Re: Potential RS4 Owner Service Question

They are the RS4 wheels just done in black and then diamond cut.

Re: Potential RS4 Owner Service Question

Couple of things that stand out to me is it seems quite strong money and the wheels have been refurbished at least once, probably more. They need doing again and I don't think there is enough metal left to cut. Also they should have a matt finish not gloss. Might be worth finding out who the indy ga...

Re: Engine temperature readings

The one on the dash is water temperature, that will always get to temp the quickest.
The other is oil temp and will take longer, I always wait until it gets to 90 degrees before loading the engine too much.

Re: Anyone know this car please :-)

It may be me, but the RS4 badge on the front grill looks too close to the :kissmyrings: Possible worth checking for any possible previous front end repair work. That badge wouldn't normally be removed / replaced / repositioned, so may warrant a closer front end examination? Good spot, it is in the ...

Re: Anyone know this car please :-)

Personally I quite like it, not often seen as an option. It makes the interior feel more spacious.

Re: Anyone know this car please :-)

Don't know the car but a couple of observations, you may already know. Non oem wheels, but if you like them fine. The front discs have been replaced with non genuine parts. Possibly Zimmerman? Option wise no memory seats. Otherwise other options look good. Closely check the service history and good ...

Re: Ceramic brakes - chips from friction surface

I agree this should be replaced. I would not buy it unless it was.
How many miles has the car done. Have the discs been weighed and checked against the minimum weight marked on the bell? I would inspect the other 3 too.

Re: Titanium/Black Optics alloy wheel colour - L8AU?

You must specify you want matt, I believe it's the matt lacquer that gives the finish.

Re: B8 RS4 rear caliper cover?

I think they were C7 RS6 ones. Had to drill and tap two holes to fix them on if memory serves me well.

Re: Start up.

How many miles has your car now done Stu? I seem to get 30k from front discs.

Re: Carbon cleaning before and after

That seems to be the price range for a carbon clean. It's quite labour intensive as you will know! I just fancy having a go myself I know it would be done properly.
Did your injectors come out easily or were they stuck?

Re: Carbon cleaning before and after

Thank you for that information, very helpful. I am not sure if mine needs doing but at 62k miles it would help. Plus it's knowing it's done. I had spotted a vacuum/blaster on eBay. It looks a good option but not sure it's worth spending the money as it would only get used once. https://www.ebay.co.u...

Re: Carbon cleaning before and after

How are you finding the difference? Was it worth doing?
Did you do the blasting yourself l, if so what did you use?
You didn't mention any before and after Dyno runs, might be worth it to see how it performs now?
