Re: New RS4?

Meanwhile there are the Competition and Competition Plus editions coming later this year. Not sure why though, was anyone really asking for a significantly stiffer ride? That was my first thought too. I wonder how many people actually buy RS4's, which is marketed [and best suited] to being the ulti...

Re: Spec question

From what I can remember, the towing option is only available if you don't have the adaptive suspension I don't have the Pano roof on my B9, but did have it on my B8 and it never squeaked or rattled. However, I never really used it and begrudged having to pay something like £150 at each, or every ot...

Re: B8 > B9

I went from from two B8's over 80k miles to a B9 early 18 and have covered 45k in mine now You do miss the V8 noise a bit, but you soon get over it as soon as you smash the pedal and don't need to be at 7k rpm to get anywhere The B9 is quite a bit faster everywhere than the B8 and the lighter V6 mot...

Re: Anyone chipped yet?

Dealer will still know it’s been mapped. I don’t think it’ll trouble the best cars at the traffic light Grand Prix as the gearbox is too slow. Not sure what you mean? My gearbox is far from slow! Had many fast cars previously - this is equal to pretty much all of them, if not better. Compared to th...

Re: Cooling fans go wild.

Car back from Audi again, and all fixed
Apparently there's an updated Thermo sensor which should stop it happening again

Re: Cooling fans go wild.

Mine’s just failed again (2nd time) It was proceeded by a number of strange electrical gremlins and the occasional warning light Typically, it only presented itself on the coldest 6am start of the year and the first sign was that the heater just wasn’t warming up and the engine temp stayed very low ...

Re: Head Up Display

I found it a bit crap to be honest. You can't see it if you wear polarised sunglasses, which nearly every decent pair of ray bans or Oakleys are, so it's only any use at night or when you're not wearing sunnies

Re: RS4 track drive vs RS6

It's a good comparison, but that guy's driving's not exactly pretty, so it'd be interesting to see if someone better could make that RS6 work as it's his driving that's making that understeer into all the corners

Re: Carplay inactive

Mine does this every so often too. I generally change the apple lead as they get damaged pretty easily, and that seems to sort it

Re: Roof Bars / Bike

I haven't got around to fitting them on my B9 yet (even though I've had it nearly 2 years), but I've always used the Thule wing bar roof racks with 591 bike carriers The audi ones look crap as they protrude over the edges and look pretty industrial, whereas the Wing bar ones look decent if left on t...

Re: B9 RS5 Gatecrasher

I’m fairly sure it was akra, well 99% anyway
I was chatting to a guy at Combe last summer, and he took me over to Chippenham and back in it
I’m sure I probably have a pic somewhere so I’ll try and dig it out later
