Thanks guys for the prompt replies !
That has really put my mind at rest - now i can spend the cash on something nice like the brake upgrade and perhaps more...

Guys Had my RS4 into the garage ( again ) and the mechanics continue to tell me my turbo's are needing replaced due to leaks inside the housing that can't be reached ? They have a couple of pics taken showing oil inside the pipe ( dont know which pipe it is as i am not that techy. I am obviously not...

Interesting point, although i have been so frustrated with tuners here that i have contemplated shipping the car back to Banbury for peace of mind ( then using it in greenock, somewhat closer to you than my current location )

Is it possible to avoid taking the engine out to replace the passenger side EGT sensor ?

Aha, thanks for the absolute point - I am going through a massive learning curve here from pretty much nil !

I am trying to get my local mechanic to look at the points you raised, thanks Nige.

Hi guys Having bought my RS4 a few months ago, in Hong Kong, i am increasingly troubled by the wear and tear of the car. The car is quite quick although seems to run out of steam at the top end, but does have a stuttering throughout the rev range. I bought VAGCOM and performed some logs. The fault s...

Hi Top Bear, i am actually orginally from greenock, but living for the past few years in hong kong ! I agree with you on the issue of it being interesting to have a better feel for RS4 stats for boost ( both requested and actual), since all my recent searches come up with S4's etc ! I have some worr...

Thanks for the EGT tip, which i will look into further ( as well as MAF, DV's, N75 etc !) This is my first turbo car and i am really starting to get very paranoid ... Anyway, i managed to log some blocks with VAGCOM which show boost is way down ( not getting above 1400 mbar on full throttle). 115 lo...

Hi Guys, Had a few frustrating months with my RS4 since purchasing it in the Spring, trying to get to the bottom of a full diagnostic check - so i did what any sensible person would do and got myself a Vagcom thingy :lol: I have found the following error codes today and the engine does seem to have ...

Excellent scripts - you can almost hear him saying these quotes with the pauses and effects. Brilliant !

I am planning to give myself a week or two to let the newness experience settle ( and the car) then get it off to Bem Ho's shop in HK to take a look at the brakes on it, plus a general healthcheck from a specialist point of view. Satrting to save me pennies now... Have to say i am starting to get us...

Cheers guys , thanks for the vote of confidence !

Got in touch with an experienced tuner in HK now, but the issue appears now to be that the RS6 caliper setup can make the back brakes and thus car unbalanced ( unlike my mind when driving this incredible turbo machine !) Does anyone have any probs with their set up after the front brake conversion -...

You could always move to Scotland , saf !

Now why didn't i think of that
I will get in touch with Doug right away...
Day one in the beast is sweet too - my son likes it better than the 993 !
Thanks guys
