Hi all, I am a final year Masters student at university and we have a project concerning sound from electric and hybrid vehicles. Please may you spare 3 minutes of your time to fill out this short questionnaire, it would be much appreciated! (Mods let me know if this is not allowed)...

Thanks guys, there was bound to be a reason. Shame I can't afford the genuine one right now!

When you say no support, is this everything from software to if it brakes thats it? Will it still do the job (assuming it works ok)?

Hi All, Engine light has been on/off for a while now, about time I looked in to fixing it. Could anyone tell me why this VAG-COM tool is so much cheaper than the ones on Ross-Tech's website? Thanks.

So I hadn't driven my car in a while, finally got round to taking it for a drive and when I hit ~3000rpm, it was like I hit the limiter.. Since then this 'barrier' has moved round to 5k. Any ideas? Thanks.

Driving back down the M40 yesterday and the car started to "wobble". It wasn't vibration coming through the steering wheel but more as if a big gust of wind was moving my car. It's happened before and it wasn't exactly windy. This an issue anyone has heard of or just down to turbulent air on...

So this happened on Monday, went ping as I went no faster than usual over a speedbump. It's the rear right. Now in a bit of a dilemma. Thinking about lowering, do I get 35mm H&R springs now, and run on my standard shocks? Do I go full blast and get coils? Or do just get the rears...

Thanks Jakub, looks good. Id probably be going for 12mm rear, 10 front as that seams to be a popular choice. I don't have the same wheels as you, mine are BBS speedlines, to which i don't know how to find out what offset they are..?

I have a 2.0T S-line Audi with BBS speedlines. I fancy getting some spacers to bring the track out just that bit more, but changing the springs isn't something that I want to be doing right now. Has anyone else done this?

Let me know if you're seriously thinking about it.

Would anyone consider buying a black 2.0T S-Line with 135k on the clock. Been my dads from new, had it as a company car which he then bought. Full leather, bose stereo, xenons, complete service history. Has been a fantastic car, but he's now bought an A5 :) Would be looking for ~£4k

Fancied a nice drive today however as I have just moved hear really, I don't know if any! Tried having a google but there doesn't seem to be any in this area. Ideas anyone?

Moved to Daventry for the year as I'm on placement, so I don't know of any reputable garages for my MOT at the end of February. Could anyone recommend any?

Has anyone used anyone near Rugby/Daventry?

Big thanks to 1wheelonly for helping me out with the VCDS
