People are so hung up on high milage vehicle's in this country. When you look at the states, they have vehicle's over 250k miles, I've even seen vehicle's on videos with 1 million miles on them! Keeping up with maintenance is the key, just simply changing the oil and filters once, to twice a year makes all the difference.
Happy new year Ben, driving round in top gear at about 1300 rpm is due to the low end torque, brilliant engine glad to see the RS4 back on the channel 👍
The a/c pressure valves are easy to change and no regas required. If I remember it's fiddly to get to without removing the bumper. A faulty rad fan will also stop the a/c working on these.
Check the washer pumps for the xenon jets. One situated on the side of the washer main tank and there is one on each side of the xenon’s. When I had my B5 S4 the pumps leak when the cold weather comes as they expand and crack usually because of wrong fluids.
Great little honest video Ben, you got to love those old classics, keep you on your toes, think of the certificates you would have not had, if you had just ran round in the pea. 😂
Yeesss mate, great vid, Ash is defo getting more comfortable on camera and you can clearly see you boys are having a laugh…keep plugging away boys, the channel will blow up for yas 💪🏼
Fun Fact, I drove this car back in early 2008, when it was owned by a mate in Manchester. I remember being underwhelmed until we took it over Snake Pass on a sunny afternoon.
Lee begs to differ. He’s got Conti’s on his McLaren and was telling me the other day how he can’t believe they still have shit loads of tread. Conti’s better in wet and dry conditions too 👍🏼
@@EVILGT doubt Lee is incorrect . Speak to anyone in the tyre game & they will clearly tell you PS4s are miles better for tyre wear . The compound on the Conti is softer & that’s the main reason they have awful tear wear .. do the maths 😉
Gr8 work again Ben 👊smashed it👏- glad to see you get to the bottom of most of the problems, keep the content coming on this special car👌will love to see you drop the engine if your brave enough and how far you get......good luck
@EVILGT looking forward to it . Keep up the vids been a subscriber for over 3 years, you and Lee are quality just every day people and Ash coming out his shell now 👍
Mines relieved me of over 15k in the 7 years I've owned it. I'm just glad it's not my daily🤣. When I put it back on the road around April it's gonna need 4 tyres,a service,some minor mot advisories and front discs 😮. There's always something to do on a b7 but it's like a loveable old dog that you just can't get rid of.😊
I never quite understood the need for Pad Wear Sensors. I believe Pads wear due to Braking= Friction from excessive speed. I was under the impression that Pads are good until a Grinding noise is heard😂 Must be that xmas has gone that You don't want a Dash like a xmas tree😂😂
But no tv Tunner or take me home lights , but my last one did , just factory options , wish I had them , also converted last tv to digital using tuner from 2013 A3 👍
@EVIL GT Is it normal for your B7 to crank for ≥2 seconds? Mine cranks and idles in an instant - I'm in South Africa and its Autumn/Summer. Also, what other styled rims may I fit other than the OEM? I wanna refurbish and store the originals but gosh I'm battling to find alternatives. Every RS4 owner I've come across has OEM wheels. Did Audi do this on purpose? Please help any1, Thank you.
I’d have a look at how it’s setup to be honest mate… Lee’s got them on his 940hp McLaren and they are incredible. Had them on my 8Y RS3 and they were better than the 4S’s I had on previously… this is where my recommendation came from. These tyres are very highly regarded. th-cam.com/video/t10y-87oiD4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4_Nf_ByGK-eymL5u
@@EVILGT yeah spent a lot of time reading up on what tyres to go for as took 19 inch prets off and put standard 18s back on for selling the car so was shocked when drove the car recently and they weren’t great! Had sport contact 6 on previous civic type r and were incredible and have 4S on my RS3 saloon and they night and day better than conti on the golf 🤷♂️
Interesting to see where washer fluid excess is , think I need to replace pump as mine feels sluggish even after cleaning jets 💦 💦 💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦🍻🍻💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦🍻
When mine leaked it was the headlight washer pump that had rusted internally and cracked as it does less work than the pump for the windcreen, so water sits in it and rust its quicker, it quite common on these. The washer bottle is quite robust and rarely cracks.
Awsome stuff Ben 👌 mine has 108000 miles no issues currently but was down most of summer waiting for kwv3 from Germany drc was done :-) ! Keep em coming Ben Your great 👍 bud!
A shit tone of talk lets you drive it like mi granny without it juddering or stalling!! Lovely engine and car, I had the same year but convertible, wish I hadn’t sold it!! 👍👍
All ways good to see a B7 video ,been folowing since you bought that bad boy,ive got the same A/c issue ,fitted new sensor and dryer just need a regas and hopefully she will be good 👍
So happy you bought this car back....I just passed the 14 yr mark with mine and while many cars are faster (including my daily which is a new S4), the RS is all about the driving experience which I absolutely love. For your washer fluid, check the connections behind the front bumper for the headlight washers....Its a frequent spot for leaks.. Also just use plain washer fluid...Here in the US, some of the specialty ones (Rain-X) can cause issues.
If I pretend I'm coming to buy your car can I test drive it for the day? I'll then bring it back and make an excuse not to buy it. Is that cool with you?
Great content lads, I have had the Continental SportContact 7 on my B7 RS4 for the last year and I'm very happy with them. I'm looking forward to the Secondary Air Injection video as I'd like to it to mine.
Rs4 what a beast it is..
Them seats look so comfy and tidy.
She’s a keeperrrr!!

