Bought her of a forum member after a nervous few hours waiting for the money to clear

Haha thank youTimDogg wrote:Bro, I have a lot of respect for you owning this car at this age but recognise that when it goes wrong in an RS4 it goes wrong at a speed that most other cars never reach. I'm just saying that nothing can save you from physics and maybe just being careful in the bends for a few months until you get the hang of the car would be a good thing.
You're obviously a sensible guy anyway as you bought a forum car (whose was it?) and it looks awesome but maybe just take it steady - nice colour btw just not as fast as Sprint Blue!

Also 2006 has the push buttons in the cab without the chrome. 70k miles is what I'd expect a 21 year old to settle on, no offence but you are a smart guy - these engines last for ever so you have done well - if you don't mind I might send you a link about young guys that have got into trouble with the car before you - it might help?
Yep, unless they're down to limit get them skimmed. Did mine recently and judder resolved.Dec369 wrote:TimDogg wrote:Don't bother changing the indicators, old school is best.

Yep it's to much hassle for such a little gain. A friend had one a while ago that was on 148k & said it was still running strong.
Wow that's pretty scary :/ never nice to see cars like that & knowing that people have died. I do take my time in it though & don't drive like the chavs you see in corsas wanting to race everything.
I have looked into getting them skimmed, £100 for the fronts & he said it would get rid of the judder. Might give that a go & save a bit of money for now

Re. the de-tango. I really wouldn't bother, you can buy brand new OEM headlamps (mmm, shiny) with clear indicators for £189.91 from http://www.allpartssouthwest.com/acatal ... 6_06_.html. I then sold my used ones for £220 for the pair on ebay.
I have 3 month old disks and pads [OEM] all round in my 07 RS4 Avant - I developed bad brake judder recently. Last weekend I borrowed my neighbours compressor and cleared all the vent holes in the discs and gave the calipers a good 'blow out' - My break judder has gone .....Dec369 wrote:Only problem is bad brake judder that needs to be sorted !!!
