    Rusty Sills/Water ingress

    I've searched a few other rust threads but I've not found anything on this area of the car. Washing my car the other day and found that the paint was flaking off the sills in massive chunks, with some lines around 3 inches long. On further examination the rear of one sill is also covered in rust...

    Knocking from the back of a Quattro

    Anything need to be done to go with bigger rims?

    I want to upgrade my alloys from the standard 17" to 19" and either go wider on the back or geth them spaced out farther into the arch. Do I need to get anything done with sensors, etc for the quattro system when I change to ensure it still works?
