Re: Anybody got a miltek and willing to meet up?
Hey, Not able to meet unless you come to Ireland. However, I have a Miltek with resonators. Valves closed is similar as far as I know to the Valves open on standard exhaust. Not boomy while crusing etc. Valves open is LOUD. Especially at low Revs, its too boomy for cruising with valves open all the ...

Re: Exhaust tips
Interested in this too, mine are the black versions and are badly pitted and look a bit shoddy. Was hoping to get it done last year but didn't get round to it. Might have a crack at it myself if its easy and will report back

Re: New owner, couple of possible issues High Idle and Flickering interior lights
Nope. Still does the exact same thing. Never got any worse, and never does it under any other circumstances so I just accept it as a quirk. I did once have the engine go to a high idle setting after sitting in heavy traffic for a long time, and it returned to normal after some driving. I wonder if t...

Re: B8 RS4 Running Costs & Potential Problems
Hi Andy, I'm just coming up on 1 year of ownership of my 2014 RS4 in Ireland, and I haven't had any surprises really so far touch wood. I'd start with your last point, B8/8.5 - it's the facelift basically. However the RS4 was only released in the facelift version as B8.5 so that's all there is. I'm ...

Re: Forum has gone very quiet..?
Maybe people are toop busy out and about enjoying them to post on the forums
Had mine just over 6 months now, still loving every minute. Aside from a Cam actuator fault which I replaced myself ive had no issues. Might have a very slow coolant leak but can't find any evidence so far.

Re: TYRE RECOMMENDATIONS
Having just joined the B8 club I have been looking for two tyres or four depending on availability. The car is currently on Pirelli’s but will need two front tyres in the new year. Pirelli’s are not my first choice Michelin PS4S are. Ideally looking for a bit of advice on what others on the forum a...

Re: Engine Fault - Camshaft Position Sensor - Ideas?
Thanks @RS4GCI for the reply. I have new actuator on order anyway so will change that. I wondered if it might be to do with electrical supply, perhaps after cold start battery might be a bit weaker if the actuators are stiff. Just seeing as it only does it from cold, never once the car has been star...

Re: DRC & Sports Exhaust Questions
Hey, I just went and had a look at my screens. I do not have an option for suspension control, so it would appear that I too do not have DRC :bash: I have four options as you can see which is Engine/Gearbox, Steering, Sport diff and Engine sound (exhaust) I found another picture from different forum...

Re: DRC & Sports Exhaust Questions
Hi Peetysmith, All good questions, and it took me a while to understand as well before I purchased mine recently. I have attached the Audi brochure from 2014 (not sure anything really changed between years) As for DRC, it is an option on its own or as part of the Sports pack. All cars have the drive...

Re: Engine Fault - Camshaft Position Sensor - Ideas?
I had this issue, cam position (inlet) slow response. Cured by replacing cam control actuator and perform oil change. Job was 3hrs, didn’t require engine removal. The actuator works on oil pressure, it’s definately worth changing oil if this is your issue. Hey, did you do the work yourself on this?...

Video of idle changing from low to high. With slow raising revs it settles back to normal. Then with fast blip of throttle it settles at higher value and stays there until engine turned off

New owner, couple of possible issues High Idle and Flickering interior lights
Hi all, Proud owner of a 2014 Ibis white car for the last month. So far I love the car to bits, just fitted new Michelin tyres all round and am getting used to driving the car. Just a couple of things which I don't know if they are normal or an issue. 1st: Sometimes after driving the car I have foun...
