    I have a 2003 1.8T wagon with 115k miles and I'm hearing an intermittent popcorn type sound from the front passenger side. If I drive for a while then I'll sometimes hear it at low speeds like 20mph. It is a very low muffled sound but if I put my foot on the brake pedal I can feel it. The...

    I grabbed a b6 S4 front sway bar in the yard. I noticed when I got back that the ends were slightly different. Don’t know if anybody has had any experience with suspension upgrades. I’ve already done ST coilovers and C5 A6 uprights and lower control arms. Still feels like the front end needs a...

    My wife has a 2012 S model with the 2.5L 5 cylinder and one of the brackets that mounts the sway bar to the subframe broke. You can't replace just the brackets because of piss poor design (bracket is welded around the bushing) so i bought a replacement sway bar. From what I'm reading, I'll...

    Hiya! Long time no see. Have an ‘03 1.8 turbo sedan. The other day I had a rhythmic rub sound from the front passenger wheel area, slowing down and then slowly speeding up, like something was coming around and rubbing against something else on each revolution. Fine at speed. Next day I was going...
