Re: B9 delays - what might you do?

No idea what to get - Tried an RS3 - was nice BUT it would piss me off the news of a FL being imminent C7 is too big, we have an SQ5 in the house so that ticks the boxes for dog haulin...

Re: Water pump / thermostat recall?
There was a TSB but not sure it was a recall. Mine had it done when it was venting steam out of the bonnet.....although this only affected early cars 2009-early 2010. After that they had the new parts.

Harsh braking on mine from at 60+ is now causing bad vibrations

Getting quite frustrating now What are yours doing? Mine seem to struggle to stop the car and they ...

Re: Momentary power loss?
Had the same thing twice now in 4 months. Shrugged it off but thought it was strange at the time. Seems odd now reading quite a few people with it.

Dent
Typical. Driving home and a branch bounced off the bonnet and I now have an inch long dent on it. Its pretty minor but knowing me it will annoy the hell out of me. Cant see any further damage yet since the car is covered in road salt / mud and its bloody windy outside. Hope it won't cost a lot to pu...

Re: RS4 vs 335d
Strange comparison. Nice cars the new 3 series, but it would depend entirely on how much mileage I was doing. Lower the mileage I would take the petrol equivalent everytime. 435i or S4. There is some cracking discounts to be had on either of them if you push. M135i if you can take the looks and the ...

Re: EVO magazine write up - dynamic steering
I have dynamic steering and it's ok, but it's taking me a while to get used to it coming from my S4 which was hydraulic. Not a massive fan of comfort since it's far too light for me.

Re: Squeaky brakes
I've had the counter weights put onto mine now and it's pretty much sorted it. I say pretty much I've heard the squeak a couple of time but it's a million times better. Doesn't sound like a bus anymore
