Re: Thermostat, common failure?

well well well, I take back all the mean things I said about audi the past 3 days. Audi Australia approved my warranty claim even though they noted the car has had its ECU modified, suspension replaced with KW's, exhaust modded and airbox modified. The dealer tried to reject it and I asked they esca...

Thermostat, common failure?

My car has been throwing this fault the last 3 days, booked it in for its APril service early because of them. However today it just overheated and had to stop and let it cool down. Ended up getting towed by Audi roadside assistance as I dont want to risk the engine cooking; 7038 - Thermostat for Ma...

Re: Advanced Key

My insurance company insists my car it kept garaged night and day because of the advanced key. Guess they are wise to it as well. I can't believe that, since when have insurance companies started asking about what factory optional extras your car has fitted? I am going to ask my broker for more inf...

Re: Ordered one

There's a member on here who had their standard suspension (non DRC) B8 RS4 into the dealership trying to sort out a suspension knock. So going for a non DRC setup wont necessarily escape you from that happening again. Personally I think it's down to use. Cars that hit pots holes, speed bumps regul...

Re: Creaking Dash...

Well done, its always good to get to the bottom of things. Biggest rattle I think, is the rear load area blind. I removed both the rear blind and cover in the boot some time ago. it helped but there are more to be resolved. The car came with an after market sub woofer fitted and these never help. I...

Re: Creaking Dash...

Final update, turns out it was a suspension spring that had opened up and was moving around on corners. This is now fixed :) Will work through the rest of the interior creaks rattles over the next few months. Felt good to drive it again, was stuck driving a range rover vogue this last week, just not...

Re: Creaking Dash...

Quick update: Cars been in the workshop since Monday and they thought my knock may have been something loose in the sub frame yet after tightening more than few loose bolts, its still makes the noise. The suspension seems to be OK although they are now isolating each rear spring to see if its that b...

Re: Creaking Dash...

I dont know for sure its the suspension, all i know is its coming from the back of the car. Booked it in at the place that originally fitted the kw's for the previous owner. They know the car and are held in high regard for performance suspension work. I also found another source of noise the other ...

Re: Creaking Dash...

Sam I would have happily covered t&m for the work and told them that. I did not expect them to fix it as a warranty issue.
