    B8 B8 RS4 gearbox issue

    Thanks, sorted it out in the end. Turns out it was a few defective solenoid valves in the DL501 that caused the issue. After a rebuild kit replacing the solenoid valves everything went fine. Excuse my desperate tone in previous post as I had so many breakdowns/problems before due to a...

    B8 B8 RS4 gearbox issue

    So I got a warning msg today, saying “gearbox malfunction”. The car continued to run fine, however, at idle, I noticed the idling RPM to be slightly higher, at 1,000 instead of the usual 800 rpm. It felt like the clutch was not engaging fully. This was after I swapped out a completely new...

    B8 tracking issue

    Buddy, think ur not reading my msg clearly. Point isn’t stock or not stock, point is your suspension might be missing a washer, thus causing your misalignment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    B8 tracking issue

    Check your coilovers, I had the same problem as you. When I swapped my stock coilovers out for some PSS10, my mechanic noticed a particular washer missing from the stock, that needs to be transferred over to the new PSS10s. After installing the PSS10 coilovers with the washer replaced, no more...

    034 x-brace review

    Just installed mine today, and my oh my, I cannot agree with you more. I was equally excited as you to install this, and everything you mentioned, all the pros, I can attest to. The car feels nimble now, especially with a hulking V8 (B8.5 RS4). Think the difference is even bigger for me than you...

    034 x-brace review

    Not sure if you are still checking this thread, but you might want to check the 034 website again. The price dropped to USD400, I snapped it up after seeing the stock drop by one. USD400 is well worth a price I would pay for a nice of aluminum. ESP as my car is heavy and can do with the...

    New member - looking to get into rs4 b8

    welcome lewie... owned the B8 RS4 Sepang blue for 7 years so here's what you need to watch out for: - Understeers at high speeds; add a strut brace to fix that (i can go on for a long mod list, you can DM me for more in depth discussion) - S-Tronic gearbox is the weakest link; the mechtronic...

    B8 Gearbox overheating, adapt driving style

    After re-reading your post I noticed you said you did 140K miles. You should take this opportunity to swap out the clutch plate as well, I replaced this and it helped. This S-tronic gearbox is quite fragile so I advise some caution and regular care I.e. try not to downshift from 2nd to 1st...

    B8 Gearbox overheating, adapt driving style

    My mileage was around 70K Km, which is around 45K miles. But roads are short in HK and so for a more apple to apple comparison, the more informative fact would be I have owned this car since 2013 and it has been a daily drive. The price for the mechtronic is approximately 2500gbp in HK (ex VAT)...

    B8 rs4 19s vs 20s

    Stick with 20’s, they are worth it. They look that much better As for potholes, I live in Hong Kong so I sympathize when u talk about UK’s pothole-laden B-roads; if u are in the market for improving your handling as well as solving this pothole issue, best way is to install a strut brace, swap...

    B8 Gearbox overheating, adapt driving style

    You need to replace the gearbox mechtronic I had same exact issue and a subpar substitute, China-made unit (based in HK so some garages source their parts from China) was installed at first, caused me 3 breakdowns and tows. After ordering the replacement mechtronic unit from Germany and...
