Ive had APs for a few years and I really rate them. Firm and not harsh at all.

Its insane how smooth these AP coilovers are. The tyres used to rub the fronts ever so slightly but I raised it a bit and its perfect now. I don't want it any lower anyway. The rears don't come close to the arch. It only rubs on the soft arch liners ever so slightly sometimes. Stock arches with...

Just watched a Jackie Chan film called Bleeding Steel on Netflix tonight and there is a car chase scene where he is driving a B7. Check it out.

This also happened to my BRD. Now sorted with a modified oil pump drive and new turbo. Just think, once the planned obsolescence wipes out most of the B7s the remaining ones will a bit of a rarity.

Thanks for the tip :)

Team BRD My oil pump drive packed in and took the turbo with it. As I am keeping my B7 long term I opted to have it all fixed. Otherwise it is a costly fix and you have to weigh up your options vs the value of the car

I would be up for this :)

Ive had my 2.0 TDi BRD 170 for 2 years now and I have never seen any smoke come out the exhaust. Even after giving it some beans to clear out the `cobwebs`. Nothing at all. I was hoping to eject some black sooty mess out the system:yes:

Agreed. OE S-Line suspension is solid and way harder than it needs to be. Since I changed to AP Coilovers the ride on my 235/35/19s is very smooth. Supple and soaks up the bumps. And it sits nice and low :)

Looks spot on Rob

Its normally around 100k they go. I have heard of cars with higher mileages that have not yet failed. However as you say it could be a ticking time bomb. The hex drive design is very weak. It is criminal that Audi did not do a recall.

Oil Pump drive gave up at 102k miles. Replaced with an uprated unit. Also needed a new turbo due to oil starvation.

I use Castrol Edge FST 5w30 VW 504 00/ 507 00

Silver is good but that wheel colour in your pic looks great. No darker though.

Is there a method of taking the surround off without snapping tabs?

Ive started to sand down the surround. Appears to be chrome/metal under the factory paint. Not decided what to do with it yet.

Nice looking aftermarket front bumper that

19" Rotors :)

That would be great. Or as close as you can to the original colour :)

Thanks Rob. Looks great and goes very nicely :)
