Standard Tool Kit, etc

Just curious on what I should find in the boot/other places in the car with regard to tool kit, tyre compressor, warning triangle, towing eye, luggage nets, etc.

With these being German, I'm assuming there would typically be warning triangle, first aid kit, etc.

Cheers

Apple Car Play

So looking through search, there seems to have been a couple of options to install Apple Car Play.

Just wondering what the most user friendly one has been for day to day use and installation?

Cheers

Re: How many miles is too many miles?

Mark.. Totally agree with the Forum cars, I'm really quite particular about originality, condition and history. Matt's car does look fantastic. The car I've seen is at Walton Audio and from memory it's around 25k. With regard to originality, it looks like its had the DRC replaced so in my mined thi...

Re: How many miles is too many miles?

I bought mine just under a year ago with 96,000 miles on it. It’s a 2013 plate, Daytona grey and quite well equipped. It had a decent service history, including replacement gearbox by Audi at 88,000 miles. That might’ve put some off, but I’m pretty relaxed about it. I’m up to a little over 110,000 ...

Re: How many miles is too many miles?

They are fantastic cars and very easy to use as an everyday car. There is a fantastic feeling you get with that engine and exhaust note, so glad I bit the bullet. I’ve had it 18 months now and it’s time to move on (EV company car beckons). The ante has upped a bit and hence the price reducing to £2...

Re: How many miles is too many miles?

Mark.. A forum car has many benefits. A. It inevitably will have been looked after. B. Servicing will normally have been adhered to. C. Generally, the seller will have posted on here, so you can follow the vehicles history as such. D. members on here will no doubt know the car, so it's miles less l...

Re: How many miles is too many miles?

Would agree with the comments from the others and I would prioritise history albeit it depends on whether you might be selling at some point in the foreseeable- if not then higher mileage might not bother you. I bought my one coming up 2 years ago with 67k (ticked all the boxes for me - pan roof, d...

Re: How many miles is too many miles?

As ever, full history is essential for these cars, is it standard, any mods like suspension change ?.. the DRC can be troublesome with many swapping out the DRC for aftermarket options mainly due to cost as the main driver. Might be an idea to post up spec, service, and maintenance history. That wa...

Re: How many miles is too many miles?

Hi Mark Servicing and condition are key in my opinion. If it looks like it has worn its miles well and back up by proper maintenance should be good if price is right. You won’t regret it. They’re awesome cars. I also think a lot of the negatives you are over egged like most things. The B7 is a bit ...

Re: How many miles is too many miles?

Hi Guys Thanks for the feedback. I got some service history back from the dealer and there doesn't appear to be any service history until 16,000 miles. On my original post, Stuart Barriskell mentioned: "As ever, full history is essential for these cars, is it standard, any mods like suspension chang...

How many miles is too many miles?

Hi All I've just copied my post from the Welcome board: Looking to buy my first RS4 and found what I think is a nice 63 plate car with 75,0000 miles. It looks to be in great condition and comes with a warranty from an Audio dealership. It seems totally original and apparently has a full service hist...
