Re: Outdoor car cover recommendations

Hi Maars, The trouble with car covers is that the damage to the paintwork is almost unavoidable. This is because it is caused by the particules of dirt, dust and grime that's already on your paintwork. The action of putting the cover on and taking it off drags said dirt particules over the paintwork...

Re: Gearbox notchy?

No idea but in case this is any use to anyone I've had trouble getting into first gear. No other symptoms. Apparently the clutch is not worn (still original 70k) but not completely disengaging. therefore when trying to go into first gear, the gearbox is still moving and needs to stop fully before en...

Re: Forge oil cooler group buy???

Ive found somewhere in France that comes to around £800. My dad is going over there in March and could bring them back in his car. I speak fluent French so could also ask regarding a discount for several items.

Re: Forge Oil Cooler fitted

I would be interested to know what combination causes the issue. Because you can buy Audi replacement lines from LLL Parts and then get a radtec for around £700. But if the original lines will corrode with the radtec cooler it doesn’t make sense. Again, I’m assuming JHM lines also resolve the issue ...

Looking forward to many years of pleasure and spending way too much time on this forum. Of course I will also be asking the same questions everyone else does! Search is very useful however. 4 previous owners, 70,000 miles, full Audi history, Kw V1, center res delete, old man trim (which I love) pret...

Re: I would like ears on a Milltek….

Sounds like a wonderful couple of cars. The bi-turbo C63 is my second favourite sounding car. After the B7 of course. Mine is also full Audi history at 70k miles. I like my cars to be as heathy as possible so I basically need some more money. Lots more. I’ll get there. Enjoyed every second of the dr...

Re: ADVICE PLEASE, AND WHAT A SHOCKER AT MRC

Sorry to hear you’ve had a biggie bill. Surely they must of called you to approve the work before continuing with anything? I have refused to pay in situations like that before. They can’t just assume you will agree to continue or that you can afford it. If they did ask you for approval then I guess...

Re: I would like ears on a Milltek….

Thanks for the replies. I went to pick the car up today and got it on some ramps. The centre resonators have already been deleted! I love the sound as it is so no longer need to hear the Milltek! Thanks for the offer though Chinny. Seems this setup is a good middle ground which is perfect as the Mil...

Re: Oil Cooler pipes Part No.

Just looking for the part numbers of the oil cooler pipes from Audi before I ring them up? And how much usually are they? To go with my new Radtec cooler :beerchug: A lot seem to go for the Forge oil cooler. Yes it’s £1,000 but apparently still cheaper than Audi and longer lasting/better quality. T...

I would like ears on a Milltek….

Hi everyone, I’m getting super excited about picking my long dreamed B7 RS4 tomorrow!!! The car is (apparently) standard apart from the DRC being replaced. As much as I want to keep it as standard as possible, I suspect, strongly, that I will want to upgrade the exhaust. Ive done so on my mk5 R32 an...

Hi all, Looking to purchase soon and will want to do a pre-purchase inspection. If the car is fairly local, do you know any specialists who are knowledgeable about RS models into the south of England? I am near Salisbury/Southampton. I received a recommendation for a garage and called them up to ask...
