    H&R - Creaking Springs

    Hi guys, had 50mm H&R lowering springs fitted around 10 months ago I've recently noticed that if I turn the wheel quickly when moving very slowly or when stationary I can hear a creaking noise coming from the front springs. It's not a clunking or banging, more a creak that sounds like it's...

    Bonnet gap - Is this normal?

    Hi guys. Had this gap between the front edge of the bonnet and the grille/bumper since owning the car. Hoped that when I had the S3 bumper fitted it would cure it, but unfortunately it's still prominent. From some angles you barely notice it, but from others (looking at it when crouched...

    Hi, I've fitted an S3 rear valance to my 8P2 but the twin SLine exhaust tips look a little lost in the cut out. I'm wondering if the S3 exhaust tips are bigger? If so, what size should I be looking at to better fill the cut out? thanks

    Testing my Alarm

    Thought I'd test my alarm out, because in 4 months of owning the car I've never heard it go off, so I wasn't even sure it was working. The tilt sensor works great, it only has to be raised a matter of inches before the alarm sounds But the interior motion alarm doesn't seem very sensitive...

    Quote for Lowering

    Just been quoted £260 to fit the four H&R 50mm lowering springs to my A3 170 (4 hours work at £55 p/h + VAT). Thought this was a little expensive to be honest. What have other paid? Cheers :)
