A request for Help!...

After being an RS4 owner for just shy of one year, I too was struck with Camshaft wear (late 2001, 70K and regularly serviced). This fortunately was diagnosed by MRC (see previous post http://www.rs246.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=77441 ) before it caused serious problems. As my car ...

Sorry if it's not clear, but I'll hopefully be getting the Cam, etc work done under the warranty that came with the car when purchased from the dealer. I may try my luck and see if I can get the clutch replaced as it's always been flagged as 'being heavy' every time it's been in.

Another happy MRC customer

After nearly a year of happy RS4 ownership and the Dealer warranty rapidly ending, I booked my car in with MRC for a health check, plugs and fuel filter change. Even though my booking was made at short notice, they happily made time and workshop space to accommodate me. Firstly a check with VAG-COM,...

Flat Spotted 'Hard' Wheel

As a relatively new RS4 owner (since May 2008), I would appreciate your wisdom on the following issue; Noticed a very slight vibrate through the steering at around 60 to 70 MPH and took it into the dealers (for reference Guildford Audi) knowing that it was probably deformed wheels after reading thro...

As a very new owner of an RS4, I too am looking for recommendations on the correct grade of oil to use. Audi UK state, along with the owners service booklet that the oil should meet VW 503.01 specification, the dealers are saying to use VW 504 (the new standard), etc..... I spoke to www.opieoils.co....

Many thanks everyone, I'm know a very proud owner of an Avus Silver RS4.

All I need to do now is sort out the braking (good, how poor are these), sort out the sagging suspension and give it some more low down torque.

Once again, thank you all for your comments and input.
