Info on the Audi RS4 (B7)
« on: August 03, 2011, 01:25:00 pm »
Hi,

I wondered if anyone on here has previously or does run a B7 RS4 saloon, and had any useful info about owning / driving / running / modifying it?

Thanks

Moding is not impossible but to get decent results takes a lot of money, not owned one but my mate has had both B5 and B7 and has also had the avante, saloon and cabrio so I could ask if you need any knowledge,

Coil packs are prone to going, also look on RS246.com really good website.

Coil packs - they never go on a Mk5!!!  :wink:

I had an 07 avant back in 2008/09. Did 7000 miles in 6 months, well my wife did most the miles running the kids around. 16mpg!! Brakes cost a fortune. It needs a Milltek, as it sounds amazing. Other than that one of the most amazing capable cars I've owned, very hard to find the limits, as it just goes and sticks.....

I'd have another one tomorrow, my mates just got one and I took it out the other night -just amazing.

A guy we do some work for owned one prior to a GTR and the 997 GT3 he currently drives. He still rates it highly preferring it to the GTR (which he only ended up owning for 6 months). Indeed the opinion from most of the motoring press is that it is the best RS car they've made, at odds with the car it was based on. And I could certainly take being beaten in a straight-line by a hot hatch if the pay off was driver involvement and character.

I had a b7 S4 convertible same 4.2 V8 without the turbos

Take a look at DMS Autos (totton) near Southampton they have done a lot of research on the RS4

The rs4 b7 doesn't have any turbos either.

Dms are brilliant, but I don't think theyll be able to do much with the rs4 tbh as its normally aspirated.

I have a B5 RS4 Avant and use www.Audisrs.com there is loads of good info on there.
As mentioned above, poor fuel consumption, coil packs, suspension failing, expensive disc and pad replacement etc etc.

RS's in general they're quite expensive to run everyday but well worth it IMHO!  :driver:

Sorry I thought they did

Did I get mixed up with the b5 that had twin turbos?
