try.. >>

when you're starting the car, try keeping the key in the "ON" position for a couple of seconds before cranking. That will be enough to prime the fuel pump and should take care of it.

is the car lowered?

if you got the right size tires they should not rub

yes, you can get 4x10mm

assuming you have a quattro (rear track narrower than FWD), many here get a bigger spacer for the rear to fill out...

no, just the straps but have been very happy with the performance

porsche TPMS which uses valvestem sensors is usually off by a few psi compared to hand-held gauges

give it time..

and a few hundred miles to wear off the mold release compound (ie, break'em in)

should get better

no tread on old tires can be a good thing for steering feel... until you drive in the wet ;)

i think the A3 is the same center bore (57.1mm)

same thread type 14x1.5, but different (5x112) bolt pattern

TT is 5x100

is the bolt pattern lining up?

the brake light switch often fails..easy to replace

and less than $10 for Audi or (same) VW part

you can pull and check with a multimeter to see if the circuit opens/closes when you push it

or just get a new switch and replace it

did you...

if I'm not mistaken the bolt pattern is wrong...>>

5x112 for the RS4

TT is 5x100

you can get converters but, imo, it's not worth the time or expense

PS&gt; you'd have to consider the offset too

i think you learned a hard lesson

i have a son who's about his age...

and you're right, the age thing has a bearing.. however, since he caused the damage, this is not the dealers fault and his dad will not get anywhere either

a 7-10K repair bill would make anyone...

my personal preference is to approach these things politely, going up the chain of command to the manager, AoA rep, etc.

you can keep it in a low gear and high RPM all day..

just don't downshift to a lower gear causing the engine to overrev

one mistake will do it, you're right

such anger...

that attitude will rarely get results, IMO

mechanical overrevs are bad news and the TT is an...

I don't see your point ..

I'm siding with the dealer on this one.
Any of us can make a mistake but we should deal with the consequences.

correct...

folks have run steelies for less than $50ea
you can get decent rims for $100ea
tirerack has OEM 6-spokes for only $149ea

I would recommend -1 sizing if you're getting new rims: go down to 16"...
