E10 petrol

Do any of you here use E10 petrol in your B7 RS4s? So instead of the premium stuff eg. Shell V-Power, you top up with the standard grade. For those of you who do, any noticeable difference in performance of the engine? Thanks

Re: DRC failure-specialist recommendations required

Hello, I seem to have suffered fairly catastrophic DRC failure and I am looking for recommendations for specialists in the south of England or near to gloucestershire to estimate for the repair. Any recommendations that other people have used would be much appreciated. Sorry to hear that. I would s...

Re: Sticking clutch pedal rs4 b7

The part number is DMF077, as listed on the rockauto website. I’ve asked rockauto to double check that the LUK product is indeed designed for a B7 RS4. I was surprised to hear that from the Sachs sales guy especially after reading that quite a few members here have bought the said DMF from rockauto ...

Re: Sticking clutch pedal rs4 b7

Sorry for reviving an old thread but I reckon this will be a relevant topic for B7 RS4 owners who are still driving their lovely machines given the age (and implied mileage) of these B7s now. I just had a quick email exchange with a salesperson at Sachs Performance because I am looking to replace my...

Re: on the HUNT - RS4 B7 SALOON

Welcome to the club! You won't regret owning the B7 RS4.
I would say have a look out on eurocarparts from time to time because the seasonal deals could save you a fair bit of money. Eg. brakes.

Re: Picking up my first Audi today.

Congratulations and good stuff - I'm sure you will enjoy it. I still remember picking up mine 5yrs ago, still lovin' it for sure.
Nice colour scheme, looks fierce and menacing.

Re: DRC spring has broken off

Quick update: pair of rear springs replaced, wheels aligned and tracked, back wheel arches no longer sink 1cm lower, and most importantly the drive quality is back to before. All done for just under £680. Interestingly though the technician couldn’t find anything wrong with the rear boot/gator, so f...

Re: DRC spring has broken off

I’ve got a full set of standard sport suspension (not SS+) taken from my old Avant at 40k miles. Not sure if you’ve got SS or SS+ or saloon / Avant? Do you know know it needs shocks too? I don’t think I’ve seen any of your other posts, so not sure if you’ve covered it somewhere else too. Mine is an...

H&r’s have a decent ride comparable to standard ss+ to me, might be because of the progressively wound springs, i have a rear ss+ spring if you need one
Thanks but the garage is sourcing/supplying the springs for me. Not sure if mine is SS+ or standard... how would I tell?

Re: Tyre choice

Pilot Sport 4 are pretty good, I’m happy with them.

Or you could try Vredestein. Seems like an underrated brand.

Re: DRC spring has broken off

Thanks fellas for the replies. I’ve got the car at an indy Audi garage now , the service manager is more or less echoing what you’ve suggested. Not an overly complicated fix. I had thought of swapping the DRC to coilovers (KW v3) but I’ve read they can make the ride a lot more rigid/unforgiving. Wou...

DRC spring has broken off

The driver’s side rear spring has finally given up. A small segment, around 5cm in diameter, has broken off. It was previously cracked but the weight of the car pressing down was holding it in. I’m just surprised that the car can still drive and handle reasonably well after all this time - the part ...
