Hi don't bother with the expensive gizmos as it will only make the handling wayward, invest in a set of standard Avant springs as I believe the S Line is 25-30mm lowered from the factory, you will have to get it re aligned on a HUNTER four wheel tracking machine, change the front and rear springs otherwise it will dive at the front when braking.

Hello, Thanks for all the information in the posts about a 'missing' space saver wheel. I have just received my space saver from the Wheel Shop (https://www.thewheelshop.co.uk/). It was for a 2019 A4 Avant B9 and it fitted perfectly. I was a little nervous about buying it, as it is difficult to measure the available space in 3D. They were very helpful with my telephone enquiry and despatch was very quick. I have also ordered the foam insert for the tools and I'm ready for a driving holiday in France!

Just a sympathetic note and hope you've got it sorted. I have the same engine in the Allroad and although I'm no mechanic does it show the lag in both D and Sport? Only ask as it sounds software related I think. Either way, good luck in getting a fix. Michael

Hi I think you answered your Question in the last sentence which equates to not a lot, all these engines were tested to destruction and when they break they take them to pieces to find out what caused the failure, they strengthen the offending part and up the torque/ BHP slightly, if it works well they just keep upping the power to way past the intended production run power, then whatever the engine has achieved up to 45% above the production Torque/BHP if it runs ok they reduce that figure by 45% to the production run power, thats your reliability factor, if you bear this in mind with the age of your car you are just putting more strain on an old engine thats made it this far with no real issues/wear and I bet if it all goes pear shaped and bits start failing he wont want to know unless it involves more money.
