I've just been looking at it.
Most excellent, well worth buying a copy. We have been asked where they are available from as not all newsagents stock them. You can call Autometrix on 01525 750 500 to pay over the phone and they will post you one out, or get a subscription. |

Yep mine is in there and I've not read the full mag yet but really please that they dedicated so much space to the RS4.
I like the mag too after being sent a few copies and might even subscribe to it as their technical features really do explain things well. |

there are a few basic mistakes e.g. 'dump valve' being referred to but not bad |

Page 18:
'The head design of this engine, along with many Audi units, requires the cam-shaft bearings to be line-bored when they are manufactured, matching them to the camshafts. This means that new camshafts cannot be obtained and so any damage to the cams or their running bearings means, you guessed it, new heads!'
Hmmm, this doesn't sound right.
Can of worms or bag of bull$hite? |

pair of KO4's 1400 notes, Yeah right!
Oil change every 10k miles, Yeah right! |

Not the best advert for a certain specialist in Staffordshire.  |
