voor de laatste keer, vertrouw de filmpjes van M5Board gewoon niet
eeuwige 'strijd' tussen RS6.com en M5board, en telkens komen daar zo'n "verassingen" boven
Oil nicely warmed, nail it in third from low revs and the RS4 lunges forward hard, which is exciting enough, but most people have no idea that there's a second, more stunning shove to come. At around 6000rpm, just when it should all be winding down, the V8 kicks again and fizzes to the redline. It's awe-inspiring.
hmmm blijkbaar is die gasklepstuff toch nog leuk, een beetje turbo of VTEC effect
Two additional items were on the job list: the parking sensor squawked every time reverse was selected (traced to the front numberplate coming unstuck at either end and getting in range of the sensors), and the engine was a little lumpy from cold and would very occasionally lapse into a slight misfire after a foray to the limiter. On cue, the misfire appeared for the technician in the passenger seat. The solution was a new engine ECU map, and this would take a couple of days to come from Germany. The bill came to a reasonable £319, the additional work carried out under warranty. Well-worn front brake pads were flagged up, and as the misfire was so rare I told the dealership I’d wait until the pad warning light came on and get the two jobs done together.
The occasional misfire had never occurred again, the engine’s oil consumption had settled to an acceptable litre every 4500 miles or so, and the lumpy cold running was about to be cured, too.
An RS4-owning reader had tipped me off that an ECU upgrade was installed as a matter of course whenever an early car was presented for service, so I called Peterborough Audi and they confirmed the upgrade was available, free of charge. I booked the RS4 in. And the brake pads? Perhaps they’d been over-cautious, reckoning they wouldn’t make the next service (it had been to the ’Ring, remember). Whatever, 10,000 miles and eight months later, still no sight of the pad warning light.
The ECU upgrade was a while-u-wait affair taking about an hour. As I drove away, I recognised that the V8 had a much brighter, more willing mid-range, and the next morning it was a model of smoothness, the only disappointment being a reduced idling time with the valve open.
gewoon het design en het feit dat hij steengoed is als daily driver zint me wel
Dat vooral...een beetje oneerbiedig zou je kunnen stellen dat het een auto is die je direct voor je vrouw zou kunnen kopen. Niet te gevaarlijk, en véél leuker als weer eens een Cayenne of een dikke Touareg.
