Ohlins thrown on and CV boot replacement todayOooooh, nobody likes dirty balls.Much better! Weird OEM plastic boots. I thought they were rubber!Mmmm, tasty.Tasty goods out back too Spot on ride height. The Ohlins aren't for slamming

Least I didn't pay full price for it Have you tried to WOT after partial throttle pressure? The engine responsiveness is much better and it's a noticeable improvement. Go drive on a canyon road and try to remember how your throttle response was before.

Interestingly enough, I took out my DV+ and refitted my old revision D OEM last week and it drives better!
Will change to alloy wishbones with new ball bearings and super pro anti lift kit at the same time.. Never done any of this work, so would have been nice with a guy who know the best way hehe. Would you tighten the bolt to compress the spring more than I've done now or better to wait when it on the car?

Didn't want slammed myself either and found the VWR springs were perfect. Ohlins though! They have only ever had an amazing write up whenever I have read about them. Look forward to hearing your thoughts about them...!

Wasn't there with the g, Is this normal?

Wasn't there with the g, Is this normal?They do have a little mouse squeak when you let off on part throttle, all normal. I'm the same mate, can't really feel any difference between rev D and GFB DV+. Both are better than rev G though, weirdly. Funny engines these!
Nuff saidEven gave my engine bay a shine while i was at it
The problem that people share about the rev D diverter valve is that after some use it starts to leak boost pressure. At 1st you might not notice any difference but it will push more the turbo to meet the required boost pressure. The GFB DV+ shuts the air recirculation fast, doesn't leak boost and holds pressure when releasing the throttle which makes it quick for the turbo to recover the required boost pressure if the throttle is pressed fast enough.People who aren't happy with it can sell it and make someone else happy, I guess.
Rossimac Fixed a lot of canbus-gateway faults (not coded just right) fixed and enabled cruise control for me,
Except my cruise control is working the same as a mk6 golf, polo6R etc as in the green light comes on when it's enabled rather than stays on all the time. We don't know quite how it happened Also lost volume control from my mfsw on my rns315 if anyone has any ideas on how to to fix it?
CAUTION: the RNS315 head unit will work fine in any mk5 or mk6 car. However, because the RNS315 only came in cars with the white instrument cluster, the steering wheel buttons and MFD menu options will not work if you have a red instrument cluster. The head unit will otherwise work fine by itself. If you have a white instrument cluster everything should work. This is because the RNS315 only came in cars that used BAP communications which was in white instrument cluster cars. The other radios were also available in cars that used DDP communications which affects the steering wheel and MFD display.

Good catch...what was your miles at time of service? Just helped a local having just purchased an 08 A4 with 180k miles on it. I looked at the service records showing no cam follower service done. I told him his CF is most likely shot. He found it to be true as well as the intake cam and hpfp piston. He's in the process of replacing all the bits now Oil selection is big...was using Dealer recommended Castrol 5w40-full syn for years and having to replace my CF in upgraded hpfp every 10k miles. Switched to German LiquiMoly 5w40 full syn and now get 20k miles between CF replacements.
