Re: B8 is better than some would say
Horses for courses. IMO, in the b8 we're pretty lucky to get a high revving NA V8 bolted to a duel clutch gearbox. I absolutely love driving, but as a daily driver, if you have to travel at rush hour in start-stop traffic, I honestly can't imagine going back to three pedals. The B7 is cool as fkuc d...

Re: New brakes, (and some suspension tweaks).
RIV, any recommendations on what adjustable top arms to go for and where's a good place to get them from? Geoffdrunk, got them from QST. Not sure what they'll charge, I was getting a few bits done at the same time? Give Kim a call at QST, honestly can't fault their service. (Don't forget you will ne...

New brakes, (and some suspension tweaks).
So took a trip to QST yesterday, could not be happier.....!! The car needed some new brakes and whilst i was in two minds whether to chop her in for something else, i just couldn't find anything id rather have, (that i could justify buying, sure, id rather have a 675LT...) So, one thing led to anoth...

Re: Replacement Brake Discs & pads?
Nice one RD. Over 100mph its noticeable, over 140mph its scary. Had an advisory on the rear discs when i had it serviced a couple of thousand miles ago so i'll get them changed first. The 20k mile service was £700 from Audi which i wasn't expecting! My mates C63 was £380 and that hot rod engine must...

Replacement Brake Discs & pads?
Alright RSers, Got a bit of a wobble going on when braking from high speed after a fairly spirited late night drive back from the west country the other day. Think its time for some new discs. Does anyone have any recommendations for a more economical way of replacing them than the usual Audi credit...

Re: B8 RS4 Washer Bottle problem
Yeah, i have noticed the same thing.
Its annoying because you get the warning at the top of the MFD.
I have put it down to the sensor in the bottle being too high up and triggering the warning early as you still seem to get loads of fluid after the warning light comes on.....

Re: Calling all white b8 owners was it you?
Thank god - i thought i was the only person struggling with the excessive G forces generated by my cars, 'sports-focused' braking system.
I really don't know how you boys with ceramics cope.....?

Re: ** FOR SALE**
I reckon the salesman got caught on the forum, needed to justify his dossing and so hastily uploaded an advert for a car in the vain hope he could kill two birds with one stone...!

Replacement brake pad help.
Anyone got any suggestions for aftermarket replacement brake pads for wavy steels?
Audi want near on £500 to replace the fronts and I figure there must be some decent alternatives on the market for the same as / less than that? (Hopefully!).

Re: Sports Exhaust - black tips - degradation
So - had a 10 minute conversation with Audi today explaining, (relatively politely) that I could not understand why they would charge me extra for an option, (black pack) that rendered my car, that was quite clearly designed for winter driving, obsolete, if the roads had been salted. (A bit dramatic...

Re: Sports Exhaust - black tips - degradation
Picked my car up from having a service this morning and they, (Audi Portsmouth) have refused to replace the tail pipes under warranty. I have logged a complaint with Audi UK so we'll see what happens. Incidentally the headlight washer cover does not close properly and their diagnosis for this is to ...

Re: Lowered on H&R's and spaced
Yeah, a mate had a load of work done on an old S3 and an S4 years ago and he reckons they were pretty good.
So, the S/C'd 5, worth £13k...?!
