    Audi Software upgrade

    Has anyone had Audi's latest software upgrade on their RS4? If so how does the car now sound and drive?
    Had my RS4 since Feb so it's an late 06 model.
    In my opinion Audi have completely toned everything down that made my car so wild and exciting to drive, from the instant acceleration to the raw sound of the exhaust, the accelerator has been smoothed off, the engine note is nowhere near as raw, and that's in sport mode I'm heartbroken.
    does anyone know what Audi have done?

    no chance against actual RS4 and will suck against new rs4
    As 3x5PSI so often reminds us that the 335i is so easily tuned just think how very unhappy some of the M3 E92 owners around the world will feel when such things become available for the new S4 v6 Bi-turbo.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    BMW had turbos back in the day. And Audi copied BMW's high-revving NA concept for the RS4.

    back in whos days (Moses ) , no coping of the high reving concept , it all has to go that way anyway( most sports cars ), how the hell must the rs4 get more power if it only revs to Duhhh 6000 rpm, M3 had a 6 cylinder and then Audi has a V8 ( b6-b7 ), AND DUH the new M3 has what ??? a 6 cylinder ?? ummmmm

    I suppose you gonna say Audi copied the " four wheel drive " from the X3, X5

    I aint no M3 fanatic , but which one had a turbo,,,,, in the old days ?

    2002 Turbo. And few sports cars have high revving engines. Porsche only goes to 7000 for most models. AMGs-7500rpm.

    All previous "hot" Audis were turbos, so a descision to go with a NA engine was in response to the M3.

    yea which M3 had turbos,,,,,, ??? audi had v6 , twin turbo ,, bmw?? then audi moved to V8 , b6 , b7,,, so when did Audi copy M3

    M3 now has copied RS4 , S4 and have gone for NA V8 and at the same time copied the V6 Turbo FOR the 335i





    OR i suppose by having a NA engine copied M3 mmmm, COME on , audi lead the way ,BMW follow!!

    This is the BMW 2002 Turbo he is talking about.


    In it's day a very impressive little car but with awful turbo lag, a sign of the times.

    No doubt the present RS4 engine was done in response to critics that said Audi were only good at turbo engines. The RS4 has the fastest crank speed of all present road engines, proving that Audi could makes it with the rest of them.

    Look at it from his point of view, he has a RS4 which he totally dislikes, his stuck with it or either loses a bag of money. He's coming on Audi Fan websites to air his grievances, personally if it were me I would be singing to the other non Audi site of how bad Audis are but he prefers to do it his way.

    He should be writing to Audi themselves because clearly the relationship between him and the dealer isn't working and the car hasn't been sorted the way he wants.

    A result would be Audi to fix the car and as a good will gesture, throw in some Audi Experience driving lessons to just show what is capable with Quattro and how best to drive the thing. Maybe then we might has a convert.
