Re: R32 to RS4... but B7 or B8?

B7 is rated higher as a drivers car and I think the prices of low mileage cars reflect that vs the newer B8. I am not totally sure about that ... both very very similar, the b8 has more hp but it is heavier and bigger, if you use well the manual box of the b7 I would say they are practically identi...

Probably the arms is broken. If you don’t have the flaps then Do a stage 2 MRC remap.

But the axis and the sensors are still there, I just removed the flappers, so I understand that I should not REMAP anything, right?

Re: ENGINE LIGHT

OKay, these are the code errors that have come out in VAGCOM. We have deleted the errors and have not gone out again in the dash, and the car works perfectly. The question is, can they come out again? System description: 4.2L V8 / 4V FSI ª Software Number: 8E1910560 Software version: 0080 Hardware N...

Re: ENGINE LIGHT

Today I was crusing alone (with my engine warning light on :( ) and suddenly, again, another warning light comes on, EPC this time. So, now I go with the two lights on, engine and EPC. The car works perfectly.


Is it a serious doctor?

THIS SOUND IS NORMAL?

Hello everyone, 2 months ago I bought an RS4 B7, and one thing that surprised me (negatively) was the strange hum that comes out of the engine when you rev it, it's like a Kompressor :( :( In this video clearly you can hear the sound what i mean (is not my car, but the sound is identical) The questi...

Re: ENGINE LIGHT

OKay, to 2 weeks ago i remove the center resonator (put instead a straight pipe) can this be reason of the lambda error? I think about it, but.. the lambdas are before the center section right? That should not bring out a CEL, you need to invest in a cheap obd scanner or get obd11 so you can share ...
