Re: Wanted B7 RS4 Saloon

Hi If you - or anyone else - are still looking, then I'll be selling mine shortly. Daytona grey with bucket seats and SatNav + all the usuals. 56 Reg with 143000 miles, but I've done every single one of them and obviously mostly on motorways in 6th gear. Full service history - all from Audi apart fr...

DRC - thought I was the lucky one. I was wrong!!

3 yr old RS4 with 48000 miles and I never thought I'd had any real problems with the DRC shocks. On my 1st MOT a few weeks ago (and 3 weeks before end of warranty) was done by an Audi dealer. They suggested some leaking on both front shocks and that all should be replaced under warranty. I'd never r...

Thanks all!

Problem solved. Plugged the pipes nice and tight and now have great sound and speed to match.

Thanks again for the help :D

Anyone had Toyos on?

44.000m and ready for 3rd set of rubber - actually desperate, as my 275/30/19 right front Goodyear F1 is disintegrating on the inside. Noticed a 'flapping' sound tonight as i drove it home and stopped to have a feel. Not even sure it's safe to drive. Anyhow - I liked my PS2s which it came on, lasted...

Thanks guys!

That's what happens when you let someone with little car knowledge loose with a pair of pliers. Guess the Gaffer Tape wasn't enough..... :oops:

I'll let you know

Loss of power with exhaust valve mod???

Hi All I keep dipping under my car to connect and disconnect those little grren pipes on my exhaust and I'm now certain that i lose power when they're taken off. Yes - it sounds great, but get a marked if intermittent flat spot - occasionally even feels like a misfire at mid-range - and that beatifu...

I'm thirty-eleven...

Which I'm sure is 30 years younger than the average Bentley GT driver. Has anyone ever come across one of these with a driver who wanted to play??

Still - insurance premiums become increasingly palatable as the hairline receeds - it's inversely proportional, I believe.

I've got mine booked for 6th Nov. I'll let you know how I get on. Might also bring my camcorder!

Were they standard spec RS4s? I presume they had sports suspension, but do you know about remaps or exhausts?

Christmas is coming early this year!!

Mine now has 15k on it and it's a monster!! :bowdown: 2nd gear is spectacularly fast and by the time it hits 75mph I've left most things behind - like 996's, sti Imprezas etc. I'm surprised that some people feel it lacks torque. I've got my first service due and I expect the ECU upgrade will make a ...

Got the buckets and have been considering the move ever since. Never thought much about it as i ordered the car in Dec 05 and they just looked fab. They are tight. I'm 6'2" and 13.5 st but i quite like the 'gripped' feeling and I've been very comfy on 3hr runs. The seat leather does seem to be a lit...

...and just to add to that - my main leverage when negotiating compensation, was the fact that my dealer had put 'ASAP' under delivery date on my initial order form. I felt that i could clearly demonstrate that seeing as he hadn't ordered my car until 4.5 months later, this was obviously not 'as soo...

Nailing an M5!

Not sure if this has been posted before. Outrageous driving, but nice to see the RS4 seriously pull away from the beemer when he gets a bit of space.

I'm choosing to think the race ended with the RS4 leaving on the sliproad....

Hi Varsity I think I'm the one Simple1 is talking about. Ordered my saloon with a £2k deposit in December 06 - told April/May delivery. Kept being postponed with the usual excuses of build slots, waiting lists, etc etc. When i was informed in August that delivery might not be this year, I wrote a 2 ...
