Loving the update on the 'solved' knocking problem.

For those that haven't read it: 'they all so that sir' is the fix.

What a load of old <beep>.

They all do that Sir,

It is caused by the dampers fitted to the current RS4 & RS5 models and that they are supposed to sound and feel like that.

Was the response from Audi press office.

Why have Evo magazine not done a proper road test/review of the RS4 yet - or have I completely missed it?
