If a procedure is not in the book, they won’t want to do it as the service writer controls what they do. Even if the mechanic wants and knows how to do something that’s not in the book, the service writer won’t authorize it. So if you are unable to remove the rotors and sand them, find a race...

Audis are great but really boring now. Go buy the RS4 Cab that’s on bring a trailer website right now.

New pads won’t help if the pad deposits on the rotor are uneven. Get new pads but also take the rotors off and sand them down some.

I’d take the rear rotors off, sand off the pad deposits then rebed them. My 25 4BW does not squeal a bit.

It could be the parts of the shock assembly that mount it to the chassis. There is some sort of shock bushing on top that usually gets transferred over with a new shock. I had a clunk like that and it was the left rear shock. Also I’d check to make sure the battery is properly secured. It’s in...

Your correct. Not sure if the BW has dual mass flywheel. Also the clutch is considered a wear item, and generally not covered under warranty. So the OP may have to do the old “I’ll take it apart and if I find the flywheel was defective the warranty will pay for it, if it looks like wear then...

Might need a new flywheel and friction plate or get the one that’s in it turned. If that’s possible, in the so called old days one could get a machine shop to lightly turn the surface of a flywheel. Now? Probably not, plus it takes the right machine and skill set.

Not sure how clutch shudder and knock sensors could be related. Knock sensors pull back timing due to bad gas or lower octane. That usually happens a higher speed and rpm, with clutch fully engaged. In my experience clutch shudder is usually due to uneven pad deposits on the flywheel or a dual...

yes the data service for the car is activated and the phone is on the charging pad. It's only happened twice but it's iratating as hell. Only way to stop it was to turn the phone off. But get this, the damm phone turned back on by itself. someone weird shit.

its wireless CarPlay on the BW

On my 25BW, it sometimes switches to car play all by itself and keep switching to it even after numerous times of exiting it.

Well yes, I was trusting that the computers would work things out and they did. The E Diff helped quite a bit in sweeper turns in the rain. Plus I used to race motorcycles and learned that the worst thing to do in a turn is to let up too much on the throttle. I was in sport mode the whole time...

So I was going across I68 in Md this weekend Trooper got me with 83 in a 70 zone, in hard rain…only got a warning and told that I was going too fast for the conditions. He was also thrown off by seeing a guy 30 years older than him busting down the highway like that. The 4 BW is a great open...

Same for me. In my DC condo building built in 1979, there is no power outlets close to any parking spaces in the garage. Also (Board) we looked into it, and found that we'd have to add in whole new wiring with its own fuse panel to bring enough KVA into the building to have chargers, and routing...

Their pad selections can very for producing dust and what temp they need to work. I think I had 1400s on my Alcon kit and when they were cold not much bite. Plus a bit of squeal when cold. So I had to warm them up some to get them up to temp.

Well I’m used to high revving engines as I’ve had a few Ducatis and Aprilias along with Kawasaki and Honda bikes. In fact the Z06 sort of makes up for not having a bike anymore, as I realized going 100 plus leaned over in a turn is no longer my thing.

Carbotech pads are great. They make all kinds of variations too. I used them on an Alcon big brake kit that I put on a B6 S4 I had.

Soon. By next week it will be. Have to move money around banks to pay for it, as it’s Friday and Monday is a holiday…I probably won’t see the deposit into checking till Tuesday. Then I’ll go get it.

I got offered 62k trade in on the 4BW. I thought that was pretty good.

I test drove a 2024 today, 2lZ with some extras. Totally different experience than the BW and more than I expected. Did a 5 mile drive but only got to 5k rpm due to traffic. Have to decide if this can be my only car. I think it can. I tried touring mode and sports mode. Just starting it and...
