Cheers Davs, Appreciate the input. Excuse my 'noobness' whats a DTS? and where can i find some info on the air box mod? Im aiming to have £1k spare each month to spend on it, well maybe less over the xmas period! The brembo upgrade is around £3k? if so I think i will stick to the RS6 or B7 upgrade.

RE: Relay clicking without following faults

iirc there are a few relays to the right of the steering wheel just above the little cubby hole, if its around there im sure a process of elimination of what those relays do.

It may sound silly but its not your keys knocking on the steering cowling? (just a thought)

With the ESP switched off under the same conditions the car accelerates perfectly, now wheel spin of sketchy...
