Audi B5 RS4 in Msia- maintenance etc

[gobiz]

Hi, just wondering whether anyone has seen an Audi B5 RS4 in Malaysia?

I'm currently overseas and thinking of bringing back a unit since prices have dropped quite a bit.

The engine is 2.7L so road tax is quite reasonable at around RM1400.

However, I'm worried about maintenance...

Does anyone know a good Audi specialist? Also, does the Audi dealer in Glenmarie take secondhand cars esp. cars that was not bought from them for servicing?

Many thanks

there are a few rs4 b5 in malaysia. i have seen one in jalan klang lama (audible). why dont u get the rs4 b7 bro? roadtax is a bit expensive but the rs4 b7 is like damnnnnnn hottt

Is jalan Klang Lama (Audible) an Audi specialist workshop?

B7 RS4 is still quite expensive and I don't think I can afford it.

Running costs would also be high - road tax already RM4000+ per year.

yup. audible and ever auto are 2 audi service centres in jalan klang lama. they compete with each other.

For RS4, it's better to service it at Euromobil itself.

yes, bro the audi centre in glenmarie shah alam does take older cars.. when i was wrkn there, models like rs2 's, s1come there for service.. look for arif danial.. he's the customer service executive.

but i wonder how much do they charge? :stupid:

 

[mathen]

the price no need to say la.... expert pricing.. some more rs4 most of the parts must be ordered.. not really sure abt routine servicing though.. probably the same as the other models..

audi b7 2.0t track record has been good. but i hope you ll get the a4 b8. not much different in price also since b7 was very expensive when it came out. u have gotta love the LED lamps on the b8

i just bought a 2005 B7 2.0T s line. But abit worry on the 7 speed multitronic transmission which has many complains in UK.

seems the gearbox computer is the main problem and changing the gearbox oil filter is a tedious job.Did malaysia import the DTM 2.0t quattro B7?
