Did the spacers make a big difference for you in regards to intake temps?

I always thought the RS2's front bumper fog / indicator treatment was very familial to the 993 motif. And the 993 mirrors, Cup wheels, and big reds are sweet touches.
I finally pop'd my RS2 cherry with some WOT time this summer, my bud in Montreal bought one and came down with it. Neat car.
Say Robert, you on the S2 forum at all? If so, you've probably read about the RS2 America build here in the States (Georgia)? That's my good friend Tommyboy... that car / project is incredulous!

In general the RS4 is very reliable. I bought mine about a year ago with 16K miles and CPO til 08/14. I have not had any issues and am currently at 23.5K miles. They are great cars and I am sure you will have fun in it when the snow comes.

Mark - both of your cars are fantasmagoric... wow to the combo.
Great pair to have there, well played good sir very well played...
The ECU floodage isn't unique to RS4 (fortunately/unfortunately)... no different than sunroof drains in 993s or cowl drains in my MB or nearly any Audi. I endeavor to not set off in any of my cars w/o ensuring scuttles are free of visible debris, as you know where it's destined to further journey to & effect (floodage).

I bought my 07 B7 RS4 about 4 months ago.. it's truly a stunning machine. The PO had put in a Miltek exhaust and thicker sway bars.
I grin every time I'm fortunate to get to choose between two incredible machines... and I think you will too. Enjoy!

Scheduled replacement is probably around 128,000km's.
I recently did this job on my 4.2 V8 Touareg and I am sure the RS4 uses a similar kit that besides the timing belt includes the water pump, tensioners, rollers, thermostat and serpentine belt for under $400.
