I got these fake carbon bits as templates for a closer to OEM vinyl (which i haven't found yet). These 2 bits of grey plastic annoy me.

Oh and i finally got around to the rear badge.

Someone pm'd to query if i had the spacing between the S and the 4 right. As you'll know by this thread i am a tad OCD so i did quickly scale all the instances (other than engine badge) on my phone before i stuck it down. It's now exactly like the seats which i took as a reference as it would have been templated rather thsn applied by hand like the rear badge.

I know the S is not right.....

Good work.

I had the Sunroof TPI done on mine and the Tech wasn't happy that it cured my fault, so they then decided to fit a new panoramic sunroof frame which has now resolved the noise.

Could you enlighten me on this further, I have creeping happening that started with a whistle. Many thanks sir

Hi. There is a fault where the sunroof creaks while driving. They grease the runners and check the alignment as part of a fix but sometimes it doesn't remedy it and they fit a new frame.

Got the adaptation to make the car remember the gearbox and engine drive select state on start up working:

Before:

After:

It does effect the throttle map and exhaust valves not just the D/S box setting but a cold start will override the exhaust valves to closed and a cycle through the drive select modes in P or a shift into drive from P will be required to open them as per normal Dynamic settings

Cold start in dynamic with standard coding. Your options for opening the valves are a cycle through the modes or put it in Drive and then pull down to S. Note putting it back in D after this will revert the valves so the only way to make it stick is to cycle the modes:

Next up is the adjusted coding on a cold start in Dynamic. Again the valves shut because the cold start overides the dynamic setting but just putting it in drive opens them because it is in S from start not D. After this the drive select button works as normal to close and open them again:

Last up is a cold start followed by a warm start. The cold start valve operation is tested with the drive select button by a full cycle, it is shut down in dynamic then started again with no changes:

Hi all, i can't believe I'm typing this but my car is casually up for sale. I literally love this thing like my children but i have some major house development coming up and need to be sensible for a short period.

I'm not going to do an ad as i'm just seeing if there is any interest. The basic points are:

- 63 plate MY14
- 33k on clock
- FASH and still in approved warranty until end of August
- 5k to next service
- Really high spec (took me 3 months to find) with sports pack, pano roof, advanced key, 3G high+ with phone, memory seats and mirrors, black pack
- A1 condition
- subtle mods, carbon mirrors, black badges, choice of milltek resonated, unresonated or OEM sports exhaust, upgraded EM tuning lights (over £1k of work), rs6 rear caliper plates.

Based on audi approved RS4's currently for sale I'm competitively pricing it at 39k + 1k for mods - 1k for the audi warranty you would want to buy - £500 for half of the 38k service as I'm half way through the interval.

So yours for £38.5k
