Log it with Audi customer service, google the number. A8 owners should or used to have a separate line with no need to hold. The RS 6 owners' young daughter could have been badly injured, hence why they are bending over backwards to help him. They can't match the material on the seats as it has been discontinued so I don't know what they're going to do, let him keep the brand new S6?

So, PM me your name and email address TBW and I'll kick off an email chain - probably from me to her, cc you (e.g. thanks for your time, great day out etc. do you recall me explaining about a bizarre material failure on an A8 etc...)

Yet again thanks for taking the time to raise the issue but it won't be going any further.
After stripping down the rear suspension there is a problem with the bushes on the drivers side. I've got the B7 RS4 rear brakes on my car and there seems to be an issue with spacing between where the hub connects to the lower control arm. The nearside does not have this problem. I've ordered another control arm and hub from A8 Parts to compare with the existing setup along with a new set of bushes and bolts from TPS. So it wasn't Audi component failure it was a problem with the mod.
