S4 servicing/value

Just looked at one of these at a franchised dealer. 56 plate car registered Jan 07. 30k miles. Pretty shocked by servicing, or lack of. Only 1 service in book at 14k miles. I seem to recall that this engine needs frequent oil changes-I know all about Audi 'long life' servicing but presumably this is...

Looks a pretty good buy...

I did contact the seller a few weeks ago about this car. It was originally advertised at £18995. Serviced on 'Longlife' schedule. I left a message on the sellers answerphone, and sent an email, saying that I would like to have the car inspected by Unit 20. They are not far from the seller. I never r...

I have been looking for an RS4 but have decided to leave it for the time being following advice from a friend who has been in the motor trade for over 30 years. He has told me that anything with a big engine and/or low fuel efficiency is, at the moment, just about impossible to sell. This seems to b...

Wanted B5 RS4 Avant

I am looking to purchase an excellent B5 RS4. Nothing registered after end of Feb 01 as i do not want to get caught by the new car tax rates. Not fussy about colour. Sunroof essential, Sat Nav preferred. Not bothered whether half or full leather. No more than 70k miles. Car must have full service hi...

Sat Nav retro-fit

Has anyone retro-fitted the sat nav unit to an RS4? Can you get up to date mapping? Is the wiring already present? Would it be better to fit a unit from a later A4? Any recommendations as to who could do this in SW England? Presumably the TV function which is, I think, analogue will cease to functio...

Just driven RS4

Further to my post about servicing I have just had a test drive in a 2000x RS4. What a tremendous car-I definitely want one. However.... With the car I have just seen, with 78k miles, and full Audi SH, I have some concerns. Seller bought it from Gatwick Audi in 2001-car previously registered to VAG....

RE: Servicing etc

Thanks for the replies. A car has been advertised quite close to where I live-2000x with 78k miles at £18k-Audi demo and 1 owner-FASH with docs-almost all factory options fitted. Cams replaced at 60k for some reason-car has had 2 cambelt and tensioner changes, first at 39k with last replacement done...

Servicing etc

Thinking of buying one of these but worried about servicing/maintaining car. I live near Exeter-would not really trust local Audi franchise. What would be the nearest specialist? I don't mind travelling up to 150 miles or so. Also does anyone know either of 2 cars on the Pistonheads website-one in D...
