Re: Problems with the Electronically Controlled Damping system on RS6, C6

All you need is in the picture below.
When buying a used one make sure the part number is exactly the same.
If I remember correctly a new one was £650+!
Good luck

Re: Bill 17 hours to replace control arms

Hi, I have done a few A4, S4, A6 and RS6 front suspension changes as a DIYer. It takes about 3 hours per side IF the pinch bolts come out. If they don't move and you do not have any of the expensive tools to attempt removal then I had to cut the upper arms and get the upright out. Then you have to w...

Re: Help needed to resolve a leaking clutch slave to metal pipe joint.

Just to close this one off. There is quite a lot of info out there on the 3 types of coupling the various VW/Audi models use. Mine just used the rubber nipple in the kit. The rubber used in the kit from Audi is quite hard and it can be difficult to push the fitting home. Aftermarket equivalents are ...

Re: WANTED REAR COIL SPRING(s)

There are some used singles and pairs on ebay. Give it a try.
I just got a good used set of 4 RS4 standard springs off there.
Good luck.

Re: Help needed to resolve a leaking clutch slave to metal pipe joint.

I have resolved the pipe connection problem now. But now I am having a real issue replacing the slave cylinder while the gearbox is still on the car. I have followed the Elsawin guide for replacing the slave cylinder but cannot get the slave to fit into position. Anyone had similar problems or hints...

Re: WANTED wheel for 2002 S4, B6

Hi Ian, A message to close this one off. The wheel has arrived and is exactly what I wanted. It is tidy enough to use as a spare with no bad scratches, dings or kerb rash. The tyre has never been on the road and there is no sign of rubber degradation, probably because it has spent all the time in th...

Re: WANTED wheel for 2002 S4, B6

Hi again, Yes I bought the wheel off Ebay. The seller didn't want to organise shipping so I sorted that out. I was surprised how many couriers said they would not transport wheels and tyres. In the end I used Parcel Hero who organised the pick up and also provided labels on collection. The wheel is ...

Help needed to resolve a leaking clutch slave to metal pipe joint.

It is a long story but I bought my RS4 just after the clutch had been replaced, I think by a local non Audi specialist garage. Whoever did the clutch did not do a good job. The slave is a plastic one and is supposedly new. The joint between the slave and the metal pipe going into it was leaking quit...

Re: WANTED wheel for 2002 S4, B6

Hi Ian, Well spotted! I had seen the advert marked as a 17 inch wheel but now I look more closely at the pictures it is marked as a 18x8j ET45 which is the correct wheel for the B6 S4. I have contacted the seller to confirm the picture is of the wheel he is selling. He looks like a genuine seller by...

Re: Vacuum leak

It is worth reading SSP 377 before trying to diagnose issues.
This gives all the details of the vacuum system on the RS4 engine and how it operates.
It may save you a lot of time.

Re: Fresh Paint and Stage 2 from MRC

Hi again, Thanks for the reply. Those part numbers will be useful in the future. My car needs a lot of work to bring it back to anything like decent operation so sorting the suspension is a few months away yet. Like all RS's they do not survive well when neglected but sorting them out is part of the...

Re: Fresh Paint and Stage 2 from MRC

Hi, I am interested in what you feel about the Koni Sport dampers. Were they supplied by CRSperformance? Did you use the original springs on the car or buy new standard height ones? If you bought new ones who was the manufacturer and supplier? My recently bought B7 RS4 (same colour as yours) has a c...

Ok, thanks for the reply.
It would not be cost effective for me to import used parts from Canada. Thank you for the offer.

Re: WANTED wheel for 2002 S4, B6

Hi,
I only do cash on collection due to past scams.
So let me know where you are located.
I require just one used wheel but will buy more than one if required.
Thanks.
