Re: Has anyone managed to successfully repair or wrap the milky aluminium trim?

I'd be interested in finding this out as well. Car is otherwise pristine, but those surrounds draw all the attention :/

Re: 2018 RS4 avant B9 - exhaust valves

Most likely the soot/carbon build up has stopped the flap from moving. If you poke the flap on either the top or bottom, you should see that one side moves freely, the other doesn't

What was wrong with it that it had to come through Copart?

Re: Valves not opening in Dynamic

Also, if you wanted to disable them and always want them open, disconnect the vacuum line and stick a bolt in the end of the vacuum line to shut off the gap.

Re: Valves not opening in Dynamic

Another B8 owner here where the left hand exhaust flap is stuck. Mine is however always stuck in the open position. I've had some success with cleaning around the valve with carb/brake cleaner and then lubricating it, but after a few months it is stuck again. The right hand side works as expected. S...

Re: My RS4 Avant journey

MOT time https://i.imgur.com/x5hBfYY.jpeg Of course it passed with no advisories. Only snag is that the DVLA has messed up my MOT history when I changed to a personal plate, so instead of maintaining my original expiry date (15/12) it has now been set at 16/11. Had already put an inquiry in with the...

Hi Mate. In my iPhone I can tell Siri to "Create a route to X location, using Google Maps" and it will open Google Maps with that location. So it should work with your Car Play unit.
I'll try that next time I'm in the car :thumbs:

Re: My RS4 Avant journey

It's been flawless since the firmware update. The only thing I don't like is that it takes a good 30-60s to boot into it, but I guess that also means that it isn't draining the battery. All my other annoyances are with Apple CarPlay itself, for instance not being able to get Siri to plan a route in ...
