New to Audi / RS4

Post by CRS4DXB » Mon Mar 15, 2021 11:50 am

Hello from Dubai,

I recently bought a 2015 B8.5 RS4. The previous owner has purchased and paid for the installation of a new sets of ECS front and rear discs and pads. Along with this, a 95,000km service was included in the sale price. I am currently at 88,000kms.

I have noticed a vibration coming through the steering wheel above 100km/h. It is being investigated while the brakes are being installed.

There has never been an DRC issues with the car or at least outlined in the full Audi services records I have the car.

It has been well looked after however I am expecting things to go wrong as it appears to off been a trouble free car to date.

What general/routine health checks can perform on the car? I understand most things but I am not very technical or at least less technical than most on here.

Any heads up would be great!

Welcome!
Car looks great btw. It would be worth checking that the wheels aren’t buckled and ask your tyre fitter to fine balance them if they have worn down already.
Hopefully no kerb damage.

Car looks lovely mate very nice
With regards to servicing I'd do your oil every 5k no matter what Audi say I'd also change transmission oil and dif oil both ATF and MTF sides every 20k you can leave it and do the transmission MTF side every 20k and the ATF every 40k inc the rear diff MTF/ATF side like Audi say but if you want to keep it sweet the 20k for everything and your reduce the chances of something going wrong !

Great looking car!


I would agree with above my first RS4 had a buckled wheel when I bought it, annoyingly didn't pick it up on the test drive as only showed up in a 5mph window around 80-85mph which I didn't hit for a sustained period on test drive.

Brakes would show up under braking only.
