How're they stuck on/ how did you remove them? I'm looking to probably debadge entirely.

Will a heat-gun do it or are there holes through the sheet metal?

Hair dryer and fishing line. Don't use a heat gun, its too hot. Just heat it a little, and then slide the fishing line underneath. You'll need to clean and wax when you get it off.

I had the same issue when I picked up my 2014 S4 I heard the excact noise that you described and when i took it back to the dealership they said that they had forgot to remove the spring spacers, but ever since car runs fantastic!

The A3 was not getting it done, just too slow and no technology within the car.

Quick question/complaint, have you experienced a hollow/loose sound in the rear when you go over any small bumps. Its almost as if the spare tire is not secured, which it is. Any ideas?

Hmmm I wonder if i should have them check that... I also have a very strange clicking noise from the steering wheel. Anyone else have this issue?

I hear all kinds of relays clicking from my foot well which may sound like they are coming from the steering wheel. It happens more often when I drive in a spirited fashion.

Dang I have the same situation. Once always at startup, then any kind of "fun" driving
