Congrats on the anniversary! I'm approaching 20k miles too. Just cracked into 18s after 7 months of ownership. I might catch you pretty soon :) Servicing the R's engine is important. But if you do not push the limits a lot those 20k might have been ok for the engine. I for myself am in for...

Ferodo DS fits to the RCZ R brake. But especially Ferodo will squeal as they have a bit harder pad material which goes into fine vibrations when touching the discs at low speeds. That causes this annoying squealing. RCZ R's brake tend to squeal when really cold. On mine, it happens like once a...

got it, mate. wish you all luck with the claim :greetings-wavingblue:

I don't know if I'm going to contribute here in a proper way, as what I can sense here is a moment of frustration. But maybe I can give some "hope" to other RCZ users and potential buyers. What am I talking about? I have been jacking up my RCZ several times before and never ever had any issues...

Of all arguments about Audi I like those about "I have 4WD!" the most. I hope all those Audi fanboys realize that in reality they do drive a FWD about 99% of the time. And only on occasions where the front loses grip, the wet clutch engages and makes it kind-of 4WD. But exactly that particular...

IMHO the typical TT owner is not looking for balanced performance when choosing a car. I personally know two TT drivers, one with the very first version of TT tweaked to about 255bhp and another one with the latest TT RS tweaked to 600+ bhp. Both don't give a dime about their car's agility...

It is a pity you don't offer the Philips D1S Ultinon 6000K HID bulbs. I'm going to switch to them from the original Philips Xenarc Start HIDs. I have those Ultinon on my other car and they are just on a different level compared to other aftermarket HIDs :greetings-wavingblue:

Thumbs up for another morrocan red R :thumbup: Enjoy her and the attention you get (I have never ever had in my entire car life that many positive comments from people everywhere about the car I drive)

Now that is simple :) Have a look at my location, it is Germany :greetings-wavingblue: My R is driven on kilometers rather than on miles. Yeah, those spark plugs to be changed every other 12.500 miles is kind of weird. I put it down to the extreme temperatures the R engine is generating...

Exactly the same sheet I got with the hand-over of my car keys! Thumbs up! It matches exactly the servicing interval of my local version. 12.500 miles equates to 20.000 km. After the service was done they also changed the in-car's service display to 20.000 km or 1 year.

Nothing in English, I'm afraid. Only in ze german. By the time I picked up the car from the dealer, he handed me a sheet over. A kind of add-on to the regular service book. The service book is still according to model year 2012. Therefore nothing special about the R was inside, beyond some...

hi Stagger, there is a lot of confusion at pug dealers about R's service interval. I can for 100% certainty tell you that the R has to go into service each 12.500 miles. Do not get distracted by the service notice on the car's display. It is wrong. My service notice on the display was also...

One word of advice on 19" winter tyres: watch out for the load index on those winter tyres you are going to purchase. Don't go higher than 92. Stay even below that. Otherwise you will be treated with very harsh and hard ride. Not a pleasure at all.

A heated gear knob? I'm in for it! That bloody thing feels cold when going for the first gear changes on a chilly morning. Can't imagine how it must feel at -25°C even if you never have those low temperatures inside the car. Gloves are a must then! About those tilting mirrors. It is a nice...

Indeed you can spec those others seats for the R when ordering in Germany/Switzerland/Austria (and maybe other sales regions). Those are the standard RCZ leather seats. You get electric setting too. But then you drop those excellent R seats. I tried them in an actual R car and I didn't like them...

Welcome to the club! You won't be. It took me some time to get "used" to the car (not in regards of usability, cause those RCZ are pretty easy to use on a daily basis) and to play with its limits but it was worth it. Absolutely. Currently I've clocked over 13.000 miles from new and the fun and...

I like it too! Do you also get this loud exhaust pipe banging on the overrun? Or when suddenly and quickly going off the accelerator while being on high boost? Whoooosh, bang! I love it. It makes kids run away, haha.

The body has already an in-built strut bar there. Have a closer look. There is no need to strengthen this part of the shell on the RCZ. I sense the "problem" more in the middle of the body. But you only sense this small disadvantage when pushing the car to the limits over bumps. In normal...

thank god they made it "french" way :thumbup: I hate those pesky ESP in all VW and other german brands. the oversensibility (or lack of liberality, to be precise) of those systems somehow reflects the german attitude. no fun, cause it's risky! you sir do on roads only wot is told by se law...

Talking about flooring it: the traction control in the R has a lot of tolerance range. You can spin the wheels without the pesky ESP to kick in. I like it a lot.
