QST.

I've just paid £95 for brake fluid change on a Cayenne at a Porsche main dealer. I bet that uses a bit more fluid than a Mini and their labour rates are the cheapest.

I think you will find that Audi no longer carve the cars from a solid lump of granite like my wife's old A3 TDI.
The B5 RS4 was pretty tough for a quick vehicle too.

Has anybody come to a B8 S4 from a B5 RS4. I wondered how they compared in terms of straight line speed, general driving characteristics and fuel consumption. I used to have a B5 RS4 with an MTM remap, so about 420 bhp, which I found quite adequate. Looking at performance stats on the internet the s...

Bit of a lightweight reply in this company I fear, but I had 155mph on a sweeping bend and seeing off an Aston Martin Vantage on the M25 at night, which I was pretty impressed with at the time. Er sorry officer, I mean approximately 70 mph.

I bet Messrs Kristensen and Capello were impressed with Alan McNish's handwork.

B5 RS4 with MTM remap is quicker than V8 M3, especially along the Pembury by pass.

That's the one.

Reg R4 ***, seen around Maidstone lunchtime 16th March. Is that colour standard?

Having been fortunate enough to own two RS's at the same time (a B5 RS4 & a '73 Carrera RS) I would suggest keep the RS4 as a daily drive and get a cheap(ish) 911 of your choice for your wife to blast about in.

Remapped B5 it has to be then.

If you've only had to top up the fluid 2 or 3 times in three years it doesn't sound like a desperate leak, can't you do a job with liquid metal.
