Yep, I've said this elsewhere, but to repeat: my car drives much better with 0090.

Looks pretty normal for an RS4 running 0080 SW to me.

That was mine before 0090. To be precise, probably only that bad if i had left it cold on the drive, and started it up to move only into the garage.

Your video does show very much the colour to be more rich than blue. Which proves the 0090 vs. 0080 point.

No, living with the lumpiness for the first mile at the moment but getting it done at the next service.

Yes, which is why I intend to ask Rob to make sure 0090 is installed when I book in for my next service.
