Re: 'Tugged' yesterday...

I was pulled for the first time in 5 years yesterday too - on the A421 from Bedford towards Milton Keynes. Clocked at 93mph apparently. Telling off ensued, much appreciation for how nice the car looked ('pretty' apparently to the other female officer!) and how good is sounded, had a chat about the ...

Re: anyone else with interior rattles?

Funny you mention the seat..... I've got three remaining rattles. 1) the seat clunks going over bumps-it sounds like plastic on metal, or similar to the noise the electric switches for seat position make when they are first touched. It seems to occur on cornering and when the seats unweightd. 2) the...

anyone else with interior rattles?

Hi All, My Rs4 is fifteen months old now. It's spent 8 weeks this year in the dealership with rattles, and has just come out after 4 weeks. Depressingly only one out the three were cured on this visit, and one of them from the drivers door has not been cured despite being present during all five vis...

Re: Questions Sport Pack

I don't think you can delete the dynamic steering from the sports pack- otherwise it wouldnt be a "package'. I came from a B7 and i felt the Dynamic steering really let the car down. I even looked into the practicalities of having it changed back to the older servotronic steering. The cost was going...

Re: My pride and joy stolen Cambs area

Sounds like an identical story to when mine was nicked in July from Sussex. Ironically a mate of mine (probably) saw it less than 10 miles away the following morning! Might be worth going cruising tomorrow am on the main roads nearby just on the off chance it's going t be moved after they've convinc...

Re: Order pushed back to build week 14

Err, my order went from build week 7, to 5 and I just heard today its gone to Week 3.
Wasn't part of my plan but for financing it, so lucky I'm on overtime right now!

Re: Just about to pull the trigger!! Can I improve on this d

You can definitely get better.
I managed 10% off in addition to the £5000 Audi contribution.

Sounds like its worth trying Kings Lynn, Martyn at Bath Audi, broadspeed if you haven't spoke to them already and speak to Worthing Audi too.

How long does it take to be told the build week?

As per the title, I placed my deposit for a new RS4 last Thursday, ( 8 days ago). I still haven't been notified of a build week yet.
Is this normal?
Or is impatience getting the better of me?

Re: Anymore discount to be had...?

I managed the £5000 off and 10% off the car and extras. (For clarity, no discount off the road tax/shipping the car to UK charges)
Ordered last week and waiting for a build week........

Re: RS4 Retail Finance offer…..

How do you know definitively that they can't keep your deposit?

I've had two dealers ask for 10%, which there isn't a chance there getting!

Re: Stolen S4

I feel for you, my RS4 was stolen in July this year. They broke in when we were out and took the keys.
Was your car on your driveway or in a garage? Did they find it due to a tracker or just a fluke?

Re: Hi, Just Picked up my New S4 Avant

I'm trying to decide between the new RS4 and the S4- I'm worried that after owning a b7 rs4, I'd regret going for the S4 - I'd be keen to hear how you think the S4 compares- the ability to fit a tow bar ( 4 mountain bikes), reduced road tax, and presumably better fuel consumption and hence running c...

Is the S4 just an A4 with a big lump up the front?

Hi All, I owned a B7 RS4 until it was unfortunately stolen this summer. My options for future cars are narrowed down to either the new RS4 or S4. Ive driven both and liked the S4 a lot more than i though i would. My concern is am I just buying a S4 which in essence is just an A4 S-line with a 3.0T e...
