What's up with the ZF 8 speed tiptronic Graeme?
Obviously you live with yours so have a better perspective.
In theory this should make the ZF even more appealing as a torque converter gearbox offers better refinement (smoother shifts) in traffic and when moving off from stationary.

Re: Are they as good as the reviews??
I don't own one and probably wont for many years but I do want to now having driven one extensively and didn't feel like that about an RS since the B7 (although that was to do with all the press/Clarkson hype and actually driving it wasn't as much of a revelation as this one). I didn't buy a B8 so I...

Re: UK video test of the B9 RS4 (ex-Gordon Shedden!)
Thanks Ian_C! I was definitely around there but not a 1815 as the car had to be back at MK by 1715 (you tend to remember these deadlines as it's so easy to go astray on timing if you don't). While the main bulk of the filming was around Silverstone/Stowe/Brackley/Buckingham, the very helpful Alex fr...

Re: UK video test of the B9 RS4 (ex-Gordon Shedden!)
good video. I have gone with Silver as I reckon everyone ( no offence) will go for the black trim. Just wanted something a bit different, on saying that I have gone for the non painted version as well which seems to be the most popular colour. Might end up wrapping all the silver carbon, see how it...

Re: UK video test of the B9 RS4 (ex-Gordon Shedden!)
Good review thanks for sharing i see there was no dynamic steering on the spec list if this is correct how did you find the steering feed back Yes indeed, I didn't think about the steering once during the day which was a good sign. I never thought the steering felt odd or unnatural which is quite u...

Re: UK video test of the B9 RS4 (ex-Gordon Shedden!)
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Black pack but not Carbon Edition sounds perfect, thanks for the heads up :beerchug: Yes as ever, spec can have a big influence and it's impossible to compare standard suspension with DRC back to back. All I can say was that the car as configured was a reve...

UK video test of the B9 RS4 (ex-Gordon Shedden!)
Hi, I'm an old B5/B7 RS4 owner and a contributor to Audi Driver magazine. Audi UK loaned me a B9 Audi RS4 on Wednesday and I made a detailed video which you might be interested in. I'm not a professional video maker, it's just a hobby but hopefully you will enjoy it. It's a hugely impressive car but...

Re: Help needed re oil level
Hi Andrew, hope you are well. Enjoyed the recent Sprint blue B7 review. Sadly can not help with your requests here as I've just sold my second B7. Still painful! Thought I'd say hello though, as it's been a while. All the best Marc Hello Marc, Great to hear from you. What have bought now? How did y...

Re: Help needed re oil level
Paul T you are a legend :beerchug: Thanks for going to this trouble and I appreciate you being so specific about where your dipstick was reading. The VCDS readings are uncanny as they are exactly the same as on my car. Wonder if it maxes out at a certain point and doesn't read higher than these figu...

Help needed re oil level
Forgive me if this sounds a bit odd but wondering if anyone can help with a couple of things?; 1 - The dipstick tube is mounted to the head with a bracket a few cm beneath where the tube goes in, could someone measure from up the upper edge of the bracket to the opening of the dipstick tube? 2 - (VC...

Re: Anyone AK61 AOT?
Just found the details sheet from when it was on sale at Wolverhampton Audi, ahhhh what a pity
It does now look a bit off to have the chrome bits but with a black grille - the listing says "black styling pack", definitely not right?
