I was advised the brake cooling recall and the s-tronic flash had been done yes. Haven't physically checked the former.

I'll reserve judement as it has just over 100 miles on it since picking up yesterday but as sonorous as the 5-pot is / reminiscent of cold winter days in A forest watching Group B Audi's flying past it's not a non-res V8. :boohoo:

You did me there, I collected my TTRS on the sat and didn't mod it til Monday! All joking aside mate it does make a huge difference once mapped. You are right about the noise tho, it's not in the same league as an RS4 with Miltek - I do miss that sound!
