Re: Steering wheel movement

So I took her out for a further drive this morning. The movement isn't as bad as first thought but it definitely feels there is a bit of movement on the steering wheel before the wheels turn themselves. Maybe 1cm of movement before the wheels turn. Is that similar to what everyone else is seeing on ...

Steering wheel movement

Hey all. Have just had my car in to Audi to replace 3 suspension bushes. It's come out and the steering seems very light, probably just me, but also seems to have some movement in it. I seem to be able to turn the wheel about an inch in either direction before anything from the wheels. Is that norma...

Re: Warranty Claim / Wear and Tear Check

They're telling me £600 for 3 of them so similar ball park.

Just annoying that they've all gone in the 9months I've owned the car!

Re: Warranty Claim / Wear and Tear Check

Well I got in touch with the garage and unsusprisingly it's not covered by warranty, oh well!

Next 2 questions...

Do these need replacing often? Noted that it is a very heavy car!

Is this something that requires urgent attention? Or is it something that can wait?

Warranty Claim / Wear and Tear Check

Hey All, Hoping that you can help me with a couple of questions. I picked up a 64 plate RS4 in December last year (and am absolutely loving it!) and have just had it in for its first service and MOT. The guys did a health check as part of the service and came up with 3 issues with the suspension: OS...

Re: Steering Issue?

Thanks for the replies.

@HPSauce
Yes it does have the lane detection but I'm not sure that it is that smart to keep you in the middle of the lane, it's only if you're actually looking like crossing a line that it steps in. I'll turn it off next time and see if that makes a difference!

Steering Issue?

Hi All, I picked up an RS4 in December and have only done a couple of long motorway journeys in it since so I'm not 100% sure this is an issue or not but wanted to sound out on here to see if anyone has seen the same or indeed if this is how it should work. When getting on a motorway I'll get to 70i...

Re: Apple CarPlay Upgrade

Interim update and a few initial observations: I fitted it yesterday on a Sunday night in the dark with a head-torch and a normal torch - wouldn't recommend this, you obviously need decent light when doing something like this but it was the only available opportunity and I couldn't wait any longer....

Re: MMI Upgrade

Hey Paul,

Did you do this yourself or did you get it installed by someone?

Thanks,

MMI Upgrade

Hey All, So after a bit of shopping around and a few questions on here (thanks for the inputs!) I am finally going to be collecting my B8 RS4 this Friday. An upgrade over my current car in all ways other than one... the stereo. I upgraded my stereo to a double din android auto unit and it's the only...

Service Query

Hey All, I have found a good candidate for my rs4 purchase. All looks well, the only thing that's throwing me slightly is the oil change. I understood that at 40k there should be the oil change for the gearbox, and drives. It appears from the service history that this took place in the early 50s. Th...

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 foru...

Re: DRC & Sports Exhaust Questions

Thanks for getting back to me! Could you do me a massive favour and let me know the screens/options on the screens that you have access to if you have DRC and the sports exhaust? From what you've said it sounds like going in to Individual Mode and then confirming you have a Suspension/Ride Comfort o...

DRC & Sports Exhaust Questions

Hi All, First post and first time here so please be nice. I have done some searching on these topics but never really got to a conclusive answer, so apologies if there is one out there that I haven't yet found. Little one on the way in Jan and my current 3-door is not going to cut it. This has given...
