As title says really. On my list from previous experience are.
1) take pressure gauge (my previous car had 50psi transport pressures still in).
2) good look around as youd expect
3) get top up oil
4) check for tmc on nav.
Are there any querky extras that come with car like rs4 pen or umbrella, keyring etc.
5) transport spacers removed.

Check the wheels haven't been damaged and refurbed, mine had 3 refurbed wheels and 1 second hand tyre!

If your picking it up from CRAWLEY then make sure you check the paintwork. When i picked mine up it was covered in cloth Lint from where they had buffed it, made it hard to see any scratches. Guess what, i washed it a few days later and i have a load of scratches on the boot and bumper. Dealer is denying knowing about them even though a couple of them have touch up paint over them.
Car was brand new.

I am picking mine up in the morning... just wanted to check are there any clever features that are activated/deactivated via Vag-com that I should ask about before leaving showroom?? assuming Autolock and light flash on alarm are standard nowadays... Anything else I should be asking for??

Cheers

Jason

Is that an option in Vag-com

Post by **Adam** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 4:32 pm

good point re vag.com

get them to put the RS4 welcome screen on the RNSE rather than the naff Audi MMI screen
get them to turn off the infuriating VAG central locking thing where you have to pres twice to open any door other than drivers
autolock was std on mine but I don;t like this either so will get that switched off too

I found that the alarm arm bleep was useful. Saved me having to walk back to the car and check it was locked.. especially as there are no knobs ontop of the door to check.

Yes a brand new car. Audi have just agreed to replace the wheels and tyres with all new ones. Can't fault them with that can I?
