    Car sits higher after only changing shocks?

    He may have said OE quality. I can’t quite remember. Ill give him the benefit of the doubt on that, and i ran a quick price check for the Sachs and they go for around £100 on Euro Car Parts, the cheapest groping for around £70. I couldn’t find anywhere online that sells the Neox shocks, so ill...

    Car sits higher after only changing shocks?

    When I first took it to him, I asked will he use good quality parts and he said “I only Use OE parts”. Is there a difference between OE and OEM? I’m ****** off about it too mate and like I said in my last post, I won’t be using him again.

    Car sits higher after only changing shocks?

    You'd of thought so wouldn't you. I think this will be the last bit of work he will do on my car to be honest. Not happy now that he's told me he can only do the work in 6 days time. I've waited 6 days already (up until this morning) since I told him the issue, only for him to tell me the parts...

    Car sits higher after only changing shocks?

    Probably mate. I asked him Heres the update. The ones he put on are the Neox which are on the left. The middle is my old one and the one on the right is same as mine from the factory. The Neox’s bottom isn’t rounded off like the original so it’s not sitting in position right, and it’s likely...

    Car sits higher after only changing shocks?

    But would using the standard shocks raise the car like that?

    Car sits higher after only changing shocks?

    5 days later and is still as high. He’s going to have a look at it this Wednesday but it’s my gut feeling that he’s put the wrong shock absorbers on and doesn’t want the hassle of changing them for the correct ones.

    Car sits higher after only changing shocks?

    Took my car in for a service at an independent Audi specialist who informed me all my shocks where worn out and needed changing. Quoted £720. He's changed all of them but now my car is sitting a good 20mm higher than before. It's the black edition and as you may well know, sits lower than the...

    A3 Radio Fuse Location?

    Well... I fixed it. This may be a bit hard to explain but I'll try my best: right so nob for the volume(left) was always sunk in a little bit (not as prominent as the tuner nob) and on numerous occasions I had tried pressing it in because usually that is where the 'on/off' button was, but it was...

    A3 Radio Fuse Location?

    My Audi Symphony radio will not turn on after the battery was disconnected. It has done this before and what I did to get it on was push a tape cassette into it and then it would boot up, but as you can see from the photo, this time the battery was disconnected with the cassette INSIDE...
