Replaced several wheel arch liner fasteners and nuts. No leaks! Headlight pump grommet about the only one not changed". All were accessed by removi...

Re: Carbon trim removal and refurb

It can be done, but this might not make sense for you since I’m in the U.S.: After buying many new OEM carbon replacement trims (they all cracked, esp. shifter plate), I finally bought a whole set of refurbished trims from ocarbon.com (you send yours to be refurbished (and wait), or they send you a ...

Re: Engine Coolant loss help

FWIW I had a different kind of coolant leak that resulted in an engine pull. After living with slow coolant loss over many winters and after many dealer pressure tests that said everything was fine, I asked another dealer one more time to take a look. An older tech figured out it was the short coola...

Re: I can't tell the difference...can you tell the differenc

I'm not translating too well from this (that) side of the pond - FON, CBU? (I'll stab - CBU is some repetitive,ad nauseum question related to the intake manifold that I won't ask?)

Re: I can't tell the difference...can you tell the differenc

Also page 41 explains it further. In Sport mode, the flaps close up again after engine speed increases, and then open up again depending on speed and load.

Re: I can't tell the difference...can you tell the differenc

I just got my RS4, so have been reading up on this. It seems even without the sport button engaged, the flap opens up at higher rpms. Sport button is only for a louder idle and a slightly more aggressive throttle mapping. I may be wrong but it might explain why you don't hear a difference at WOT. Se...
