Set of four Audi Pepperpots for sale 6j x15 et38 pcd 5x100 Forged, not cast. Extremely strong and lightweight. 5.6kg per wheel. Increased mpg/better handling/lower unsprung mass. As seen on the Race of Champions buggies. These were kept in storage for 17 yrs and have only had two winters use out of ...

That was my first thought initially. I checked the other ones, they have about 6mm tread and there’s no sign of sawtoothing. When I had them balanced and realigned they were already bang on. I’m wondering if it’s a wheel bearing starting to go, but I thought that might be noisier. The noise is white...

Hi, wondering if anyone can help me identify the strange noise coming from my BlueGT. It’s a 17 plate with 64k miles and I changed from my 15” winters to 17” summers a few weeks ago. I thought the car seemed noisier but put it down to the larger wheels. There has been a strange droning/almost rumbli...

How much do the 17 inch VW Motorsport alloys weigh, compared against the Montani?

Hi, does anyone know the maximum torque limit of the OEM clutch in the 1.4 Tsi act MT? I know the car puts out 250Nm, but is the clutch at its limit with this output?

In the last week I’ve noticed my brakes feel more spongy and there is more pedal travel. They were always quite positive before, but they’re definitely mushier now. It’s been to a mechanic, and the pads and ducks are absolutely fine and there’s nothing obviously wrong and no ABS fault codes. He test...

Hello, does anyone know if the BlueGT is equipped with twin tube or monotube dampers as standard? Also, has anyone tried running their car in Bilstein B4’s, and if so, was there any discernible difference in ride quality and handling?
