Plan d’maintenance Audi RS4 B7

Launched in `2006`, the `RS4 B7` completely changed philosophy compared with the `B5`: the biturbo was gone, replaced by the naturally aspirated `4.2 FSI V8` with `420 hp`, still with `quattro` traction but in a much more rev-hungry reading of the performance estate. Against a BMW M3 or a harder-edged Mercedes C-Class, it stands out through an engine that loves revs and a chassis that is more precise than its age suggests.

The `RS4 B7` came as standard with a `6-speed` manual gearbox and the `DRC` system to limit body movements. The `4.2 FSI` remains a deeply appealing engine, but you need to know its real topics: intake carbon build-up linked to direct injection, coils, intake flaps, cooling, `DRC` leaks, clutch wear and ageing suspension parts. A car described as healthy has to prove above all that it has not merely been stored or polished, but maintained by someone who understands the platform.
