Wow, my bad. I didn't spot that this was about Philippines So, no Nitro + Racing in the UK.
BTW does anyone know for sure the octane rating of Shell v-power (the old one) ?

Yep, it exists and it is a replacement for vpower with the same octane rating at 97 or 98. I'm not sure. The fact is that Shell v-power fuel in the UK is crap. For example in Poland you can buy a true V-power racing with 99 guaranteed and usually it has 100+ (tested at different petrol stations by s...

I doubt they did it correctly. I have never heard about any service (not only Audi) that carries out a proper procedure. How did your discs look like when you took the car from Audi? Did they look like new? If the answer is yes then it means that they didn't bed them in correctly. I really encourage...

This video shows the procedure I have used http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd_PtFJW ... ata_player

Don't worry if you burn your pads a little the most important part of this is to not bring the car to full stop before you cool down the discs.

Did you bed in your brake discs properly? For high performance cars you should always use bed in procedure, something similar to this http://www.apracing.com/drawings/P14.23 ... 20Pads.pdf

You should easily find some useful videos on the Internet.
Hope it helps.

Cheers sakimano, I have read this thread and found it interesting. No worries I will do a proper health check before I buy the car. Hopefully a professional will list all problems and protect me from bad cars.

Thanks guys.

Hi,
The RS4 B7 Buying guide says that it is impossible to check the carbon fouling problem before buying. I wonder if anyone of you have tried to test the car on rolling road before buying? I have read on Polish forum that the affected cars show less power than others.

Cheers,

I'm 33 and I'm aware that insurance may be really expensive. I'm kind of prepared for this as insurance for my EVO is not cheap at all.

Thank you, I have read this thread through before saying 'hi'

Hi, I'm considering buying RS4 Avant but I have been in the UK for 1.5 year only and this would be my first UK car. May I ask you for a piece of advice on how to buy a decent, used RS4 on the UK market? I'm particularly interested in RS4 Avant B7 as this seems to be the one I can afford. Any informa...

Hi All,
