Re: Rear coil springs

Purchased a set direct from Audi last year no problem.

The rear springs tend to break at the tips and the car drops an inch or so.

Re: Rear Brake discs

Have a new set ready to fit, ill look up what i paid.

Good news is, still on original set at 69k miles. Had them skimmed once mid life, just gone below min thickness. So although they arent cheap, i cant complain at 1 set sinve 2006 !

Re: Secondary Air Pump - Faulty? VCDS test method...

So update, i ran the output tests again and no apparent problems, pump runs and valves actuate ok, no sign of a leak issue. Decided to run the readiness test in VCDS and both sides passed..... As the codes are both sides, i am thinking intermittent fault. Relay, solenoid valve, etc? SAI Readiness.JPG

Re: Secondary Air Pump - Faulty? VCDS test method...

Replaced the pump, see my other thread on my rebuild, carbon clean etc. The pump was dead, replaced with new one, working fine now. However...... same two codes are coming back up. So, coincidently there must be more than one fault with the system. Engine light came on again today. I've noticed the ...

Re: Dynamic steering

Interesting, the solenoids can fail and it becomes a basic rack in that scenario, if you cant feel any difference at low (pulling off) speeds, i would look into it, it is noticeable and i have always enjoyed it in car parks etc, you feel it weight up as you move off.

Re: Dynamic steering

Normal. Its servotronic steering on our cars. I like it, its noticable - the extra assist at low speeds then reduces to improve feedback when driving.

Re: Intrument cluster/ driver speaker rattle?

I had this. It was the air instake duct up inside the front drivers wing. May be in my posts history, i recall taking the arch liner away and shoving a rag inside there to prove it.
