MikeFish's RS4 Saloon for sale
Posted: Thu Oct 05, 2017 8:44 pm
So, I've been talking about it for ages but now it has finally happened; my much loved RS4 is up for sale.
Much of the history of this car is recorded in my build thread; link in my signature. Unfortunately, due to Photoshop being a bunch or ***** most of the photos don't show up anymore, but I think if you click on them they might still work.
Even though I don't believe in it, I had it carbon cleaned by MRC. It recorded 438ps / 482NM, and it won't stay like this but it was literally driven from MRC to my house then to the car dealers so has only done 150 miles since being cleaned; just for you! Many cars being sold with carbon cleans carried out a year or 2 ago which is pretty much the same as never being done.
Here's the details:

New oil separator / breather cyclone and seal conditioner MRC April 2017 72406m (due to smoky exhaust)

New central vent (dash) replaced as paint had a flake missing (like that when I bought it)
New Tool Box and no missing tools
Boot lid struts replaced as it was a little slow to open

Pads were OK but I changed front and rear anyway ready for sale
Front discs changed on 03/07/12 at 46828m
Front disc thickness 33.4mm (range is 34-32mm so plenty of life left in them)
Rear discs changed at 65,000
Rear discs thickness 21.3mm (range is 22-20.4 so again plenty of life left)
The bad
I don’t know if the exhaust valves work. They previously worked when last used but as I have them disconnected they probably need a little help to free up if you want them working again
Slight smoke from exhaust when cold due to no precats and no secondary air injection. Not a fault. Well documented issue on RS246 forum.
Annoyingly, the bottom steering wheel cover has a scratch after replacing for a new one just for a new badge.
Exhaust flexis are damaged, common problem on the RS4, especially lowered ones. I asked MRC to check and replace if required recently when it was in for a health check and they didn't think there was any need to replace them.
Also included;
Carbon interior trim in excellent condition
Original rear lights in excellent condition
Original air box and filter, unknown if it still works or how new the filter is
Something like 5 sets various of logo'd car mats as well as the set in the car which includes a logo'd boot liner.
I have put the car up for 'sale or return' as I don't have the time to or inclination for test drives etc.
