Hi guys, I'm in the process of buying an 0606 RS4. I asked the dealer for a copy of everything that's every been fitted or done to the car and he said he couldn't provide it. Is there anyone here that can get hold of info if I give them the registration? Someone that works for Audi?

Any help would be great.

Cheers

Go into an audi dealer and give them the reg or VIN - service department should be confirm if it's been serviced correctly.

Parts department will be able to let you know what options the car had.

Cheers I'll give Manchester Audi a call later today.

I was in the same boat last month - its mainly to do with the fact that you are not the registered keeper - I sweet talked several local dealers before I bought mine (privately) and asked for as much info as possible as i would potentially be an Audi owner using their service dept etc etc... some may tell you more than others, but as long as all the collated info matches - then alls good.. (I actually called several dealers to compare service prices etc etc and enquire about DRC cover - in the same call i reeled off the reg of my car (to be) and asked if I could be cheeky and get some info on that one specifically. - i then knocked it into a small spreadsheet comparing costs per dealer... - speaking of which tax and service is due! DOH

if the car you are looking at is at a dealers - then the above shouldnt count and all info and history should be freely accessible if you were a potential buyer....

I tried this with our RS4 B5... got a few dealers to play ball, BUT its coded so unless you have an Audi Enigma machine it will make absolutely no sense what so ever.

It looks like a paint code, a number ( dealer number) and a number that coresponds to what service the car was given. it doesnt say in laymans terms WHAT WAS DONE, by who and why!! at least you can get a reasonably accurate mileage though

they should be able to tell you of any warranty work history if you turn the charm up to number 11..

a few were more helpful than others (or more knowledgeable!!) and able to translate the coded world that is Audi.

worth picking up the blower tho

A few more questions and I ended up getting all the info I needed. Including confirmation that it's had no DRC issues. Happy therefore given they've just put a complete new set of brakes on it too.

Going to pop back in a few days and pick it up. Can't wait.

good stuff dude - you will luuuuurv it!

welcome to the fold chap

Can't wait. Within 24 hours I'll be ragging it back up the M6! May all those lesser cars make way!

careful of Mr Plod

speaking of which - an unmarked 08 Reg grey 5 door Mk5 R32 is on the prowl, M42 area! dont take the bait! look out for the blue LEDs glued to the bumpers

enjoy your V8 chap

Cheers Chew. I'll keep that in mind. I wouldn't be taking the bait from an R32 anyway. It's so much a foregone conclusion who's quicker that it wouldn't be worth burning the gas to prove something we both already knew! It'd been to be 911, F-somethingorother to get me interested. And I doubt Mr Plod has unmarked those!

Are the plod allowed to do that? i.e. try and induce you into a race just to pull you over and book you? Seems a bit underhanded to me!

Might stick to the scenic route through Derbyshire!
