Was your vacuum pipe squashed? This probably happened when the car was built...

Mine was replaced with a mod from Camberley to stop any possible kinking in the future.

Forgot to mention that the front shocks were also replaced with the latest mods.

It's good to here that Audi Hull are also 'on the ball'.

This just shows how thick Ipswich Audi is. Considering how well documented the issues are with the vacuum system affecting the power in these cars, you'd think that this would be the first thing they would check, especially as they have alledgedly been reading this forum? It is so frustrating when you have to do someone else's job for them.

Delighted to hear it's fixed. From memory that means that all significantly underpowered cars from the RR day have been diagnosed and sorted

Agree that's it's hard to convert Dyno readings to accurate BHP, but as a comparative tool it does the business
