As per the title really, does anyone here know details on a technical service bulletin re: a clutch hose issue on the B7 RS4? ie. what the problem is, symptoms and solution etc

Plenty of threads about it a while ago - try this, or search forum for vacuum assist

panic over! They've put it down to the clutch pipe and they're replacing the clutch, flywheel and clutch pipe under warranty which is nice for the new buyer!

New buyer - how come?? You only just got it!

Only had it four weeks but I feel my passion is fading.

For those who dont know I work in car sales and finance but I deal with a hell of a lot of motors, from one extreme to the other. Everything from little peugeots and similar right through to 'raris, astons and similar.

At the moment I have £8k cash tied up in the car and with only being 21 I'm currently paying 400 a month on insurance (I know but I'm young!) and £400 on my finance plus I spent £600 in fuel this month.

I like the car its great but it just doesn't give me the buzz I was looking for to merit £1400 a month plus £8k equity plus servicing and tyres etc. Rather than getting in and enjoying it I get in and think "I could have a house for less than this" and it puts a downer on things so I'm looking to tone things down a little. I can afford to run it but by the time I've finished, that and normal day to day living I have very little left and it makes me feel ungrateful for my position in life. I could use that money to save for a house while I'm still at home with my dad. Over two years alone that's £41600 including my equity before tax, tyres and servicing so call it £44000. I could have a 2.0 TDi S-Line 170 A3 S tronic on the same year and it cost around £19000 including insurance, deposit, finance, fuel and maintenance for the two years.

£25k is a BIG deposit for a house in my area where I'd only need to be looking to pay £150k for a good first time buy. That £25k is purely savings from changing car alone nevermind any additional funds I save!!!!!

Fu(k me that must be the most reasoned post I have ever seen on this forum

Whatever you do... don't tally it up for your own cars or you'll all be driving oil burners! LMAO

It doesn't help that the RS although a nice car, isn't special to me because I see high end supercars regularly and the power and spec differences are overwhelming.

For example....



Kinda put a downer on the RS dont ya think? LMAO

and from one so young too.

get a mk1 golf with a 16v engine in or a 205 with a Mi16 in and enjoy cheap motoring with all the thrills of supercars, if not more. you just wont be able to impress the girls quite as much!!!
