Looks like I bought hi tensile steel bolts at 80mm

I seem to recall buying specific spec bolts to use that were non OEM - the details are all in my rebuild thread

I did this on mine about 2 years ago now, works really well

It’s not something daft like the washer fluid line split is it? Would account for variable amounts

This is the exact same solution as myself and Rum4mo have done, the guy started out by having the problem himself and then finding and selling the solution on Audizine. If the price had been reasonable I would have just bought it from him, but $140 vs £3 for the hardware and some time I went...

Makes sense

isn't the clutch fluid on the same circuit as the brakes?

This is correct, I think I might have a couple of spare controllers for pre-facelift cars.

for the record I am not changing my slave cylinder I am just changing the rod, has it fixed your issue?

I haven't actually it is still sat on my desk waiting for some warmer weather to get under the car and fit it.

...S4/RS4 carriers and existing calipers to fit the bigger rear disks. The B9 S4 front upgrade does three things, 1. Allows you to fit bigger discs, 2. Weighs less than the standard calipers* 3. Looks cool. * this is true for the B8 S4 calipers vs the B9 S4 calipers it may not be true for A4...

I have B9 S4 calipers on my B8 - when I was researching that upgrade at no point did I find ay suggestion that the carriers were a direct fit.

The B8 S4 rear brakes are the same as the RS4 and a direct fit, I've not seen anyone fit B9 rears.

can you not drill them out and re-tap the threads?

I've got some low temp "Alumiweld" rod to put in mine to basically do exactly what you are talking about for the same reasons, I did think about dropping a ball bearing or two in there as an alternative.

It only seems to be an issue with aftermarket clutches - mine is a sachs 15% uprated one. Don't forget that the clutch shares fluid with the braking system so if that has been changed (it should have been at some point in the cars lifespan) then the clutch fluid by default will have been done...

The most relevant question here is what will that cost?

There is a widely reported issue on audizine with aftermarket clutches on the b8 platform where the auto adjust mechanism doesn't work as well as a standard clutch leading to the push to start issue. I have the same issue at the moment when you really have to push the pedal into the floor to...

Looking at the pictures it would seem that the 3.0tdi and S4 DMF packs are not compatible - which is a shame.

My Son has a 2009 3.0 tdi Quattro manual just approaching 140k miles and it seems like the DMF is on the way out, in the garage I have the DMF from my 2011 S4 that was replaced for an upgraded item prior to remap with around 50k mile of use on it. I don't suppose anyone knows if they are cross...
