Ta, I thought the rolling resistance would only be affected by the tyre depth not width. IIRC they should be 265/40/20, mines had replaced with 275/40/20. I was looking for a second set of wheels anyway as I intend at some point having these refurbed

Not sure on different codings as not really looked into that.

Ref troubleshooting, this is where I lost my rag a bit with them….. they’ve basically plugged in, not found faults, visually inspected and not found anything, test driven and not has a clue how they should drive……

As part of the fault finding process I would try original OEM tyre/alloy sizes and compare to a known good working car with the same setup.

Additionally, just like D2 has different springs for cars with different wheels/equipment/body, different suspension codings must exist for air suspension of a D4?

What were the troubleshooting steps of the garages which attempted diagnosis?

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
