What have you done to your 8V today?

Under warranty? A family member had new disks and pads I believe all round on a Jaguar when he had similar symptoms.

No unfortunately not. Just out of warranty in January.

Thanks Larbel, will have a good look and see if it might be that.

Get the GTI Clubsport rotors, decently priced, direct swap and floating rotor! On another note, it's somewhat difficult to wrap a disc, your shudder could due to rust spot, might be worth it to physically check for rust spot, and maybe a few high speed heavy braking to get them off if that's the case...

Good shout, have also had another family member with this issue after the car was washed, parked up then not driven for ages

Just buddy marvellous!!!!
Drove to work this morn and was following a Porker 991 Carrera, I was at least 5car lengths away and he flicked a stone at me!
IMG 9236 Before
I ran off and bought a 3M windscreen repair kit...........
IMG 9237 Working it................
IMG 9241 After one sitting............

Will put another layer to fill the pit.
Even though insurance would pay for a new screen it's the hassle of installing my cam and the retro fitted dimming rear view.

That looks a big improvement, but doesn't your insurance cover you for windscreen repairs? Normally it's about £10.
 
Trying out these new kumho ps91 tires for the track. So far they are doing pretty well. Will be aggressive with them tomorrow.

Painted all the brake calipers (they look silver but thats the work lights on them) there actually graphite grey so will blend in with the wheels (still need decals)
fitted some audi puddle lights, cleaned and sealed all the wheels again.
Fitted my private plate and audi surround


















really not happy with my exhaust tips.... either i buy genuine audi tips or i go for a back box. but i need to look around i doubt im going to get one for 500 so tips might be a better option for me

Hi Guys, just fitted H+R spacers front and back (15mm rear, 10mm front). Delighted with the look, not too close to the arches but enough to really improve the look of the car i think.

Rob are these mats still available? Tried to load up the profile tagged but coming up with an audi sport error. My drivers side is starting to wear so these would be ideal

Many Thanks.
I've got a A3 saloon so not sure if that makes any difference with the footwell sizes.

No should be fine I'll make sure I say Saloon as that may make a difference although I think Saloon and Sportback will be the same.

Hi Rob.

What type is your USB phone cable?

And how much were the new tips? Mine are pitted and poor finish - Audi dealer had never cleaned them in the 3 months they had the car from new. I cleaned them up, but still not 100% happy.

Cheers
