I agree! Be good to know. You got any work booked in with AMD mate?
Not yet mate, I'll tackle most jobs myself. Heard AMD is a good place to go tho wheres you nearest as I was looking at Amersham for when I get a bit stuck.
They are good I'm getting everything on mine done through them - probably do pay a premium but they are good and know alot more than I do! Haha - and Lakeside is only 25 mins from me so not far to go

Update :
Got a call from AMD and unfortunately wont be able to get KWâs V1s by the 30th but I can however get the equivalent spec Bilsteins - can anyone tell me what Bilsteins these would be ?
----> Think I answered my own question Bilsteins b14?
Cheers
****UPDATE****
Car has been with AMD all day and have got the b14 's, arbs and zero sixty discs and Mintex pads on and couldn't be happier ! Has massively transformed how the handling feels - will try and post some pics tomorrow for everyone
Sadly there was a couple of problems
Firstly- the dsg software update didn't work again so will have to wait until more updates are released
Secondly - the car front wheels had been spinning recently but i thought this could be normal with the power and it wasnt to bad - however ben at AMD told me my car had flagged up a fault being the Haldex Clutch Pump - open circuit - intermittent . So a call to audi to get it done while car is still under warranty !
More updates and pics to follow soon!
Man I just did mine Haldex pump under warranty how strange! No TD1 problems with mine however I always put old stuff on the car before taking it for any warranty repair.
Looks like they'll only post a TG1 if they see any mods, it doesn't look automatic through the ECU scan.
However when I take it for a service I only change the intake as its very obvious modification other than that had no problems with the milltek fitted on the car while they were doing last 2 services.

Well I think it's stupid how I've told them what the problem is but they still want to see the car before they order parts !? I have one free service left at my dealers then all over to AMD in the future.
Is the Haldex Clutch pump a common fault then ? Will fixing it open up other faults on the Haldex?
I think it's just dealer protocols.
The pump does seem to be a failure point but there's no reason why that should leave it open to other problems.
Well I'm hoping it getting fixed won't show up the whole haldex unit needing changing because that will be bad haha

Haldex pump fitted from audi cost nearly £500 which is not that bad considering pump on its own is about £160. In any case it puts doubts that the car will be reliable once the warranty expires.
They are good brakes! Is it normal for them to be really squeaky!?
No problem - they also make strange sort of continuous clicking noise when pressing them ? Not sure if that's just a wearing In thing again!

What's the problem with DSG software? I may be able to help...
Now you need bigger wheels . How do you find ride on the new suspension?
I was talking to AMD about this and they said not to do it as handling wont be as good as the 18's ! I do like the 19 black edition rotor wheels though!
By the way - what was the reason your Haldex clutch pump went? was your fault "defective - intermittent" OR "open circuit - intermittent" do you know the difference??
it was open circuit - intermittent, and I dont know the difference is unfortunately, maybe its down to some pump wiring or similar only guessing though. Wish I knew more about cars sometimes!.
BTW are you not looking for a milltek downpipe?.
