RE: Garages- trusting them with our pride and joy

I stand in the engine bay whilst the MOT is being done, if they want to go for a road test it is with me in the passenger seat, otherwise they dont get paid.

Dampers and springs my experience.

If you mean the RS4 GMBH set up, I am "reliably informed" this set up is very hard indeed, harder than H&R coilovers. Stock RS4 is softer than both, but after much playing around, one of the comfiest options is to fit H&R coilovers, BUT set the ride height low, this is the key point: - with a lower ...

Wheel Spacers

I am trying to clear a set of Movit brake calipers (on a B5 S4) without rubbing the tyre on the wheel arch - so I am looking for 5mm (or less) wheel spacer with the correct tapered lip that fits the standard 17" wheel and hub - not a MTM version with a lip. Anyone with any thoughts on how I can achi...

Have AMD been working on customer relations?

I just want to comment positivly on the way AMD have seemed to improve their attention to us customers. And - If AMD make sure that the comunication with the technicians is open and clear they will be onto a massive winning formula. With the Audi main dealers it is IMHO a complete frustration and a ...

Re: Tyres & steering - Tram lining at speed???

Hi all, Thanks for the thoughts, I have done some more research. I have come to the conclusion its the So3's or the Toe settings. I have just had the alignment done at AMD along with new front arms and bushes. This is what I have found in the last months. 1 - H&R's removed the standard S4 tramlining...

Tyres & steering - Tram lining at speed???

The front tyres have about 2mm of tread before the wear indicator and not badly scrubbed (as we have just swapped them front to rear). On fast - less than s...
