The sensor itself is only £60...
I'm in SW London; I'll scout around for some independent RS experts.
