Re: Octane rating

Been running stage 2 for over a year with 95 every fill up. Though I had Doug map it accordingly so not sure if that's the difference in his advice?

Re: What are the slots for ?

I did briefly ponder my liability for suggesting you open it up with your head below dash level... :twisted:

Re: 95 or 98 fuel?

Mine has been run on 95 for the 1.5 years I've had it and much to Doug's disgust when he replaced the APR stage 2 tune with his MRC rework, though it means my employer foots the fuel I cost rather than I, or at least 60% of it. I can't find dyno chart at minute but recall it was 465 PS with Doug con...

Re: Another off to MRC thread

Was in with them having mine reflashed this morning but Doug had me back on the road home by 9:45 and it's good to have the remap performance back :-)

Re: Revo / Konzept Auto

I had APR on mine software and pulley. Then went for MRC remap with he APR pulley... MRC every time is my recommendation.

Standard DSG software on mine.

Re: B8 oil dip stick

Pretty sure David over on enthusiasts runs a 2.0T engine - hence likely different part that he needed / used?

I ordered 06E115611H for my 09 S4 and it fits and seems to read level just fine.

Re: Broken S-Tronic gearbox

Well I dropped my '09 in for an very intermittent issue of gear hunting, kangarooing reverse and occasional rough downshifts in slow traffic. Sods law it wouldn't play up whislt I took the master tech out to try and replicate the issues - so left my car there for further testing and diagnostics last...

Re: Broken S-Tronic gearbox

Thanks for the thorough insight. Glad to hear it's finally getting sorted.

I have intermittent lurching though without any fault codes Audi are unable to isolate further. Booked back in again later this month to see if they can reproduce it.

S4 Recall (potentially)

Unbelievable that braking noise can be such a challenge... Disks with friction pads are hardly cutting edge :-) I read a few similar tales from RS3 owners, change in pad compound hopefully going to solve for them. I wonder if you tried some replacement pads (EBC or similar) whether it would make a d...

Another MRC convert

I would imagine the stop / start shutdown is a help, feels like it's practically dripping unburnt fuel in stop/ go traffic. I had an oil burner prior, with twin turbos and 3 litres after a remap it was a blast but only in dry conditions. Although I do miss the 500 mile tank ranges, the free revving ...

Glad it's not just me that only manages 20 or so mpg on my S.
