Re: EPC Light EML Light 614 Relay Fuel Pump Relay

Thank you for the heads up. I'll be wary then!

Presumably the relay job they did fixed the issue once and for all?

Re: EPC Light EML Light 614 Relay Fuel Pump Relay

Little update on this. The skuttle area behind the engine and in front of the bulkhead was full of water. This is basically where all the water ends up which comes down the windscreen. I found the drain, which looks like a large teardrop and gave it a prod. The grommet fell through the hole and the ...

EPC Light EML Light 614 Relay Fuel Pump Relay

After 6 years of trouble free motoring, my 2007 RS4 Avant decided to have a little wobble today. :boohoo: Laboured start (normally fires in about 3 cranks), then it started, lumpy and the EPC light was on. The EPC has never been on before. Drove it carefully and car would go from running fine, to mi...

Re: Pre Purchase Inspections

Hi Mark, If it were me I'd offer to the seller to take the car to a specialist GARAGE and have them give the car a once over. You pay. Then make your decision on their report. It's going to be an hours labour for a good garage, and hopefully they'll be a specialist near to you. Any prospective selle...

Re: First Audi RS6 C7

Hi Steve, My advice would be that the options really do make the difference. You'll likely pay more to have them but it'll be a more sorted car AND more importantly it'll make it easier to sell when it is time to move on. I'd find out what people recommend on the options list, work out your "must ha...

Re: No Cabin Heat from Heater Vents

New motor solved this.

Was charged 1.5 hours labour. It's a pig of a job.

Motor was about £200 though :(

Pleased to be warm again in the cabin!

Re: DRC making rubbing sound / carbon clean

Others may disagree, but the failure mode of the DRC is not normally squeaks. A failing DRC tends to knock. A "loose golf ball in the boot" is a commonly compared noise. Squeaks would suggest bushes more than shocks. Given it has another issue too, I'd get it to a reputable independent and have them...

Re: B7 RS4 - Wanted

How about a good used RS4, in any colour, then just wrap it?

Re: Noises driving me crazy!?

Is a noise linked to rotation or lateral movement? That should help narrow down the issue, i.e. rotor assembly Vs suspension

Re: Noises driving me crazy!?

I'm no expert on the C7 but would suggest some more info if you're expecting a helpful response.
