You may have seen my earlier post where we found yet another broken spring (driver's side this time).
The local Audi stealer let me down and didn't order the parts when requested. They won't be in until early next week. Problem is that my mechanic is going on two weeks holidays and I don't think we can wait that long.
The car has got worse. Lots of grinding noise the the ARB clattering off the suspension (as the car is too low due to the broken spring). The knocking happens on the slightest bump and I'm afraid it will do more damage.
Am I mad considering a DIY? I don't have a spring compressor, but reckon I could pick one up pretty cheap that would do the job. I have ordered the spring and top bearing so will do both. I presume the hardest part is removing and reinstalling the suspension strut?
Any advice would be appreciated.
