Re: Range on a full tank

I get about 300 every time on Shell VPower, a mix of around town, A/B roads and motorway. And that's not creeping around either.

Re: Thoughts on carbon clean?

I've had the same thought, but I suppose the only way to find out if it needs it is to get the inlet manifold off and have a looky see?

Re: Audi used car values

Funny that... almost! Yes they started on the ‘if a panel has more than 5 stone chips then it needs a smart repair’ well there took care of the bonnet and front bumper plus a scratch on the rear bumper and lacquer peeling on the wheels etc bla bla. I did manage to strike a deal with the guy and got...

Basic question - do we only need 2 pads per disc for the front? My Zimmermann front discs are arriving today :).
4 pads per caliper for the front, 2pads per caliper at the rear.
What he said! :nodder:

Re: Audi used car values

No the owner is Greek so related to KM better them miles. OK - that's understandable. I assume you did an HPI check regardless? I did. VOSA had the KM listed on the MOT records with Miles in brackets. Hoping I can get Audi to move it back to miles and update the service record. All a bit weird in K...

Re: Possible recall issue

Just took a call from my Audi dealer who wanted to get my car in urgently to replace a nut that holds on the steering wheel (rather than the one behind it!). Maybe worth checking yours? Interesting. Did they give you any specifics? Like chassis number / production year etc? Lightly salted or dry ro...

Re: Footrest / pedal positions

I reckon the brake pedal is about 1" too high - relative to the throttle and footrest.

Re: Audi used car values

OK so picked it up last night and some unexpected good news is the dash is set to KM so 17k KM = 11k miles!!! Jeez - that must be the lowest mileage RS4 in the country! No wonder it's in good nick, but I wonder why it was set to km? It's speedo hasn't been "doctored" has it? No the owner is Greek s...

Re: Gearbox service

Slough are pretty crap and clueless, Mark who has been there for years is a pain in the ass to deal with. Stay local, nothing to gain IMO. Ps, Audi do price match with garages in a 10 mile radius That's so weird, Mark and the team at Slough Audi have looked after me really well (and we've had all o...

Re: Audi used car values

Do WBAC increase their offer to get it or is that a true market value kinda thing? I think it's a bit of both. I know they track market values up and down, plus their own sales out. But then there is the "human" element that inspects your car, who is incentivised to get it as cheap as they possibly...
