Greeting from Northern Ireland

Post by ronan4b » Tue Mar 26, 2013 8:23 pm

New to the forum - although already picked up a lot of really helpful tips from you lot. Thanks!

Wanted to share my 07 Sprint Blue Beast. Brought it a month before Christmas and have left in love with it. Previous cars have been jap turbo cars, Evos etc. They don't compare to the V8 power in this!

Will be heading down to torquetronix when I get back for the usual milltek and remap!

Welcome Ronan, you have the best colour too. I sold mine 6 weeks ago, after 3 years of ownership. It was a fantastic car. Still haven't decided what to replace it with.

Welcome along - lovely car.

Have been lurking a while here as well after purchasing a white RS4 in Dublin recently. Any recommendations for service etc. North or South ?

Cargav,

I use Terry McEvoy (Carryduff, near belfast) for all my work. Reputation precedes him as the go to guy fornall things VAG, and not hard to pay, unlike Belfast Audi!!

Bit of a trek for ya though!

Cargav,

Had my car serviced there about six weeks at Audi Belfast. Although the work was spot on, the customer service was very average to say the least. As Oscar433 said they were very expensive but I suppose that is the price you pay for the important Audi stamp!

But for any major work needing done, I will prob head to Torquetronix in Kells (outside Ballymeana) not a VAG specialist but very knowledge when it comes to high performance cars.

Would interested getting a RS4 meet set up over the summer for spirited drive!!

Ai Autosport does mine, has looked after all my cars previously. Going in for a carbon clean with him next month. A meet would be good know a couple more guys who have them across here.

Cheers for the recommendations gents - have regularly had to travel to get the right service on my previous cars so a trip up the motorway wouldn't be an problem. I have no problems with using the regular dealers for straightforward services but I'd prefer to have some more specialist support for the inevitable issues.

Would definitely be interested in a meet if one is organised,,..

Hello - another one here from NI too, I have a Sprint Blue Avant.

As for recommendations for servicing, if you don't want to use Audi, I would recommend JW Service Centre in Coleraine. The owners are both ex VAG Master Technicians and know these cars very well, they look after a few B7 RS4's and some RS6's etc.
