I watched the show last night and agree with everything previously posted, but look where they were testing these car's, on a dry racetrack in Spain. Which car out of the 3 would you rather be driving on UK roads at this moment? I'll answer for you :greyrs4: :greyrs4: :greyrs4: It makes the review t...

But what residue and where is it coming from? It's of a light grey color i.e you can only just about see it in daylight but it's there under hard acceleration. I'm as you can probably tell not mechanically minded, but I would have thought with this type of highly tuned engine that there might be so...

Mine smokes on cold start fairly regularly - especially so if the engine only ran for a few minutes when previously started, for example when moving it from the driveway to the garage the previous night. The oil consumption is also quite high, I would say I have put in at least 4 litres in the 8000...

Tyre Options
My Pilot Sports are just about worn out, question is are they the best choice for the RS4's or does anyone have another tyre preference, if so what is it and why are they better than my current tyre's

IMO unless your driving a car which is putting 500+ HP to the the tarmac, once you move up to car's such as the RS4's,Lancers,M3(E92) and any other sports car which does 0/60 in 6 sec or less it starts to become less clean cut during head to head situations like Markweems, if I take a friend who dri...

I went from a DMS tuned 535D to my RS4, don't get me wrong the BM is a fine piece of kit and with the DMS re-map it did actually feel faster than my RS4, probably due to the massive amount of torque it had, but I must warn you it's just so easy to drive with such a lack of involvement it becomes inc...

I was one of the guy's on RS6.com who had a good moan about the software upgrade. I don't think, if I remember right that I said the car was slower, but IMO the delivery is less frantic or smoother as Petrol/Dave put it,and what really got my blood boiling was not being given an option to say no I d...

OK as this is a distinctly touchy subject I'll move onto something slightly different. I like the sound of this Exhaust baffle upgrade that JD Engineering Holland offers,but as I'm not planning on taking a trip out there in the near future does anyone know if any of the UK Re-Mappers are aware of th...

RE: Re: DMS Re-Map
I hadn't actually planned on visiting DMS for the Re-Map as I live in the North and they've always been obliging enough to pay me a visit and Re-map my car at home,but reading some of the other threads this is looking like a bad option,as it seems to me that most of you guy's irrespective of Re-map ...

DMS Re-Map
New to the forum so Hi folks. Seriously thinking of having a Remap done by DMS as I've had a couple of previous BM diesels remapped by them and liked the service and of course the improved performance. I know there are loads of threads regarding Remaps by various companies but I don't see any regard...
