Spent the whole day yesterday at WOM HQ where I finally got the suspension on my TDI 90 Sport replaced.
2x Spidan (Sport) Springs, Front.
4x Monroe OESpectrum Shock Absorbers,
2x Meyle Drop Links,
2x Cast Iron Wishbones,
Free advice,
Free Hot Tea and warm company.
Klaudia has now completed just shy of 195,000 miles, the original components fitted by the factory back in 2004 and removed by Marcus at WOM in 2020 were still in MOTable condition but generally very worn tired and corroded, so much so that the usually excellent ride and road holding of an A2 was being compromised and was nowhere near as smooth and refined as it should be. The front springs creaked and groaned on steering, the rear shocks dust covers rattled over any uneven road surfaces, sleeping policemen, speed bumps, kerbs and some slower jay walking pedestrians ☺ and it just didn't hold onto the road so well around corners like a Sport model really should so it badly needed doing.
The suspension has had these common wear and tear issues for a couple of years now and getting the suspension overhauled completely has pretty much been the last major thing to do on my now short to-do list.
Drove 180 miles home mostly on the deteriorating motorway network M1, A14 and M11. What a difference a day makes! A total transformation of the feel, responsiveness, acceleration ?, smoothness and steering feedback from the new parts making my 16 year old car feel like a brand new Audi.
I haven't had such a big smile on my face for so long and I'm still grinning now and it probably won't wear off for a very long time to come.
So a massive thank you again to Rob and Marcus at WOM. I always receive excellent friendly service, meticulous quality of work and very reasonable prices whenever I visit them, no wonder why I travel so far to get any important work done. I'm not mad, stupid or foolish, I use them because they are the best and most trusted i can find to look after my beautiful and much loved Audi.
Here's to another 200,000 miles of Vorsprung durch Technik in my little Aluminium bubble.
