    S4 Rocker Arm Bearings....a common fault or not?

    The rocker issue effects several cars in the VAG range including B9 RS4, S4, SQ5, Panemera, cayenne (basically 3.0 TDI) and 8V S3. For the RS4 engines made after May 2019 should have the new roller design with larger pins. Which isn’t new and was used in the RS6 engines

    Opinion on breaking

    Don’t take this the wrong way, I can’t see anyone spending money on RS engines and carbon discs with a member who has just joined. Who knows, I may be wrong.

    Opinion on breaking

    Why are you breaking these cars? I can’t see you making money unless you bought them very very cheap and they are cat B cars (crash damaged and can’t go back on the road). A 2013 in the UK is north of £35k and a 2020 would be above £60k.

    Parts Request

    Is the parts request system no longer supported? I can see a lot of recent posts in the thread, however no one appears to be answering them. Thanks in advance.

    MMI flashes

    Sounds like you have a parasitic drain. You will need to measure current draw on each fuse when the CAN bus is asleep. You can then home in on the faulty modules.

    B8.5 fog light bulb replacement

    I used Osram cool blue intense bulbs. Not LEDs but a great match for the xenons. I bought H7 and H8 bulbs and changed the turning light bulbs too. Don’t recall which bulb was for the fog lights.

    Converting symphony II antenna system use with RNSe

    Ah the photobucket curse kills yet another old forum thread. I’ll see if I have a copy of the images somewhere and try to edit the post.

    A4 Avant washer/wiper not working

    Try autodoc for the motor. As for the washer jet these get blocked. You can try cleaning with a pin or replace it. It just pulls off the washer pipe that runs inside the motor.

    Help Please ESP, Steering, Sport diff … faults after accidentally leaving Gateway un plugged

    Clear ALL the fault codes and see what comes back. Then post the FULL VCDS scan in here. Without this we are simply guessing at the root cause.

    Help Please ESP, Steering, Sport diff … faults after accidentally leaving Gateway un plugged

    Clear the fault codes and see what comes back. The codes may be related to an airbag fault if you fully unplugged the glovebox. Get a full VCDS scan and post it here so we can see what’s happening.

    A4 b8 rear heated seats retrofit

    But some time on Erwin for wiring diagrams or you could buy a loom from Kufatec and save a lot of time.

    B7 owner thinking of Japanese Import B8.5

    What’s the benefit of a Japan import? I don’t see why shipping a car half way round the earth and paying import duties makes this viable. Especially when the MMI won’t work.

    Rear seat swap, B8.5 avant to saloon - super sport seats

    I doubt it’s plug and play. There is a selection switch in the drivers door for seat memory and the seat controllers have component protection. Kufatec probably have a loom to help you.

    B7 owner thinking of Japanese Import B8.5

    If it has a TV tuner you will have to change the tuner and all 3 antenna modules. That’s if you want it to work.

    B7 owner thinking of Japanese Import B8.5

    You will run into issues with radio frequencies, MMI firmware, language and maps.

    Android Auto in B8 - Bavarian Automotive vs Integrated Automotive vs Other

    I finally got around to fitting this at the weekend. I’m rather impressed with it. The supplied radio keys are not the best and got stuck so took a while to remove them.

    Whats missing???

    It does have an aftermarket look about it. That doesn’t look like a typical connector that Audi would use. I’ll have a look in my boot later. Interesting that the frame next to the fuse block has been deformed. What’s the yellow part inside there?

    Hopefully fitting this afternoon if it doesn’t rain!

    RS Badges

    Quite liking the carbon bumper protection. May I ask where that came from?

    Some assistance with MMI required

    A lot of open circuit errors. I’d clear all the codes and work with the errors that return. CP is active on your climate control. Did you replace it?
