A few newbie questions

Post by pippyrips » Sat Aug 04, 2007 1:54 pm

I will be picking up my RS4 Tuesday/Wednesday so have a few questions i am hoping you can all help me with:

1)
One of the first things i want to do is polish and wax up the car and wheels. As these cars don't have spare tyres am i right to assume they don't have a jack?

Ideally i want to take the wheels off to full protect all of the alloy. Also by doing this what will i then need to do to reset my tyre pressure monitor?

2)
The car is fully loaded or very close to - am i right in thinking it with have a bluetooth phone connection and if so will it work with a sony erricson k800i?

Cheers all

1. No jack or wheel brace, just a tin of goo and small compressor.
2. You wont need to reset the tyre monitor system as long as you dont turn on the igniton while the wheels are off, but its not a major problem, very easy to do through the settings on menu.
3. Bluetooth will work with K800i, mine used to drop the bluetooth connection from time to time, it works better with K810i.
Minor problem I know but you will enjoy the car.....
