    Hamster's take on the A3 Saloon - "Meh"

    Well, I am one of those currently potentially on Audi's radar, a downsizer from the might A4 (on 3rd B8 Avant).

    Audi A4 Black Edition with MUD FLAPS!!

    Fit on my MY12 BE Avant, installed them myself, pretty straight forward I have to say, took a couple of hours one evening to do. Makes the car look/seem like its lower to the ground, and really do keep the c**p off the sills and rear bumper.

    'Shudder' when pulling off in 1st gear

    Had the very same thing on my 58plate B8 170tdi. Lasted til 20k with it, mentioned in when it when in for first service, ended up being in for 2 weeks, new clutch and flywheel fitted. Was super smooth after that. Thus far on my 11plate B8 170tdi, no issues, and I'm 14k on the clock.

    Dunlop Sport Maxx or Sport Maxx GT for my 19" on A4

    OK, the front P Zero's on my MY11 Black Edition A4 are about done (13.6k), so looking around for new boots. I had Dunlop Sport Maxx on my old B8, and seem to remember something about specific boot fitment for Audi? So am I right in thinking I need to buy Sport Maxx GT to fit on my 19" Black...

    S Line Suspension or Standard Sport Suspension on Avant Black Edition - Confusion?

    I ordered my Black Edition in Nov '10 and added 30mm S-Line suspension, no noise from dealer about it not being compatible with the Titanium 19" alloys which come with the Black Edition. Was hoping to find how it performed in March, but it would seem that Black Editions are delayed until July...
