    Removed electronic dampers - dash light

    The old school way would be to wire in a resistor (I think). Similar thing when I had my WV Mk4 R32 when you wire a resistor into wiring in the boot when you do the flapper mod.

    First Wash of my B8 :)

    I've not had a problem with them and I think you will be OK if you give the car a really good wash and use plenty of lube while doing it - the ones I got say to soak them in bucket of warm water and shampoo before using but I am sure you can use a clay lube as well. I found that I get less...

    First Wash of my B8 :)

    Picked up my B8.5 a few weeks ago and finally got round to giving it a good wash. I always find it really interesting washing a car for the first time and discovering all little blemishes and defects in the paint. The list so far is: Buffer burn to a small part of the metal window trim on...

    S-line ride quality

    Well the stance is nice.... but I've never driven a 'premium' car that feels so unsettled on a bumpy road. Actually driven a few very cheap cars (e.g. Suzuki Swift!) that are leagues ahead of the B8.

    S-line ride quality

    Cheers I'll have a look into the B4's - I've had good experience of Bilstein before. I'm surprised how wrong Audi got it with S-line suspension!

    S-line ride quality

    Yeah I kind of thought that on just changing springs... I'd ideally like more refinement and some improvement in comfort. I was looking at Koni FSD kits but had a feeling they no longer do them for the B8?

    S-line ride quality

    It's got new(ish) PS4's on all corners. I should check the tyre pressure though as I've not done that yet... if the pressures are unequal I suppose it could be contributing.

    S-line ride quality

    Hello Picked up my B8.5 s-line last week. While I was expecting the ride to firm I was not prepared for how bad it was! I had it on a long drive this week 400 odd miles, this is regular or me and I do about 900 miles a month for work. On the motorway it was OK but over any road with a poor...
