Re: Strut tower gromet

Thanks, Jools. Spot on! I'm embarrased to admit I didn't think to look on the underside for a part number but it is the one you quoted and the gromet does fit both apertures. I'll get one ordered.
Thanks again for your help, Ian

Strut tower gromet

Does anybody happen to know the Audi part number for the nearside rubber gromet that fits into the hole on the top of the front strut tower for a B9.5 RS4 please? I opened the bonnet over the weekend and noticed the nearside gromet is missing and splattering the engine bay with mud so I would like t...

Re: Service

You should be able to get a service plan quote online at https://www.audi.co.uk/uk/web/en/owners ... plans.html. The plans are discounted until Dec 8th. I had my car changed to fixed-interval servicing so that it gets an oil change very year.

Re: RS4 B9 Maintenance - What to expect?

Having just used the two services in my service plan, I've been going through the same process myself. It's not easy. I did come across a page on the Audi UK website for fixed-price servicing for cars 3+ years old. Enter your car's registration and it shows local dealer pricing for an oil change or ...

Re: Brake fluid change frequency

Thanks for the replies. I must admit I didn't know the formulation of brake fluid had changed. I'll get it replaced.

Brake fluid change frequency

I just booked my B9.5 in at my local Audi dealer for an oil change/inspection service - the car's two years old and has done 10,000 miles. The following day I received an email from them entitled 'It’s time to change your brake fluid'. I was curious to know what others thought was a sensible frequen...

Re: Sports differential fault please contact workshop

@Jools, I've setup my OBDeleven. When you refer above to a pre and post scan, do you just mean running a 'full scan' before and after starting the car or are you referring to capturing the live data for a specific control module?

Re: Sports differential fault please contact workshop

When the ghost warning messages appear, the car starts and drives fine (with the last warning message continuing to be displayed). In practice, what I normally to do is turn off the ignition, wait a few seconds, turn it on again and the car invariably starts OK with no messages. As it happens, I did...

Re: Sports differential fault please contact workshop

Interesting discussion. When I bought by B9.5 last year, it already had a MetaTrak tracker fitted. A few months ago, I had the tracker upgraded with an immobiliser and, since then, I occasionally get two or three warning messages popup when I turn on the ignition. It only happens once in around twen...

Re: Car insurance hike

Thanks for all the replies. I got quotes from several other insurers (including Audi) but LV still worked out the least expensive. When I spoke to LV - as with Jools' experience - they declined to dicuss the reasons for indiviual policy increases but did offer to reduce my renewal premium by £40. In...

Car insurance hike

I received my car insurance renewal this morning. I was braced for a fairly hefty rise but wasn't quite prepared for the 78% increase that LV quoted me to renew. Same RS4, same address, full NCB and I've never made a claim. Staggering. Has anybody else faced a steep rise in their renewal premium rec...

Re: Hello

I realised after posting that the ‘ok’ you press is the turn wheel/button on the left of the steering wheel. Hopefully that is what you are trying? I reset my short term mpg no problem Thanks for the replies. Having now observed the flaps, I can see (and hear) them open when I choose 'dynamic' in d...

Hello

Hi. Just joined the forum having traded in an M3 for a year-old RS4 in Mythos Black. Really enjoying the car - it feels just as quick as the BMW but a lot more refined. I'm sure the four-wheel drive will be welcome in the wet, too. Options on the car included the comfort/sound pack and sports exhaus...
