Mine has 60,000 miles and was dyno'd by MRC at 376PS (15% down) 18 months ago. Since then I've run on Tesco Momentum most of the time (or Shell V-Power occasionally) and poured in Audi's additive G-001-770-A2 at every other fill. Now, believe it or not, keeping the revs up in all gears seems to be c...

I've removed the vac lines and plugged them with golf tees ... works perfectly, using a couple of fuel line clamps to be completely sure. With light throttle I don't think the noise is any louder than with the valves closed ... I think it's worth trying this simple 10-minute solution before rewiring.

From my Porsche days (2006-2008, 997) I remember that the 996 was rather unloved and certainly not an appreciating asset. Maybe they have become more collectable but the 997 is a better daily driver, and neither 996 or 997 is as much fun as my RS4 cabrio!

No problem as yet but I believe all mechanical pivots should be lubricated to avoid overloading their drive mechanisms. Puzzled that this aspect of a complicated roof system is not mentioned anywhere!

Does anyone here know if there is a recommended lubricant/application for the roof linkages and pivots? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere and I don't think it's part of the Audi service schedule. Might be wrong though.

Mine had water damage when I bought the car so I ordered another from Newbury Audi last October ... the price was £45.07 incl VAT. The SKU/part number is 271.561.8HR.20 (mine is an 07MY).

This is my second Audi after a selection of many nice cars, and I've had my amazing B7 RS 4 for a year. The B7 forum is fascinating and I have found it to be an invaluable source of advice whenever I have needed to learn something ... the priceless value of information on oil consumption, sticking c...

I bought my first RS 4 (a 2006 cabrio) a year ago at 56,000 miles. It has been dyno tested and diagnosed at 8% down on the expected 414 bhp due to coking. Since then (about 8 months ago but only 4,000 miles on) I have used Momentum 99 fuel from Tesco, Audi Fuel Additive about once a month (probably ...

I had the same problem, worse when cold. New clutch, slave cylinder and hose. Now perfect again.

This is my first post on RS246 ... I've been quoted a lot more than £150 (over £350) for a replacement silver panel and buttons. My Sport button is very worn, and the RS4 badge at the bottom is also showing signs of age. Where can I get a replacement for £150-ish? Any other ideas? I'm thinking the m...
