Re: Portishead

Probably a bit too far out for you but I can vouch wholeheartedly for https://www.turner-race-developments.co.uk/ in Standish, nr Stroud. They can take care of your servicing too.

Re: Do Not Buy This B7 RS4 - FS Performance

"Maintained regardless of cost" should read "Maintained at no cost!" Shocking condition, even for the age - and they want how much for it?!? If you do take them to court, I'd get the MOT place looked into too as there's no way that wouldn't appear on the fail section, never mind listed as advisories...

Re: Pinch weld / jacking point damages?

As above, nothing to be too concerned about however you wouldn't really expect this on such a newish car. Juts make sure it's rust free for the time being if you are considering spending some money/time on it but not exactly sure what you would want to do with these areas - straighten them up someho...

Re: Dyno Run figures RFI

They should tell you what % correction factor they are using. It can be different for different types of drivetrain and gearboxes - autoboxes and 4wd will give the most transmission losses but this should taken into account by the correction factor. The 569hp figure at the flywheel would give a corr...

Re: AMG CCB brakes

There was a VCDS setting for ceramics on the B7 to wipe the discs when the rain sensors were activated to prevent this issue. Not sure how effective it was though.

Re: Underperforming S8 Stage 2???

If you read APR's own documentation they recorded 577bhp from a stock car (supposed to be 513bhp), so either they are all coming out of the factory with quite a bit more power, or APR's dyno is out of whack? APR's tuned figures are based on this higher figure, so the actual stage 2 increase is only ...

Re: ADVICE PLEASE, AND WHAT A SHOCKER AT MRC

In response to the OPs £10k bill, this is pretty typical of a car of this age which may not of been maintained very well over it's lifetime. It doesn't take much to get to those levels if it needs DRC, oil cooler, brakes, carbon clean, full service and a stage 2 remap. A lot of people sell cars when...

Re: Switching from 94 to 91 Octane?

If your car isn't mapped then you shouldn't see any long term issues, but if it's been mapped for higher quality fuel then you need to speak to your tuner as the knock sensors (or whatever the call them these days) may not be able to <beep> the ignition enough to protect the engine. Don't just take ...

Re: Snapped timing belt - RS4 B5

That's not good - was the belt new? I guess it could be a lot works i.e. bent rods or a hole in the block.

Why did you chose to use an aftermarket belt rather an OEM Audi one?

Re: Tuned R8 Horror Story ?

Surely, they would of advised him how much a new gearbox was and that his car was not covered by the Audi warranty BEFORE they fitted it? Who tunes a NA V10 anyway, especially the gearbox?

Re: In garage now : hub centric h&r 8mm spacers not fitting OZ

Yes they should fit, but I actually meant fit the OZ's without the spacers and check the fitment at the hub.
