My sister on a trip to Birmingham must have been sick about 5 times in the Audi. She did not like it ... I think that with the suspension being firm, massive acceleration and instantaneous stopping power, it must feel like a fun-fair ride in the back seat!

I get it in both wet and dry. I am off to the dealer to have it checked out ... Hopefully they can resolve the issue. I am the second owner of the car but it had only done 4500 when I got it so this shouldn't really be a problem. I do not thrash the car either, so no reason for these issues. Great c...

RE: knocking noise when turning.

Hi, I just posted a similar message on my RS4 Saloon. It's driving me insane. Check my post updated today under Saint. One forum member suggests checking the knuckle carrier!

Thanks for the heads up. I'll ask the dealer to check the knuckle carrier. The last time, I printed the advice from this forum and the dealer got it right first time. Hopefully this will be the case again.

Strange click noise when turning steering wheel

Hi Guys, I must be becoming paranoid after a couple of issues that I have had with my car so far. Just recently, I noticed that as I turn the steering wheel (even when the car is stationary) I get a click noise. On a full lock cycle, there are about 2 of these clicks sounding. It's got me a little w...

RE: Re: RE: Clutch Vacuum Line

Guys, took it to the dealer and confirmed that this was the problem. They have sorted it out under warranty and it drives fantastic again. I printed out this thread and left it in the car just so that they were clear on what to do.

Thanks for your help!!!!

Much appreciated.

RE: Re: RE: Clutch Vacuum Line

Guys, thanks for the heads up. You've got me worried now. Must get on to the dealer asap. I have tried this test previously and it consistently happens.

RE: Heavy Clutch on quick change?

No, not necessarily ... it happens on any gear change. What seems to trigger it is how hard and how fast you depress the clutch. The faster and harder you do it, then harder it becomes ...

Heavy Clutch on quick change?

Hi Guys, Been meaning to ask the dealer about this but just not had any time recently. My car went in for the TMC and at the same time, they upgraded my car software. I am not sure if this caused the problem or the problem was there before, but when I am in quick change mode and tramp down on the cl...

Thanks for the advice. Duncan, I have the 8707v BlackBerry. I have tried sync'ing it up with the car but the menu option to entering a pairing key is greyed out (so I cannot access it). Very frustrating! I bought my car second-hand and the previous owner had spec'ed the car with the GSM preparation ...

Audio Installer recommendation & BlackBerry Integration

Hi Guys, I have the B7 RS4 Saloon in Phantom Black. Fantastic vehicle and I love it. Looking at the rest of the threads on this forum, I am not alone. I have been most disappointed with the entertainment options. My car has the GSM kit but for the life of me, I cannot get my BlackBerry to sync up wi...

Alpine Vehicle Hub (IPOD, TV integration)

Has anyone ever had experience of fitting an Alpine Vehicle hub to an Audi RS4 B7? Have been speaking with Sextons about the poor integration of the IPOD and wanting to get more comprehensive IPOD features and they suggested that I install the Hub and then hook up the IPOD. Apparently, you can later...

OK, you now have my interest too. How did you manage that? You wouldn't be a well known celebrity who gets a slightly larger "goodie" bag than most, would you? :wink:

Quick update on the wheels. Wicked Wheels in High Wycombe did a refurb on the wheels and they look fantastic again. It took a day and you can barely tell that they have ever been done. They look almost original. Thanks for the advice!

Interested in the RS4 alloys. Is this a B7 set?
