RS4 B7 Stated Power claim of 420ps

[sonny]

Iv to been reading the thread on RS6, interesting.

So it would appear that all FSI engines from all manufacturers suffer from carbon build up and that over time this may/will impact on performance, if this is every 50-70,000 miles I can live with that at least I have no cam belt to change. There seems to be no cure unless you want to ditch the big V8 and go electric oh decisions, decisions. It was interesting to see porches valves thought it was a RS4.

im so bored of this subject now its untrue

my car has been in with Audi for about a week now, been driving around in a A3 1.8T. I cant wait to get back into the RS 4

also I see the RS5 has the same donkey we have just with more horses so unless Audi are incredibly stupid (stop laughing at the back) you'd think they wouldn’t continue with this engine....would they?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ boring boring boring,my mates just coughed up £3k for a major service on his 996t and then had some kind person key it,my arse is staying firmly in the rs4 name me a better 4 door car that is quick all year round,good build quality,good depreciation etc etc then il think about jumping ship,any 400bhp car is highly unlikely to make bang on its power,the last dyno session had b5s that should make 420 producing 380 so what!!! If your that bothered dont buy one or sell the one you have but tell me what your buying thats better as im all ears!!

Google is your friend:

i don't see a source at Audi or quattro quoted in that link - just a pst from a member called Qisha who has an avatar that uses the Audi logo - which IMHO doesn't make him/her a source within Audi.

[ArthurPE]

so it is not from Audi AG, as the VP Audi NA relayed to me...and no where in the post does he claim it to be...

I will forward him this link, thanks Marcus

David, any progress on your car?

[svassileou]

Hang on, CW20/2007? Not that this matters much but there can't have been that many built this late into the production cycle, surely?

So given that there appear to be factual errors in his post (no changed parts after week 20 2007, rings are not in the head,...) IMHO Qisha's "opinions" shouldnot be given any more crediblity than any other (apparently) non-technical owners' opinions.

or be patient & keep an open mind. This issue has been raised by more than one person, in more than one continent.

The supposed issue of power loss due to coking up has been raised and discussed ad infinitum, so there's already a lot of opinions and some fact in the public domain.

Another post that contains factual inaccuracies adds nothing to the current state of knowledge, so there's nothing to wait for or keep an open mind about regarding the post by Qisha.
