RS4 collection checklist

[HYFR]

no u'll have a quarter min ... If its empty and they can't be arsed to fuel it, they'll give you a £25 voucher for the local petrol station

[DuncS3]

mine had half a tank of fuel only

you will get an Audi approved wallet and that has sections for the HPI, mileage check, approved guarantee etc etc

you will have a temporary guarantee that says if you don't receive the full booklet within 30 days to call Audi

[gottanS]

It is all good advice but do all the checks and have another test drive BEFORE handing the money over.

Once you have let the money go so will their interest, if it is not right do not part with your money...

Could a kind person post a pic of the boot with tools/foam/compressor/jack on show?

I looked/test drove a blue avant at the weekend spotted the foam and a box on the right of the boot. It could have been the compressor but I expected wires and tubes but there were none.

On collecting your vehicle from an Audi Centre,it's customary for you to attach it to the sales persons orificies when you realise what they said they'd do, in reality they haven't done.

Ok, joking, it's for filling the tyre up with foam if you have a puncture before you ring the AA when it doesn't work.

+1

Check exhaust flaps work with S button

[ArthurPE]

look at the OBC, both 1 and 2
see what the avg speed and mpg were
if the avg mpg is 18-20, OK, 12-14, maybe driven hard
spped ~40 mph, if it's 100 be wary
