Nope, I change it earlier, because the manufacturer (Audi) has no idea what they’re talking about.

Haha, whatever man. Has nothing to do with being “good for me”, just informing you that the shop that maintains more of these cars than any other has never seen a failure.
Carbon clean is like $750-800 from a indy shop. Or you can self perform in a weekend. Once you’ve done it a few times, you can do the whole thing in 8 hours or so.
And I said that the chain also has zero issues. JHM (the leader in maintenance and modifications to B7 RS4s and B8 RS5s) has never seen a timing failure (guide or chain) nor have they replaced any timing components on the high revving 4.2 FSI motors.
They don’t have air suspensions...
Because the RS4 doesn’t have timing chain issues. Not the same engine as the S4.
I bet you’d hate to see the lower mileage ones that are trading at 2x+ the cost of this one then.
I’ve had 3. None were particularly expensive to maintain. Common myth, and I don’t really know where it originated from.
I’ve heard zero reports of chain or guide failures on BNS motors, even with 220k+ miles. Just not an issue.
Nope, that’s the S4. The RS4 uses metal guides, zero timing chain issues.
Clutch on these will easily last over 100k miles.
This is above market. Considering high 20s will you get you a well maintained example with 60k miles, I wouldn’t look twice at this unless you really love RS4s. And even then, it’s not original and is too much money.
RS4s have 19" wheels.
Yeah, I’m in West Midtown and work downtown. I take the connector in every morning. It’s an awful 3.5 miles, but only takes 15 mins even in the worst traffic. I don’t understand how some people drive downtown from Gwinnett or north Cobb. 1+ hour each way, every day. I would lose my mind.
Nice in theory but would never happen because of the political environment here.
It’s actually the exact definition of induced demand, as taught by hundreds of civil engineering programs across the world (including the one I attended, GT). You seem to have made up your own terminology, as “reactive expansion” is not an term used in the industry. What you mean is induced demand.
Yes, but the engines from 2000-2006 had to last for a much shorter duration than current engines.
*9 WDCs, adding 1999 and 2006
Demand absolutely goes up because of widening/travel time improvements. Saying “demand is always increasing” ignores what actually drives demand. Population growth is one part, but induced demand due to newly built excess capacity is absolutely a real phenomenon.
The lanes are dynamically priced. If the toll goes up to some exorbitant rate, that is the system trying to reduce the number of cars entering the toll lane so that it will flow at speeds >45 mph, as federally required.
