Hello,
I have this fault and when trying to open the oil cap on the engine, I notice that the engine is sucking it closed, making it difficult to remove with a stationery running engine.

Any idea what the issue may be?

Thanks

Hi all, The engine in my RS$ B8 needs to come out to fix an oil leak, the seals of the camshaft carrier. When this happens I am considering also replacing the timing chain, tensioners etc. The car has done 224,000 km and has been well maintained. What other preventive maintenance actions should I co...

Thanks, will do the same, next week Tuesday to Audi. Will advise

Hi all, Question I have is as from which oil (or water?) temperature the radiator fan should still be working even after shutting down the engine? In the past I noticed that the fan would at times continue to run after stopping the engine but now it does not. The front sides (wheel fenders) get quit...

Hi all,

Anyone experience with faulty fuel injectors? What would be an appropriate interval for cleaning or replacing them?

Thanks!

Hi all, Maybe you have an idea for the following issue: Recently I have come across an engine which is difficult to start. It does crank, but the engine does not ignite. Only after a few turns it ignites, but a while back it did not ignite at all and the car was towed. The repair guys could not find...

Hi, I believe my car has never been cleaned for carbon deposits on the valve and inlet trajectory. It has now run 180,000+ km's Is it indeed high time to get the carbom removed? The car otherwise runs fine, but when buying it at 150k kms I may never have seen its original performance.... Thanks for ...

Hi,

Would anyone know if an auxiliary parking heating can be installed in an RS4 B8? I am a bit worried about starting a cold soaked engine and the wear that will give.

Thanks Kees

Hi, Am looking at exact the same: fitting winter tires. I looked up in the manual and that says 8.0J, 19 inch, ET26, 235/40 tyres. So a thinner tyre which is better on snow and smaller also in view of fitting snow chains (and required spacing between wheels and wheel wells). I am limiting my search ...

Activate lap timer... Could you please elaborate? I would need to purchase the diagnosis hardware, measure the time before the oil reaches a certain temperature and then have a timer show this to the driver?

Hello,
Am wondering about the following: by when is the engine warm enough to allow higher rev's?

The gauge on the dash shows the water temperature. There is no gauge for engine oil. Why not? Is water temperature a reliable enough indication for the engine oil temperature?

thanks...!

Hello, I need to fit a tow bar to my RS4 B8. Is there anyone with a tow bar installed with homologation? Also wondering: on the Westfalia tow hook website specifically the RS4 is not included. It mentions possible adjustments to the cooling system are necessary. Elsewhere I am reading about astonish...

Thanks both, indeed I now know now that standard is Xenon. Car is being repaired, mostly expensive replacement of bodyparts...

Hi,

Following a car accident I will replace both the head lights on a 2014/15 B8 RS4 Avant. Are there any other solutions available for the head lights, except the standard factory ones? I am thinking about installing Xenon or LED.

Many thanks Kees

Hi all, I am actively searching for a RS4 B8 and have come across a 140k km one. The owner told me that he experienced some issue with smoothness of gear shifiting and that the dealer upgraded the firmware. Problem solved. My question: is this a long term fix or will there actually be a costly hardw...
