So if I accept the mods will I be able to tell the difference in my daily driving? (more)

Most of my driving (fwd TT) is done on surface roads and crowded freeways and I rarely go above 75 mph.

Here goes....

The first one "Cathedral Prop" I think refers to strut/wishbone/suspension modifications and the subsequent firming up.

The second one "Tilger" I believe refers to the ballast in the rear of the car. I believe this only applies to FWD cars and not the Quatttos. I'm guessing here...

Re: TT Modification FAQ...

Nachrüsten means (Auto etc) "to refit" or (Kraftwerk etc. (power station)) "to modernize" or (Waffen (firearms)) "to keep up to date". This is from German/English dictionary I picked up in Vienna.

I don't believe so, but we won't know for sure until the mods are released and tested (nt)

Re: "Cathedral Prop"....

This is about the strengthening rod between the front strut towers, which silently crept into all TT's this late spring after a US test procedure (speed-breaker?) made it neccessary for the US market. The mods will not include a mounting of this rod in older european TT's.

Questions for Marius re: strengthening rod

Marius, can you provide more information regarding this rod? What exactly is its function? Is its installation considered to be a plus or a minus? How does it change the TT's handling character? Is it likely that the first wave of U.S. TTs, such as mine, have this? TIA.

Re: It's human nature but...

The unintended acceleration issue was a total non-legimate issue. After all the damage done, NHTSA finally said the Audi's had a lower incidence of the problem than GM cars. Thought everyone got the word from our government that the Audi car was not at fault, only the drivers.

Thanks (more)

When I first saw "cathedral prop" mentioned a few weeks ago I thought they were talking about the interior cabin tunnel brace, that is until this "exclusively relevant for US vehicles" was mentioned. Is this the off-axis impact test? Also how does the FWD "ballast" weight work. If this is what it took to get 50Hz first mode bending then I am disappointed by the approach. Anybody have more info?
