Is there a manual or something to download that wil help identify some buttons that I have no idea what they do?

Like the button on the console which has a steering wheel symbol on it; the button on the dash with the AWD symbol on it; and what diff would the 'snow' button make?

:blink:

been discussed before - but the button with the steering wheel symbol on it activates the up / down gear change buttons on the steeringwheel

snow button basically stops it from taking off in 1st gear ( to prevent wheel spin ) and I think it limits boost too???

there is also a button on the dash that locks the center diff for slippery conditions

( dont use it on tarmac ) I gotta run for now but I am sure some of the more in the know people will come along and enlighten you further.

The steering wheel symbol engages your tiptronic shifters

The AWD button changes the torque split in the ATESSA form 80:20 to 50:50

The Snow button lowers engine torque and starts the car in 2nd gear to prevent wheel spin in slippery conditions

My RS4 has the Momo steering wheel, so I don't think I have the tiptronic shift buttons there.

Thanks for the answers guys ... now I can yell at the GF for pushing buttons, knowing what harm they could do :blink:

for god sake don't press the snow button. It releases a huge dump of snow from the roof and you will be drying the car out for ages afterwards

mine just gives me bad reception on the tv.

The momo's I have seen (for series 2 tiptronic) also have the shift up/down buttons...?

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
