Newbie B7 Avant Owner

Post by norman1979 » Mon Feb 08, 2016 1:45 pm

Long time lurker on this particular forum and have been looking to buy a B7 for a number of years but ended up changing my mind and buying other vehicles instead.

I have finally pulled the trigger on a Phantom Black facelift Avant with a fairly decent spec: Buckets, Flat Bottom, Black optics and rear heated seats.
I also *think* it has SS+ but im not 100% sure. Can anybody confirm?

Nice!
To find out what suspension you have check the Sticker at the front of your service book or the Sticker on the floor of the boot (under the cover). One of the options should be something like 2MC or 2ME I think. One of the pervs will tell you which is which or just Google it.

Google back to this forum:
2MC is the standard RS4 "sports" suspension, 2ME is sports suspension plus or super sports suspension.

Welcome

Congrats; fastest colour and fastest shape lol :biggrin3:

As Mike says with the codes for SS+

That will tell you what was fitted in Production, then you will need to check its all still as per spec ie still DRC fitted or modified?

A quick lift on ramps or Jack it up and climb under

Good luck with the car

Think it's a forum prerequisite, so you're not alone.

I couldn't locate a Sticker in the boot without taking the battery out and taking all the foam padding around the battery out

Confirmed with Audi that it does infact have Sports Suspension Plus :kissmyrings:

Welcome :thumb:

Another place you can find info like the suspension etc is on the inner page of the service manual. There is a website hi can enter all the codes and it'll give you a full list of the spec/options you car has
