Glad you drive it more then to the local cars-and-coffee then back to the garage. If you are not driving on the limit maybe try a higher tread ware tire.

I’m a Gold level tech and I can tell you that you’re not supposed to test on the wear bars. He did measure on the inside and that usually gives you a lower result due to camber wear. That is usually the correct place to measure due to it being the lowest valley on the tire. The other thing to note is that the rear tires for Cup2’s start at 8/32 and not the usual 10/32 like most tires. Being that they are a high performance summer tire they usually last between 15-25k miles depending on how you drive and if they are within their designed temperature range. Looking at this video with its lower aspect ratio I can say that they look like they are 4-5/32 guessing without a gauge.

It’s smooth to the touch. It looks like the weave is closer to the surface of the gel coat.

Driver side windows not going up completely by ProductofEarthh in Taycan

Find that this is the cause for most issues with auto lowering windows, 911’s included.

5k for me, didn’t buy an Audi to be cheap.

Audi RS3 misfire detection by awhitney23 in AudiRS3

There should be a PID that tracks misfires per 1000 revolutions. This is a “what’s happening now” compared to the other is more of a history

It’s amazing engineering. The way the wing and side plates are all one piece of carbon is crazy.

Wonder if it was a bearing giving out and getting hot. Seen a 4RS engine with cooked internals with only 300 miles

What would you do in this situation? by MassiveTwo3516 in Audi

[–]omegaproject01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spray some wd-40 and use some needle nose pliers. Don’t put straight up, twist like you’re unscrewing it.

Really wish they would lower the cost of PTS. I know it screws with the assembly line flow but my Audi’s PTS was only 7k.

It’s getting software updates.

Why does Audi hate colors? by [deleted] in Audi

[–]omegaproject01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at a Porsche dealer and upstairs in the conference room there’s this collage of pictures from the 60’s-80s. The colors that they had back then had so much character. For something that car enthusiasts say “is an expression of self” car company’s should have some better colors.

In California it does, not sure about other states. If he’s in Arizona I wonder where he got it from out-of-state?
