Very similar. Right now I'm not too bothered about it. I am disappointed though but concentrating more on the mechanics of the car. It's probably something I'll look into sorting in the future.

Sachs are part of the ZF group. LuK are part of the Schaeffler group. Both are OEM suppliers. Personally I'd prefer a Sachs Xtend clutch but anything from either company will be decent.

Double check if you have seat occupancy sensor on the front passenger seat. Also check seat belt latch. Sometimes it's electronically monitored, sometimes not. Physically they'll fit. Electrically you need to check.

Mine has areas of clear coat missing from around the door handles, around the door rub strips and on one edge of the rear door. I didn't really notice them when I bought the car but pretty disappointing. I doubt Audi would be willing to help out with sorting it.

Got loads, just can't remember where I put them. May also remove exhaust tonight and bodged fix the holes (some confirmed, some suspected).

Not today (Sunday actually)... Swapped front springs. Replaced front lower arm shock bush because I was convinced the SuperPro polyurethane one was squeaking. It still squeaks so I'm suspecting spring seats or top mounts. To do today - find a new 501 bulb in my garage and replace driver's...

I wish they did, mainly because the difference in pipe diameter between the sports cat and downpipe is hilarious. My downpipe is also looking a little worse for wear.

soldier4313 - that looks awesome. Lava grey?

Mine with both B5 RS4 style wheels (original genuine fitment, now for sale) and my current wheels (genuine "fat fives"). 10mm spacing front, 15mm spacing rear.

I wish the Avant did too. Not sure how it's linked on the saloon strip. I imagine it's independent of anything else in the lid though so the whole strip should come out in one. I may be wrong though.

Cat is right after the turbo. Just look at the left side of your engine. If you follow it down you'll see it meet the downpipe with a three bolt flat flange. My bolts there were utterly wrecked, had to remove the cat and downpipe and cut them off. The downpipe joins the centre section with a...

I had my boot lid trim off to fit the resistor cable. The strip mounts with two brackets, each with two nuts. Once they're off the strip should pop out after pressing in two tabs. Very easy. It also helped as I could get the lights seated perfectly with the screws properly torque down.

Cranberry... Interesting. I might have to try some. Failing that something from Chemical Guys.

The banjo bolt on the HPFP is a bit of a b***h. It was by far the most fiddly bit to do when I swapped my follower.

If you've not done them yet, genuine Audi LED number plate lights are great. Good light but not overly bright/harsh like some after market units. You will need a resistor loom though. I got a Kufatec from Germany. Speaking of which, the screws are a heck of a lot easier to undo if you remove the...
