Re: RS Sports Exhaust Paint Flaking

My exhaust tail pipe tip was replaced within 2 weeks. When it went for service they noted it and ordered the part. The car went back for 2 days to have it replaced. Their body shop did the welding, looks perfect exactly like the other side which is factory welded.

To enable this: Ignition on Enter your code (2 flashes) Press accelerator pedal and keep it pressed Pull drivers window switch up 20 times. To return to norma...

Re: Instrument Cluster Software update...?

If it’s free, take it. There might be a minor glitch that you haven’t noticed yet? On the B9 there is/was a glitch with the camera setting not remembering your choice. It was only after someone else on the forum had the same issue and Audi updated the software to fix it, that made me take mine for a...

Re: 2018 TTRS to B9 RS4 - ride

I had a B8 S5 Sportback (pretty much an S4) for ten years prior to my B9 RS4 and I can tell you with 100% certainty that the B9 RS4 without DRC is much much harder than the B8 S5. So I think the DRC on the B9 RS4 must be a much more comfortable ride than without DRC. Pretty pointless statement and ...

Re: 2018 TTRS to B9 RS4 - ride

At the end of the day, I think you will be happy with whichever one you get. DRC is more tuneable from the MMI as far as I understand.

Re: 2018 TTRS to B9 RS4 - ride

Hi Mac, I have a 2018 B9 RS4 with DRC on 20” wheels and it’s absolutely fine. Commuting I use comfort mode, pressing on an A road I use Auto and Dynamic on smooth twisty stuff and roundabouts. The only issue with a DRC car is that you cannot fit a towbar, other than that I love it. It rides as well ...

Re: Flat key battery

Hi Danny. Replace it once per year approximately. Maybe your battery wasn’t 100% when new. No big deal, it gives you plenty of warning, I kept forgetting and finally replaced battery after 2 weeks

Yes, if you use the My Audi phone App, you can see your vehicle spec including the options such as DRC

Hi RWG. I guess your car doesn’t have DRC?

Re: Ouch

Hi all. I now have it confirmed by a tow bar fitting company that it is NOT possible to fit an aftermarket tow bar to a Audi B9 RS4 with DRC. It is physically not possible due to the DRC components locations behind the rear bumper. They have tried various manufacturers equipment and looked at possib...

Re: Interior Ambient Lighting

Hi. I was playing with VCDS the other day making some changes on other things and scrolling through the adaptations I seem to recall lots of LED or lighting stuff. I didn’t look or try to change anything that I wasn’t sure about, but if you are brave you can have a play yourself, just make a backup ...

Re: Interior Ambient Lighting

Hello. I saw your post a while ago and have been meaning to play around with the lighting to see if I could help. I’m not sure if what I am about to say will help, but it may confirm that your illumination is working the same as mine. So when the main lights are off, the illumination is off. When on...

Re: Ouch

Hi I still want to get a towbar fitted to my B9 RS4, however I have DRC. I only want to use a bike rack. My pondering question is if it is physically possible or do the DRC reservoirs prevent fitting? I don’t want the bumper removed to then be told it’s not possible. I can’t find any photos on the w...
