No probs

Some more info on the cam follower below. Ignore at your peril! Not sure if VW would check it for you or not

I came from an Edition 30 to the RS4, loved mine, such a capable car. As Faisal said, a brake upgrade is a must with more power, they fade terribly, cam follower is important and also worth checking the cam chain. Mine was manual but kind of wished it was dsg!

Yeah mine was just stage 1, it was a shade over 300bhp and 300lbft from an R tech map. Was a cheap way of gaining a fair few more horses.

Assume that was that stock, so no panel filter or decat etc. Don't get me wrong they're quite a capable little car just feel with a stage 1 it'll be how it should of left the factory if that makes sense.

Yeah, it did have a panel filter but that was it. I put a milltek on a couple of years later. Your right, stage 1 is how they should have been from the factory!
