Glad you're pleased with your c8 🙂 might be able to get the phonebox retrofitted. Autologics have been used by members with positive results

Okay Gareth, I've just done what you suggested and went back to the same online insurance company and entered details of the 911 (it was a 2005 plate) I sold last week. The quote came back 72% higher than last year! So you were indeed correct - its the premiums that have sky rocketed this year! So in fact my change to the A4 has saved me lot of money on insurance! Many thanks for your sage advice 🙂 Cheers, Colin

Many thanks Colin, You could also do a quote for the 911, with a start date of say 21 days hence, so you have a true period for period comparison. What year was the 911 as a matter of interest? Kind regards, Gareth.

There has been some great collaboration and shared experiences here. It does appear this could be the result of loading and road conditions, however if the car was mine I'd still have it checked.

Hi when was the last time you drove on the M25/M1 at speeds off 70mph, and at no point did I say that it was all cars I explained that different steering set ups behave in a different way on that type of surface also explaining that the Audi set up being finely tuned was susceptible to this type of problem on sub standard surfaces, this opinion is based on thousands of miles of travel on a lot of different roads the aforementioned roads being the worst, as for claiming all VAG vehicles are the same, never said that either, that ranks along side with the old saying for pubs, are you calling my pint a tart, I am glad Keith grasped the point of what I was saying before he rushed off to buy new suspension, tyres, tracking, its a problem with the surface, NOT THE CAR. Steve.

So I've had the car for a week now, and I can say I'm impressed with it. The TFSI is a lot smoother than the C7 TDI I had previously and it responds really quickly. The tech is crazy better than the C7. My single gripe is the removal of the Audi phone box, with the wireless charger, but it's not a big gripe.

I’m still biased towards loading and appropriate tyre pressures as being the principal contributors, with road conditions as the aggravator.
