Hi Team, Can you help please help. Just had new rear springs fitted but the result isn’t what I or the local garage expected. Supplier has checked the colour code on original spring and has advised, correct springs have been supplied. I don’t remember seeing the seat area where the bottom of the broken spring sat but the seats where the new springs sit appear incorrect but they have to be there. Car sitting approx. 30mm too high, 264mm springs supplied. Last photo is as car sat approx. 4 weeks ago. Please see photos, any advice would be really appreciated. Ian

Hi All, For those who replied to my post a few weeks ago and anybody else who may have similar problems. Unfortunately I never got to speak to the guy who fixed my car but the diagnostic check picked up near side rear issue, this is where I mentioned the corroded deposit came from. ABS sensor replaced on that corner has resolved the issue. Bit of a coincidence I'm thinking but all good now.

Hi Gareth, Yep, I'll check first off but still not sure why I've got all this on the dash because of. Currently on holiday, not in the A6 of course, timing was to perfection if you know what I mean Ian

Hi Gareth, Thanks for the info. but the corroded steel was quite thick as per the outer corroded edge of a brake disc, also, I didn't use a pressure washer, just a hose. I'm guessing I'm going to have to get it plugged in for a diagnosis. Cheers Gareth Regards Ian

Cheers Steve, keep you posted Ian

Hi All, Been a member for a while but this is my first post. A6 2.0 TDI 2010 Le Man's. Just had ABS and ESP lights come on dash with complimentary headlight range and none functioning parking brake warnings too. Recently washed car and on moving it, found rear brake disc corroded pieces on the drive. Car drives fine but can anybody advise as to why I've now got these warning lights please.
