Are Shell claiming to have solved our Carbon build-up issue? :shock:

Re: Steering upright! Bitch bolts! Wheel bearings, control arms

I put a new bearing in on the new upright, but you're probably right as there was nowt wrong with the old bearing.

Steering upright! Bitch bolts! Wheel bearings, control arms

Hello RS4ers, So split bushes on the control arms brought up an advisory so i decided to change them out. Drivers side pinch bolt came out after an hour or so but the inevitable happened on the Near side, bolt sheared, 4 hrs of heating and hitting then stupidly using a G clamp to try and force the p...

Re: Rear B7 abs sensor

4 years later and its kinda helped, the Little bolt holding the sensor rounded off but i got it out by using a dremel to grind flats on the head and a small socket to get it out. im now struggling to get the sensor out, next step is to smash it and drill it out. Ive bought a rear right replacement. ...

Re: MOT Concern

Agreed, it was in the small print that the horn was covered, i fought them over it but aberdeen audi wouldnt give in. Told them this would be the last time my car would be here, take it to an indy now.

Re: MOT Concern

Audi mot protection is worthless imo. My mot failed over a year ago as the horn didnt work correctly. They said the mot protection didnt cover wear and tear!!! What else would cause a failure?!!! Meh, as said before it doesnt cover a 10yo car so doesnt matter anymore.

Re: Rear brake disc options

I just got the rs4 mot'd and the rear brakes were a corrosion advisory, i just removed both today, cleaned them up and refitted them. Pads still have plenty of life and the discs are at 21mm. I took her for a spirited drive and then had a look, rear discs have barely been rubbed, front discs are lik...

Re: Rear brake disc options

I was looking at these,

Not particularly cheaper once you add in the crappy exchange rate, shipping and possibly the VAT added at customs.
