They literally got the car in two days ago(had not even started advertising it yet) and I worked out a deal today. Tomorrow they are going to do the 300 point inspection and are giving me the CPO warranty car just barely hit 35k miles, and looks mint inside and out and a single owner car. Im very excited because this will be one awesome DD/winter car! I know a few years ago there was some build up issues with the engines, is there anything else I should be requesting they check tomorrow?

 

congrats. i picked up a rs4 last week.

2 good ones to ask..
has the suspension been replaced under recall?
has it had the carbon cleaning done?

 

Congrats on the purchase! Be sure to post pictures.

It's my understanding all recalls must be performed first before obtaining the Audi certification for CPO warranty, but it does not hurt to ask. As for the carbon buildup, this is inevitable on this engine even after the clean.

 

thanks guys, Ill make sure to mention that to them today when I head down there soon.

 

this sounds like it's a singular event in the life of an RS4. Unfortunately it's an annual task if you want to be running fully powered car.

JHM, a tuning company in California with a bunch of great stuff for the RS4 appear to have a carbon solution on their product list. It's still in testing, but things are looking good.

OP - congrats on the pickup. Let's see some pics.

 

i agree with saki.... lets see some pics! i am in the market myself (provided i can sell my b6 as fast as possible).

just test drove this badboy tonight!

 

Congrats! You will not be disappointed.

 

I'm a huge die hard fan of V8 S4s. I agree with Global Autosports, you will not be disappointed!

 

Congrats, the RS4 is in my top list of cars to own.

 

Thanks everyone here are some pics I took with my cell phone

Also I do have a question, I believe in the manual it said 95 octane is recommended for the car, well so far the best ive found it 92. Which is kinda odd because in couer d'alene ive seen more than a few exotic super cars rolling around as dd's in the summer. Will lower octane gas increase how fast the carbon build up will happen? Because I have two options im gonna try out, either try and get gas at a Pacific Pride who I was told has 97 or take a 45 min drive to a gas station in downtown spokane I was told had 104 and stock up. But would 104 be overkill or would I mix it with 92????


Thanks guys

 

Based on what I've read 92 vs. 95 octane fuel makes no difference. If this was the case then people in California would be reporting more carbon build up issues than other states. Most people add in the cost of getting a carbon clean once every 15-20k miles since a solution has not been created.
