Re: B9.5 pricelist PDF?

I checked my pricelist and it is the B9 version, I don't think that they ever produced a separate B9.5 version just relied on the on-line configurator.

Re: Tyres

Hi I have the Hankooks and can't fault them. I probably don't push the car as hard as some but find them good both in the wet and dry. I have currently got 12000 miles on them and there is a fair bit of tread left.

Re: Brake fluid change frequency

I had mine done at first service/ 2 years seems standard for Audi. Probably worth it on a performance car as the boiling point can go down with age.

Re: Frustrated with noisy DRC accumulators on 2020 B9.5 RS4 Vorsprung repeat failures

That should not be happening on a car of this value. Luckily mine (same year but base model) has conventional suspension. There must be some specific issue with your car otherwise there would be many more complaints especially considering your relatively low mileage?

Re: 360 degree camera question

I think this is just how it works - mine does the same!

Re: Coolant

This came up some time (couple of years!) ago my car used a little coolant in the first few months but has since settled down.

Re: Parking brake question

I think that if you just stop the car with the start stop button whilst in drive then the parking brake comes on otherwise it is as you say.

Re: Contemplating coming back to rs4 ownership

I have a 2020 B9.5 and no issues so far apart from the myaudi app being a little temperamental. I chose not to have DRC due to the poor history and find the suspension is fine if a little jittery over rough surfaces. The first service was as expected and it is on the longer service schedule. No wear...

Re: Massage Seats On or Not?

I think that the seat side bolsters are air inflated and you can feel them inflate when the ignition is turned on and deflate after the ignition has been off for a while.

Re: B9.5 RS 4 Sounding a bit rough

Very hard to tell from video/audio but doesn't sound terrible. If it is stationary but with a gear selected it can hunt slightly sometimes. Sorry not a lot of help!

Re: Oil viscosity

Oil always seems to be an interesting issue! The RS5 and RSQ3 are different engines so Audi may have a good reason for recommending different specification oils. As for the RS5 stick to either Castrol EDGE Longlife II 0W-30 or Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0W-30 both VW504 spec and I believe both sold...

Re: Contemplating a new order

Hi and welcome to the forum :-) Discounts are hard to come by at the moment but if you are eligible you can get a good discount from Forces cars direct or from Griffon which you could use if you became a member of Boundless. Neither will give you the full sales experience (I didn't get a key ring!) ...
