Re: Squeaky Steering

Re: When do you suggest to change tyres

2.5mm is getting pretty close. They'll start losing performance under 3mm. I'd definitely change them before they get near 2, and do all 4.

Re: RJW’s RS4

OPF, new headlights w/ animation on start, chrome detail in rear light cluster, and perhaps crucially the 9.5 is when all the granular options disappeared and you picked from 3 or 4 trim levels instead. So no pan roof unless you find a Vorsprung, the top trim, for example

Re: Has anyone actually lowered a B9.5 RS4?!

It wasn't. RS Sports Suspension was standard, and the option was RS Sports Suspension Plus with DRC (code 2MC)

Re: Any additional maintenance required

I don't have the intervals to hand, but I think there was some confusion about gearbox and diff oil change. Dean at 4 Rings said it's normally done at 45k, but the manual was saying 60k, which he said seemed odd to him. I opted to go with it at 45k anyway.

Re: Interesting video on two RS4 with rocker arm failures

Well, did a short drive the other day to run an errand and before I switched off back home noticed a new sound at idle.

Re: RS4 Avant 20 Reg - few questions.

Not quite right DECA is just the engine code even a 2024 rs4 will have a DECA engine. After late 2019 they changed to the superceeded rocker arm bearings Ah thanks for the correction! Is there a code designation that indicates the flawed design, or is just a case of inspecting manually with a boros...

Re: RS4 Avant 20 Reg - few questions.

I'll correct myself, filled up with E5 yesterday and it was showing 415. I think 420 might be what I normally see.
