    Black edition grill

    I got one from Ali express. I wasn’t expecting much but it’s actually really good quality. Way better than the rs4 style one I had before. I did have to wait 4 weeks to get it though

    1.4 TFSI engine jerks

    I used a garage with a proper snap on scanner/programming tool. The method listed above may be just as good though but I’ve never tried it. I can safely say my car is still driving fine anyway.

    Eibach vs Vogtland

    I’m using the standard 245/35 size as I think the slightly bigger sidewall when using the 255’s is noticeable and makes the wheels look smaller. I fitted spacers instead to fill the arches out a bit. 12mm on the rears and 10mm on the fronts.

    This is how it sat on the eibach springs

    Eibach vs Vogtland

    Eibach vs Vogtland

    Soooo I have been so unsure about lowering my car but I bit the bullet and bought the eibach pro kit. Fitted it myself and got the alignment done. The car didn’t look like it had lowered at all compared to the s line springs it was on but it was a firmer ride and definitely handled better so I...

    OK…. That’s my pet hate. Like when your working on your laptop, you go to open a file and it says it’s lost it… what do you have to click on…. OK! no, it’s not sodding ok. Your a complete arsetard of a machine and I want to throw you out of the window yet I have no choice but to click sodding...

    Rear thrumming sound

    Have you run your hand around your tyres to see if there is any stepping in the tread pattern. I had a similar problem on my old B7 and a change of tyres on the back sorted it instantly

    Coil Spring Seat

    Just about to change mine myself. Shocked at how corroded they are to be honest. Water has got into the N/S of mine and expanded the metal inside it so I’m changing them in the hope of evening out the ride height slightly.

    1.4 TFSI engine jerks

    So after almost 9 months of dead end repairs, annoyance and guesswork I’ve finally worked this one out. before this car I had a mondeo which needed new injectors. I got them replaced under warranty but the car never drove right afterwards. This was through lockdown so it was a nightmare getting...

    A4 Sport TFS Manual Flywheel needs to be changed

    I got my car with less than 20k on the clock and it had clutch judder and a dodgy flywheel. Not noticeable on the small test drive I was allowed to do. the garage I bought it from changed the clutch and the flywheel and it’s like a different car now. Way better to drive. I was told they have...

    Wheel spacers

    I have 10mm front and 12mm rear on my 19” multi spoke jobbies. Just the right combination I think and perfectly hub centric. I got them from a place called “the tyre shop” in north london. No vibration issues at all.
