Soft Limiter _ Park - Neutral overide .....

Understand that there's 'a reason' Audi apply Soft Limiter on (all?) models in recent years. Some Owners and or Auto Journalists lament that can't listen time to time to exhaust in Park or Neutral. An accidental condition I noticed today when lifting wipers from windshield ahead of overnight snow .....

However, I got a call from my dealer in November that my car got a severe damage during producation and had to re-produce from scrach. In addition, due to Covid-19, all the production proces...

B9 Dress Up

Came across link by chance, and opting to post as - while each to their own - the pics may instigate some polarizing comments?:) Personally, not my style of mods, in fact not sure any appeal to me ...... 'maybe' the FR/SIDE/RR skirting mod. The roll cage in particular seems a bit outlandish? https:/...

Re: Advanced Key

If anyone is searching for info on the advanced key and finds this thread then, now that I have the car, let me say that Ian_C was right in saying there is an option that enables/disables whether the door opens by just touching the door handle. So no need for faraday pouch, steering lock etc. open_...

Re: DRC issues

If pressure drops, for whatever reason, the valve / accumulator will eventually fail too. So if pressure low and leak / damper repaired you need accumulator too. Thanks for that feedback. I don't want this to end up being an in&out and then again in&out 'boomerang repair' job :( I'll push back at D...

Re: DRC issues

I have my car back, there was small leakage on a hose near rear left shock absorber and due to low pressure for longer time there was bad actuator too. All done under warranty I have something 'similar'. Several months back I walloped the front passenger wheel - running over a tire stop in car park...

Re: MY2021 is getting a new style steering wheel?

I just saw this on Audi Japan configurator.

Re: Custom Wheel Offset

I found out RS5s can take 10.5 ET25 ish. Are RS4s about the same? I'm currently looking at custom wheels and have found the same as you. 10.5 ET25 or 10 ET20 seem to be the ideal fitment for the B9 RS This calculator seems to be helpful for doing side by side comparison , assuming say you plug in ;...

Re: Can you fit a CD player to a 2020 B9 RS4?

Hi folks, I’m wondering if it’s possible to fit a CD player to a 2020 B9 RS4? I’ve noticed in my brand new B9 RS4 what looks like a slot it would fit into, within the glove compartment. Has anyone done this? Got any info on parts required? Is coding necessary? Costs? Thanks in advance for help Sent...

Re: Interior Ambient Lighting

Thx Paul for your detailed reply - just catching up to this now. It's a small peeve in the big picture of things about B8 RS4, but I'm nonetheless surprised that I appear the only one bothered by it:) Yep, it seems what what you describe is same spec in UK as what I have here (JP).

Although there are 'various' threads on web for Audi Interior Ambient Lighting, none I've seen address a solution to following query. When ignition is switched on, Door Handle Trim lighting momentarily illuminates 'brightly', and th...
