You have all this information yourself, it is in your service manual and in the boot of the car. Two identical stickers with all the build options included when it leaves the factory. It doesn't...

It seems you would really need someone with a similar spec car to yours to get any confidence. I have a Touareg with all the options and there are some buttons that do not seem to even be in the...

Seconded.

Personally yes. The RS already has a huge offset with the OE wheels and adding another 10mm to it is a big ask for a 20+ year old car. Mine are flush enough that any more would just pepper the side...

That works but shipping is still expensive just for the covers and neither you nor the upholsterer work for peanuts. Oz is one of the most expensive places in the world to get things done. Result of...

Thats literally about it but the owners of the stuff in the container would want to know you personally I would think. Seats stuffed full of happy dust would ruin their day when the container finally...

Are these for the OEM wheels?

I did say working on their own car, thinking something a bit special rather than the runabout. There was a time when many mechanics were car mad and tinkered away in their own time for their own...

Nah, no offence. Chat needs to be light and fluffy. We used to have rules when away for a long time, no talk about Religion, Politics or Women. The days before Forums but even then, the Holden / Ford...

Alister, I have ELSAWIN and my experience is that many basic steps are omitted from most procedures I have needed to access as VAG intended the software for factory trained mechanics. Maybe we should...

Which is every licensed mechanic ever.
I don't know of even 1 mechanic who torques EVERY nut and bolt.[/QUOTE]


A different response which you no doubt know, time is money. People just aren't...

Yes, the address of every service centre in Australia (at the time the car was sold new) is provided. They didn't get to the point of whether I should walk or catch a taxi or book a tow.
No issues...

Attention to detail would show I didn't say that, although every time you tighten a...

If you want to be a "Professional" mechanic then you will need to successfully complete the current course of training, no matter what your background.

If you want to improve your own skills,...

Mate, don't get confused by the science. You wouldn't top up your red if it was already full to the brim. Either get a battery monitor (the lazy way) or check the voltage with a meter, when it gets...

Same problem with the RS6. The Alarm battery is a real killer once it goes. There are plenty of culprits to choose from and if you use a sparky, labour costs will kill you just tracking down the...

Had a keyboard like that for years. A few years ago I moved on to the Kinesis and it is one of those things that once done and adapted, you find it so great that you are lost without it. Clicky keys...

Nope, I use Linux on some machines and will eventually drop all windows machines in favour. Old apple was great, a bit of the hippie culture approach, but new Apple is as greedy, controlling and...

An alternative is to use the Ctek fitting that is installed in the trim. Just pop the boot and plug in the MXS 10. I have a couple of these fittings for the RS6 and Touareg where the batteries are...

If it is anything like my cars, the more exotic the spec, the quicker the battery drains. My A4 will sit for months without dropping below 60% whereas the RS4 is less and the RS6 less again. I have a...

I must be disadvantaged, no Omega Speedmaster (Mk1) and my computer is a real baby, ASUS PN51, with a 28" Tuf gaming monitor and a Kinesis keyboard. Covert in a word. Luke gtr struck gold with the...

Hi Pickles, hope you are talking about the 1969 version and not those marketing exercises Omega has pushed out ever since on the coat tails of the original. Sadly, I don't have one of those but the...

Welcome, another member over the hill. Maybe this defines the older audi owners. At this stage of life, your thread will define your position in the universe. Hopefully you will be able to identify...

Anything is possible but comparing a $45,000 car with a $200,000 car and the variances of their buyer attitudes to road safety etc is a long shot in any language. I am but a humble consumer of the...

Not really. When there are maybe 27 RS6 and 40 odd RS4, there aren't a lot to be involved in enough accidents to be statistically relevant. They appeal to different demographics as well. A lot of...
