Bless ya. Hope you have fun! Yea I can make the 14th work.

Hey I'm good thank you, definitely still interested. I'm in the isle of man until Wednesday evening. Weekend would be ideal 13th.

Coil packs do fail. Odd the cats gone at the same time.

As the gearbox oil was changed recently it makes me think it's sensor related. I think it needs an Audi independent specialist.

Funnily enough I'm in the process of changing my suspension on my old A6 c5. From my understanding eibach pro kit are lowering springs. Bilstein b4 are or quality shocks. Steve Y recommend Kilen springs to me. But standard shocks and springs should suit your needs.

I'd recommend getting a second opinion from another Audi dealer or inspection from an Audi independent specialist.

Sorry to hear this. My Audi has also been in the family from New so I can empathise. Please keep us posted on how you get on

I also discovered I made a mistake regarding washers. I needed lock washers instead of normal ones.

Perfect thanks Steve 🙂 Will be good to get it all back together. A bit random, but I discovered bilstein UK based is in Leicester. Small world.

Thanks Steve 🙂 I've already trial fitted the bracket and suspension caps so I know they all fit with the new bolts. I have noticed though that the zinc coating seems to have come off the threads of the bolts. Is that normal? I've also rang kilen direct to get the exact part numbers for the springs I need. They do only heavy duty for the rear so I'll order them and standard for the front. I've also found a company who will strip a d powder coat the rear beam/axle and have offered to powder coat the new springs.

Christmas came early 🙂 Ordered new axle/beam brackets with bushes (one Lemforder and one meyle - it was cheaper this way rather than buying crap ones). Febi spring mounts. And all bolts.

Thanks Cliff

Sorry Steve for fretting.

Thank you Gareth
