    Which is the one to go for ? and is there any difference between a normal front grille and an Sline grille ? I thought they were the same but then spotted an advert for one that said it didn't fit allroads or Sline Avants ?? seemed a bit odd Regards Mark

    I was going to say battery... apparently an early sign of a bad battery is lots of little seemingly unlinked electrical gremlins

    DAB radio reception problems.

    2.5tdi quattro sport suspension rebuild

    When you say rebuilding the suspension, are we talking just the control arms and links etc or springs and gas struts ? I did control arms and links on mine and used the Meyle HD and it was an excellent bit of kit as I'm sure the Lemforder is but I just couldn't justify the extra price

    Ride height puzzler

    Just for info and I know it doesn't help your cause, but I did my Rear brakes today and taking rum4mo's advice decided to check and record the colours on the springs of mine 2.0 Tdi Avant quattro Sline Special Edition, so these will be sport springs.
