Been trying to register this weekend as I need to get some info on my B6 S4 but it doesn't seem to work.

I enter a username and e-mail to get an e-mail of my password but nothing ever turns-up? Then if I try to re-enter that log-in name it says it's 'reserved' then I try and click that I have forgotten my password to get an e-mail but again nothing is sent.

Definately registering with valid usernames and my usual e-mail address. Got no way to contact them without a log-in so don't know what is wrong.

Can anyone help me out please?

Looking for the front tracking figures (Toe in MM or Minutes) as the tracking needs re-doing. Audi won't tell me because they are barsterds.

Also Audi have just changed the front shocks and it is running very very high at the front now, the left side in particular is very high.

Was wondering if this is normal and will settle down or they have just fobbed me off with standard A4 struts? So wanted to find somewhere to check the part number of the struts they have fitted.

ETA: Car is a B6 S4 Avant Manual (the best kind)

Checked your email spam filters at your ISP? Could have snagged the reply.

I have never had any problems before, have checked Junk folder but nothing there either.

Thanks mate, this is much appreciated.

I'm just out to get the part numbers of the struts they have fitted.



This is a comparison of how high it's sitting:

According to the guys on 246 it should settle down soon (so long as there ar no problems). One guy did suggest that you approach your local tyre / alignment place as they will have all the correct alignment figures on the database. You just need to give them your VIN / Reg no and they will look it up.

Cheers pal, I have checked that the springs are located correctly today and it all looks fine (although they clearly had a nightmare undoing the bolts, stinks of WD40 and hammer marks on everything).

I think half the problem was that the old shocks were so completely fked that the car was sitting lower than normal. Looking back at old pics it seems to have got lower over the year and so now looks very high in comparison.

It does feel so much better now though, like a proper car again and the horrific understeer has gone.

Cool. At least it looks like they have done it right then.
