Re: Heated Mirrors & Seats

Mirrors heat in any position if you make a change with Carista, its an option. I do it with all my VW's and Audi's, one of the changes I made on the day i took delivery.

Re: New RS4..

Its the gearbox that puts me in doubt too, ZF unit similar to the current RS6 box, so no launch control. An S-tronic box was in development for the B9 RS4/5 program with Graziano Trasmissioni (R8 S-tronic), but I'm not sure what happened to that, I'll find out Wednesday night over a curry lol My un...

Re: New RS4..

Finally!!!!! Not much of a 0-60 improvement really, 4.7 from the factory without using LC (4.5 with LC), I'd like to have seen 4.0 or less. Looks good so far though, glad to see the rear arches are flared, something between the B8.5 and the RS6. I had a B9 courtesy car recently and the build quality...

Re: No Going back now...gulp..!

I am in the same position, 3 yrs and 2st MOT on Monday, still awaiting for the B9 RS4 to break cover and get a good look at it. I am not selling until the B9 appears and I'll trade my current b8.5 in against it.

Re: Creak / rattle from drivers door.

The rubbers and windows seals are a silicone based rubber, use a silicone spray to the same effect for a longer lasting cleaner result.

Re: Adaptive light defective

The bulb can be changed just like an other, its the bulb pointing sideways in the headlight cluster. Its this part that makes them specific to the b8.5 RS4/5 as no fogs/driving lights in the lower bumper.

Re: Spacesaver

There is no space saver big enough for the RS4 brakes and no space on-board for it either. I ended up buying a set of winter rotors and on long runs I put one in the boot just in case.

Sports diff is extra, part of the sports pack or a single option in its own right, not standard though.
