Put air in the rear left tyre twice!
Pressure warning light came on going to work this morning. Looks like a slow puncture as it had dropped 5psi by lunch time. Couldn't see a nail or anything so will need to have a better look when I get home tonight.
Grrrrr

Have the same thing. Rear left deflates from 35 to 27 psi over the course of week or so if left standing, can't see anything in the tyre though...

On the plus side, I just washed the car for the first time in about a fortnight. All is shiny again.

Had been parked up more or less since Thursday, probably done less than 10 miles over holiday wkend. 5mins from house today and the warning goes off, was down to 23psi.

At least it should be repairable.

"And the award for most pointless location for a logo goes to..."

Possibly the daftest place for logo I've seen barring the one on a Belstaff jacket I have which is inside the pocket...

Still, as you say, it's in a repairable location, so there shouldn't be to much further drama.

Yep, you'll have all the crop circle mentalists speculating about where the alien race that calls itself "xxaMtropS polnuD" comes from...

Of course, they might just think it's a an advertising gimmick like someone leaving a trail leading to a new Polish deli...

Boot liner looks good. And a bit jealous that it fits whilst in the lowest position. The official Audi one doesn't fit like that, only when false floor is up which i hate as it limits space. might hack it up to get it to fit!

Yeah that's the reason I didn't go for the Audi one. This one doesn't fit in well when in the higher position but figured I would have it in the lower position 99% of the time.

Think it was only £16 from eBay too which helps

OEM, came with paint, I guess they're factory rejects... Mercedes used to have a subsidiary in Germany selling factory surplus or rejected parts, they grade them and usually are just very very minor imperfections, used to get all my AMG parts from them cheap LOL They're long closed down now I guess MB just didn't think it was worth it to the brand. Wonder if Audi is doing something like this...

Have you left the false floor bit in? I'm wondering if i take mine out fully, if the boot liner will then fit.

@pastey Can I ask where you got your boot liner from? I have 2 dachshund puppies coming soon, and that looks ideal.

Yes mate false floor is still in on the lower setting as it gives protection to the spare wheel (with sub In )

How is everyone? Not been on for a while but was back on looking for info on Brake Discs. Think mine are warped, getting a bit of a shudder when braking heavy ish. only done 24k miles too..

Under warranty? A family member had new disks and pads I believe all round on a Jaguar when he had similar symptoms.

Get the GTI Clubsport rotors, decently priced, direct swap and floating rotor! On another note, it's somewhat difficult to wrap a disc, your shudder could due to rust spot, might be worth it to physically check for rust spot, and maybe a few high speed heavy braking to get them off if that's the case...
