Lets face it, the busiest part of this forum is the S3/RS3 section. Those cars are everywhere!

If you read his post he doesnt want the DVD interrupted by having to switch the engine off and then switching the ignition back on. My solution avoids this and protects the battery.

Just put it in Park (or neutral with the parking brake on) and let the engine automatically shut itself off via the automatic start/stop system.

All your dealer parts department and give them the registration number of an RS4 off Autotrader and they’ll get the part number for you.

I’ve done it for the MMI and VC. The firmware is available to download online (don’t ask me where or for links.) It’s a simple transfer to SD job and the. Plug in and go. in truth unless you’re suffering from stability issues there is very little point in doing it. The changes are minuscule...

The reviews are based on Audi trying to change the narrative by repositioning what the S4 is supposed to be. Which they are doing out of necessity with new EU rules being imposed upon them, not because they came up with this magical idea themselves. They did the same with the RS5 - knowing...

The current S4 isn’t better than the petrol one. They only swapped out the engine in Europe to meet fleet emissions targets. That’s why the yanks still get the petrol

It's utter nonsense because the two cars (especially with S4 now having a diesel engine) could not be more different. Even when the S4 had a petrol engine it was a different engine to the RS4. The RS4 shared the same block but had 100cc less displacement and an extra turbo. Add in things like...

My thoughts on this is that it’s utter nonsense.

Is @WarwickBoy a social media marketer for Autotrader? Because why else would you post such utter nonsense? “Don’t like that the RS3 because it’s not big enough?? Problem solved just ***** up double the price for an RSQ8!”

lol! There’s no difference between adding a spacer or the wheel having extra material to produce a more aggressive offset. The stress produced by increasing the track width from the hub is the same.

You're back-peddling now: "Spacers are just SO wrong and you should remove them anyway." That was your over-arching statement followed by alamrist comments about punctures etc. How do you know his car hasn't been set up as well?

Absolute nonsense. Your making broad assumptions purely on the argument of scrub radius. My car is running 10mm spacers and wider wheels. It’s been lowered on KW Variant 3 coilovers and has been set up by a suspension specialist that well respected in the motorsport sector, setting up track...

Alarmist nonsense. A 20mm overall increase in track width won’t make his car spontaneously combust. You know nothing about his tyre, wheel, suspension configuration or how his geometry has been set up. The effects you describe are negligible in real world driving conditions.

The old tuned vs stock argument. Hardly a fair comparison and RS/AMG/M models aren’t just about straight line speed....

well it’s a face lifted B8 and has nothing in common with the B9 at all so would say that the B8 forum is the place for it.

Totally fine in my car. Have you tried using Bluetooth with the normal MMI interface instead of CarPlay to see if it makes a difference? The issue may be with the Mic in your car rather than CarPlay or the phone connection to the car.

Yas but you still need to screw the mounting plate into the grill. I cut my mounting plate down so that it's just a flat pad smaller than my number plate and then I just used double-sided mounting tape from there. Handy as my plate is shorter than the mounting plate and means I've no ugly...

There's a number of factors involved in this rather than it simply being down to that particular engine to be honest. The 2.9 RS4/RS5 engine, developed by Porsche, is a reworked version of the 3.0 petrol unit found in the S4/S5 and was already WLTP compliant at launch. Manufacturers have...

No they haven’t. They couldn’t get the petrol engine to pass new emissions tests and so had to swap it out for a diesel or develop a new engine - not something they’d do with electric firmly into their radar. This is why it’s only the European versions that are getting diesel and the rest of...
