RS 4

Hi all, I am considering buying a 2015 RS 4 Avant and would be grateful if anybody could let me know what to look out for and what they are like to live with ?
Many thanks.

Head over to Rs246.com - a wealth of knowledge there.

Suggested you read this ( https://forum.rs246.com/viewtopic.php?t=126617 ), specifically the detail around service items especially:

Front Final Drive: renew gearbox oil – Every 20,000 miles.
Dual Clutch Gearbox S-Tronic: Replace ATF filter and ATF fluid – Every 40,000 miles.
Rear Final Drive : Replace final drive oil – Every 40,000 miles.
Rear Final Drive : Replace ATF fluid – Every 40,000 miles.

These items are often neglected (Audi main dealers are often ignorant about them with the service department and certainly when buying cars for used stock. If they're neglected, issues are much more likely to crop up and goodwill outside warranty becomes very unlikely.

Main thing too look for (other than the usual focus on condition) is knocking from the suspension

Great cars, tech is outdated, it's not a sharp precision machine but that engine is a real treat. I've had an RS4 and RS5. Love them.

Thanks, I will head over there and take a look. Currently have a Mustang GT which is old tech so that doesn't worry me. Had a test drive of one today and was quite impressed to be honest.
