Noise from DRC Audi RS4 2020 car on 12,600 mileage. Dynamic Ride Control failed actuator or shock? Yes, that’s the kind of noise I heard from mine too. From what my dealership who fixed my 2021 B9.5 told me, fixing DRC accumulators requires a dediated hydraulic device, which is only rent out to the...

From what AMG have done to their 2.2tonne C63S E and BMW M to their new 2.5tonne M5, I’m guessing RS5 Avant won’t be lighter than 2tonne. Quite possibly as heavy as C63S E.

Weight distribution will improve due to battery(or a capacitor?) and motor integrated diff at the back, though.

Congrats on your new car. Audi dropped the physical water temp gauge from B9.5. They kept the digital oil temp just like in the pic Jools uploaded (in the left bottom corner of the screen) but you only see it when the car is in RS1/RS2 or dynamic mode with the hockey stick tacho on (by changing the ...

The price tag… I thought G80 M4 CS was a bit overpriced for what it is but this is no bargain either.

I feel for your situation and the frustration you're going through with your car and the previous dealer. Mine had the same issue (MY2020, one faulty dumper followed by leaky DRC valves) last year, had it fixed under warranty. The car's been fine since, but when the issue comes back after my warrant...

Hi there. I’ll chime in first with a maybe not so well known one in the rest of the world, GruppeM intake system. https://jp.gruppemdirect.com/en-eu/products/fri-0227_156 Price and configuration is somewhat similar to Eventuri. You can see what it actually looks like in another thread here: https://...

The exhaust pipes moving inboard feels a bit weird. The car in the photo has 2 exhausts on the left and one on the right so I don't think it's the finished deisgn. Good point. The two silencer boxes for the 2.9L V6 on the current RS4 are quite big, and I wonder how Audi’s going to accommodate them ...

Congrats and enjoy!

I use Audi's genuine leather care kit 4L1096372 regularly to keep the seat covers clean. Not cheap but they're super easy to use and help keep the covers' matte texture really nicely.
I've tried other stuff but all of them left streaks and slightly oily sheen after wiping.

Came across this article today. https://www.carscoops.com/2024/01/2026-audi-rs5-avant-phev-sticks-it-to-the-amg-c63-by-sticking-with-v6-power/ Not much, but for now we can at least expect the next gen Audi mid-compact RS Avant will still look sleek without a monstrous grille. But for 600+BHP and ove...

I've been through this and I'd definitely look for any unusual rattles and creaks from around wheel arches. When you detect something, there could be issues with dampers and/or arm bushings. Also, check that nothing is stored underneath the boot tray (where the battery sits) before taking the car ou...

Daytona Grey B.9.5
Can't go wrong with this classic colour!

Semi conductor shortage and inflation situation perhaps? I heard Audi started skimping on options like electronically adjustable front seats on lower end models as well. Now it's coming to halo products like RS4 that are approaching the end of production too, I'd imagine. New cars without popular op...

I'm located in Japan and as many parts of my country see tremendous amount of snow and anti freeze on the road, people in those areas spray anti corrosion stuff (like Noxudol). But the stuff has its downsides I hear, like some of them don't completely cure and end up collecting matter on the panels ...

It was an easy fix on mine, let’s hope it is on yours too!

If it involves rattles or creaks on the wheels you might want to remove the wheels and check for damper damages. When one blew up on my car it started with worsening ride quality, followed by rattles and creaks. If your car has DRC, listen carefully if there is any noises from the boot. When the val...
