Re: Spigot Rings - Wheel wobble and vibrations

One step at a time... I'd start with actually measuring things. What's the diameter of the hub, what's the diameter of the bore that's supposed to sit on the hub. Also, are both still round/concentric or not. If a refurb played a role here (and I personally have never heard of such a thing happenin...

Spigot Rings - Wheel wobble and vibrations

Hello Bit of a random one, but hopefully someone can help. I have been experiencing wheel wobble and vibrations throughout the car (seats) mainly at 65-75mph. I have had almost everything on the car checked - brakes, driveshafts, cv boots, bushes/mounts, spacers, wheels, tyres. I've even had road fo...

Re: RS4 B7 Avant Daytona Grey - 26k miles on an 08 plate.

A car with slightly more miles (around 32k), and very high spec (heated wingbacks, ⁠flat bottom steering wheel, adaptive xenon headlights, Bose/Audi concert stereo, ⁠DRC suspension etc) Was listed on a forum at £28k (as a private sale) and sold in a week, I believe at very close to asking. Which ca...

Re: Exhaust flexi replacement

So iirc the flexi is part of the downpipe, which would align with what you've said above. This downpipe can be in 3 different formats. 1) OEM with OEM cats, 2) aftermarket downpipe with sports cats or 3) aftermarket downpipe with decats. I have ran both 2 and 3, and would recommend 2 for various rea...

Re: B7 RS4 Lower Door Blade, Front Right (8E0853960)

I’ve paid for one to be developed. Reverse scanning of the passenger side to make a CAD drawing to then have a mould made. Back mounting part will be laser cut. Mid June I should be providing my car to test fit the part. I’ll then own the mould and can order them to sell. I've been saying someone s...

Re: Valved Exhaust Options

The resonators play an important part in keeping a decent exhaust note. Believe it or not, the HMS system is resonated. Resonated, yet sharper, louder and more violent than my non-resonated Milltek. They help the exhaust sound more clean and crisp. The Milltek always sounded a bit raspy and farty t...

Re: Valved Exhaust Options

I swapped my Milltek out for a HMS which is exactly the sound you are describing. High pitched flat plane V8 sound. Absolutely screams and, although I'm now bias, is by far the best sounding exhaust I have ever heard on an RS4. The Capristo sounds ok but the price is crazy, diameter is no wider tha...

Re: Valved Exhaust Options

What are the two pipes pointing down out of interest?
Is that an original Nogaro?!?! Amazing if so, I thought there was only 1 or 2 made in that colour. Sorry to take the thread off topic but would love to see more pics.

Have you seen this one? https://forum.rs246.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=145387 Seemed a nice enthusiast example and ticks a lot of your boxes.

Re: Recall

Hi Has anyone had audi tell them that if the car has been mapped they can not carry out the airbag recall on the car. As just spoke to audi and was told if the car has been mapped they cannot carry out the work. Thanks That is hilarious. What has that got to do with replacing an airbag :lol: And Au...
