After y...

Re: Goodbye RS4 enough is enough...

Hey, guys the car just seems poorly built in comparison with my old RS4 which was much older with no rust and fewer problems, I have ranted on here before about the strange electrical goings on with the door cards lighting going out when you rev the engine etc, but that coupled with gearbox issues, ...

Well did not think I would ever be typing this... long and the short of this guys is that my 5 year old RS4 has been traded in while it still worked :audibash: I can honestly put hand on heart and say it was the most unreliable car I have EVER owned, probably spend more time with Audi/garage than me...

I have P Zero's on mine, not the best for these cars I'm told but mine does the same if the sports diff is set to dynamic, which makes the car really good fun, you will get used to the way it handles, they have torque vectoring to eac...

Re: RS4 feels slow??!?

As for the exhaust sound being quite, check that the valves in the exhuast have not seized closed? and failing that open the compartment where the tyre inflator/tool kit is in the boot and disconnect the vac lines to the exhaust valves and cap them off with a golf tee or M5 bolt which keeps the flap...

Re: Possible new car. Advice needed

Re: Did Audi collaborate with Cadbury's when building the B8?

Hi Guys, quick update on the DRC flexi pipe, No joy on warranty or gesture of good will :boohoo: It does seem a lucky dip weather or the dealerships will accept this as warranty or not.
Amazing customer services...... :piss:
