Oh I’ve seen those files and I’ve read the manual to try see what differences there were to my d3 etc.. I had that for over 7 years and knew it inside out. The differences in suspension aren’t that many between d3/d4. I’m on the hunt for coding etc to check. The tyre/wheel sizes I’d checked Against the door sticker

A friend and I have already reset the suspension to factory to see if that helped any just in case someone had been messing about. And we have since lowered via vcds which in a small way seemed to help slightly with the handling and ride, although I do still get the car skipping across the road sometimes especially on full lock

And then compare the factory coding/tyre size/spec to yours etc and make sure its all correct.

There's lots of dodgy VCDS people around that will lower your car with vcds for £80 to make it 'stanced' and all that, and you just can't know what the previous owner's lifestyle choices were

Had a few Audis over the years, mostly early stuff, newest was a D3 prior to my D4, nothing much kept me smitten with other marques so I floated about a bit from one thing to another until that four ring lure caught hold
