Re: My RS4 sits wonky??

After being on holiday for a week, with it loaded with kids in and out, dont see it anymore. Only ever happens when only me has been for a drive.

Re: On the hunt - if you're selling please let me know

Sent you a PM. Just been on holiday for a week and sadly realised we need something bigger, probably going to a 6 sooner than I thought.

Re: My RS4 sits wonky??

Thread resurrection! Just had a rear DRC pipe replaced and system refilled and re-pressurised. Noticed today that when sat the rear drivers side is sat lower, prob about 10mm from wheel, others are 20mm perhaps. Not measured. I am guessing this is "they all do that" territory? Any one got a link to ...

Re: Audi Service Record - item names / meanings?

This might help. Front Final Drive: renew gearbox oil – Every 20,000 miles. Cabin interior Dust & Pollen filter – Every 20,000 miles or 2 years. Whichever comes first. Panoramic Roof : check mechanism, clean & grease slides – Every 2 years or 40,000 miles. Whichever comes first. Brake Fluid – First ...

Re: DRC (Yes, another one!)

Quick update for anyone interested as I am sure someone will be searching in future. Rear Nearside DRC flex pipe replaced at a cost of £380 inc a re-charge of system. All other pipes/shockers checked and fine. My car has 69k and has had two new shockers at 67k, rears still OK for now. Car is still a...

Re: DRC Servicing

So I spoke to Audi about 6 year service for DRC per below and they said that my car's system is gas filled and not oil, and therefore there's nothing required. I would have expected them to jump at the chance to fleece me of money, so not sure that what they said is right. Has anyone heard of gas f...

Re: Audi used car values

I just paid 24k for a 70k car.

It has just had £3k spent on DRC, £1k on tyres, £1k on discs and pads and 0.8k on Servicing.

Screen price means nowt really with these cars, the price you pay needs to be fair to you when you understand the cars story.

Re: Buying a RS4 b8 2014, any tips for buying?

Not particularly insightful tips here; but I've found that most advert descriptions are completely useless, especially Autotrader, which I assume has a generic list of options that the seller can tick off - resulting in a lot of adverts talking about having 19" 10-Spoke wheels, when the pictures cl...

Re: DRC (Yes, another one!)

Its a luxury but anyvan.com will transport mine there from Sheffield for £139 each way.

To be honest, for any major work, its a premium im prepared to pay.

II set out my spec requirements. Must haves and nice to haves. Then when found investigated history and maintenance. If that checked out mileage was pretty much disregarded. As above for myself also. Kept an eye out until one met my desired spec and colour. Mine had done 79k miles at the time of pu...
