DSG Failure

Hello Everyone, It's been a long time since I last posted anything. But life kind of got in the way :-) anyway I come seeking advice. My story although crazy I hope to solve ASAP. I left the UK in 2011 and moved to South Africa......with my 2009 B8 S4. Had a B7 RS4 for a few years before that (never...

B8 S4 S Tronic - Sport Mode issues

Hello folks, I have a little bit of a question for everyone with S Tronic gearboxes in their B8 S4's. Prior to my latest service the gearbox started feeling odd during gear changes which was more evident whilst in sport mode. 1-2-3-4 all felt rubbish and getting smoother as it went up through the ge...

I can only echo the comments of alex, I think it is a very good package once you get over the fuel consumption niggles.

At the risk of going slightly off topic :-) I tend to drive enthusiastically most of the time. I would go as far to say that the two cars are very different. The RS4 had a greater sense of urgency as you gathered pace coupled with that amazing naturally aspirated V8 sound track. (I still miss it lik...

same here for me as well, I would go as far as to say the whole car feels a little rubbish at first when it's really cold. But after she warms up it feels like a completely different car.

What cars are RS4 B7 Owners moving to?

What cars are RS4 B7 Owners moving to? As a former RS4 owner not a single day has gone by without me wishing that I hadn’t sold my car. It’s been just over two years since I made that fatal mistake of selling, this can mainly be attributed to the fact that I was going to become a dad for the fir...

Initially I did not want to get involved, (I have sold my RS, one of the most depressing days of my life) So I’m not entirely sure if my comments would be welcomed, anyhow. Craigyb has done us all a great service, a quick poll would show that an enormous amount of people had their blue tooth option ...

I would demand new ones, it's the principal you had you wheels damaged while it was with the dealership. It won't really cost them anything, they have insurance to cover them.

RS4 - in the snow

Wasn’t it lovely to be an RS4 driver in the snow this morning, I actually had to remind myself not to get annoyed at the other drivers on the road this morning, clearly they don't have the superior drivetrain delivery and traction.
