I had a similar thing where I replaced both discs and pads at the same time but from the get-go they were rubbing. The calipers wound back fine and I had cleaned out and re-greased all sliders and the calipers were moving freely. The lines were even replaced and re-bled but there was still too...
^Insane pricing. I've had black ones from the bay on my car for two years now and they are still going strong. I just avoid direct wheel cleaner spray on them (as expected).
I followed the A5OC guide above and it worked fine, currently running 2019 maps. It is quite nerve racking to do first time round as there is a possibility of bricking your MMI but if you double check everything it's fine. Saves a lot of money!
I found the mirror wouldn't return to the same spot and over a couple of reverses you would need to re-align the mirror! Sometimes in reverse I wouldn't want it to drop either so now-a-days I have it off by default by having the switch in another position. I'll use it if only needing to reverse...
The official ones are quite subtle in my opinion although the new ones appear to be plain red which I'm not as much of a fan of.
Here's mine, I have front and back but couldn't find a rear picture atm.
Are the LED versions more yellow than the DRLs? The colour looks a little different in the photos.
I bought the none LED and whilst they match the main beam very well, ideally I want them to match the DLRs as these come on with the fogs when the car is unlocked - which is where I see them the most.
I had a drone sound when one of mine went. The car sounded like an airplane and got louder and louder with milage. I've read they don't cause wheel wobble when shot, the bearings are locked in and can only be heard at certain speeds so jacking up and spinning and rocking the wheel you won't find...
Here is one of the threads about this rake problem and how the rubber stop can be trimmed down to reduce the height or springs swapped for the sportlines.

From what I've read it will drop a little more once settled but the back still remains a bit higher which has caused some people to shorten the rubber stops as mentioned.
Hi, this is quite common on Avants with this setup. On the Audizine forums a lot of people have trimmed down the rubber bump stops that the rear springs sit in to reduce the ride height further.
I have the same engine (143) with the emissions recall adjustment and have managed 61.7MPG according to the car’s computer. This was 150 mile trip with 50 mile an hour road works etc. I normally manage to hit just over the 50MPG mark on my way to work which is 35 miles on mainly motorway.