All the best mate 🍻
The ECON light isn't going off as letting you know it has a AC fault like low gas pressure or faulty pressure switch I would guess at on a Audi
Love the rs4 content I remember when you collected it.great work as always keep it up boys
Thanks mate. That was a great day 👍🏼
Awesome Ben to have more content on the RS4. Keep up the content 👍

Driving it correctly. Nice one Ben
The aircon sensor is on a one way valve so no gas should escape when changing , or it was empty beforehand aswell
Great little honest video Ben, you got to love those old classics, keep you on your toes, think of the certificates you would have not had, if you had just ran round in the pea. 😂

My car or another B7 RS4?
@@EVILGT going off the My Car check - I am 99% sure this is the same car. Does it still have a key code immobilser?
Love your approach, feel guilty if I miss one and not supported you!
Lovely car , been a loyal servant that one , and it’s nice when you get all the little jobs done , good luck 👍👍
Great video. Where was the leak for the window washer system? I’m having the same issue
Best comedy duo on TH-cam 😂😂😂 love these car videos. Get a classic in to prep for summer shows
Thanks mate 👍🏼
Brilliant as usual. Happy new year to you all. I'd love to see you two take a piano out of a building. You ever see that episode of Laurel & Hardy ;)
Haha all the best mate 👍🏼
Conti 7 has shocking wear v’s Michelin PS4s so definitely not cheaper in the long run . Michelin are 👑 as I’ve tried both extensively

Used to be my dream car b7 rs4. Fantastic sounding car.
Good to see Leroy turned up with his sponge 🧽 in his new coat at the end 🤣
Getting his hands dirty finally 👌🏼
@@EVILGTnot sure how. He put gloves on first 🤪😂
Who needs Lee for the comedy when we have Ash 👍

Keep them coming 🙏😀
All the best mate nice one 🍻
The man with few words ....hahaha love ash
perfect car to go for Turkish food in with ash lmao
Car sounds sick
Great video Ben
FML he's hard work lol
This channel was missing ash, he's a proper Doris
You should try a corvette and Aston Martin V12 they are the same with the 6th gear
Interesting 🤔 is it an N/A thing?
Beautiful car long live the v8
Join the pad wear wires together. Job done
They had snapped off 👍🏼
I noticed your RS4 doesn't have a sunroof. Is that on all RS4?
Nope, mine has a sunroof.
It was an option from factory bud 👍🏼
I have one in mine 😊
But no tv Tunner or take me home lights , but my last one did , just factory options , wish I had them , also converted last tv to digital using tuner from 2013 A3 👍
Do a rs4 b7 meet at awesome,cmon sort it...
The rs4 lives to fight another day 😊 ben what happened to the last vid? Were you naughty again🤭
No mate that was just a live we did 👍🏼
Legend ben
Thanks for the tip brother, was thinking of getting a v8,are u a mechanic brother?🤫🤔😬😬🤫🤫🤔
What are the garage tiles like?

Keep your better tyres on the back, you might even out the tread wear but you might find yourself in a hedge as well 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Any updates on the yaris?
Tomorrow night mate 😬👍🏼
I had that issue with the ware sensors, i ended up soldiering the pins together where you used the wire 😊
Econ light comes on when the AC need pressurised
It’s just when the chain goes
Any more pod casts ?
Yea. A catch up podcast with Lee would be great.
Nothing planned mate unfortunately. Maybe in the future 👍🏼
I hit 160k on my rs4
you taking any outside jobs on benji 😉 keep up the good work always lookforward to watching
Haha definitely not 🤣👌🏼
oooooffff the RS4 😍Don't ever get rid of that Ben mate, the sound track is 😍, Ash also Loves it even though it makes him swear 🤭🤣😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣👌🏼
Looking at the gear stick you need a short shifter.
Definitely 👌🏼
Id be asking why there was no AC gas in the system. Is there condensation in the headlamps?
Can’t be a leak as the A/C machine does a pressure test doesn’t it 🤔 no idea bud. Yes there is cleared now though 👍🏼
@@EVILGT someone deliberately depressurised the AC for some reason or the gas left on its own.
