roof aerial

[Gravitypilot]

lame subject! but roof aerial was snapped when i check it! i wandered why my radio was pants signal...

any recommendations? is it best to buy gen from audi?

[Ceveman73]

Same is happening to me - is it ok to buy one of the stumpy aerials from ebay, or must it be an oem Audi one?

im thinking oem, if it does anything todo with the gps which i think it does.. hopefully an audi nut will advise

maybe bruno will know

mart did you say you were going for a different hardcore coil over set?

do you have a link? im still deciding what todo with mine.

[scooby-tc]

if the base is still intact you can use any aerial as its only a screw in jobby,if you need the whole lot then OEM will be the answer

Bought mine on eBay for fifteen quid make sure it's a Hirschman

Going for the Ohlins Statis setup. Much more driver focused and available with a range of spring options. As they have larger internal resevoirs, it means you can run harder springs (improving the handling) whilst still being plush. Ask Doug from MRC to take you out in his S4 which has Ohlins, it's amazing. Very firm, yet still really plush - not harsh at all.

They are $3500 though, so you get what you pay for...

I fitted the RS6 Saloon aerial to my plus, very nice and works 100%

I don't have a picture to hand, but Unit 20 supplied it.

If I'd have known about those before getting the PSS9s I'd have grabbed them. How long have they been on the market? Where do the reservoirs install to and which srping rates have you been advised to fit?

[Shoppinit]

They look the dogs. I wonder what the height adjustment range is. I don't like the 'slammed' look and the PSS9 allow me (just about) to have stock height.

Gravy,

I got mine of ebay for £5.00 and its great..It a compact silver ariel that matches the colour of the roof railings...Soooo much better than the original!

If you're buying just the screw in bee-sting aerial make sure you get the one with 6mm male thread not 5mm which is for non sat nav audi cars - apparently
