I'm a little bit jealous, what spec did you go for?

I think there are 2 or 3 owners on here now.

[mtbond63]

Very jealous.

Hope you have fun in it tho mate.

Extremely jealous, one of the few cars i'd swap mine for.
I reckon you'll love it

Might be worth getting a clear film on it .. or Zymol top end glaze/wax to stop stone chips .. also please use 97plus fuel ..

Please tell me youve got the carbon engine pack?

[Pilky]

Spent half an hour picking small stones out from the bottom of the side cover behind the doors on a black one last week. They get flicked up off the road and get wedged in and you can see them from the side...lovely car though! The owner tells me he's putting engine oil in it regularly??? is this common??

Yes 1 litre per 1000 miles same as the RS4 block, that is what the manual says apparently.

Are you serious?

A wax to stop stone chips? Film maybe, wax no!

[Mikeyboy]

My RS4 probably uses a little more than 1l per 1000miles of oil but not by much.
