  1. Toe must be adjustable, at least, on all wheels. The rest, depends. Only racecars have everything adjustable. If you have no issues or haven't hit a pothole, why would you need an adjustment?
  2. 245 HP all should have it, 230 not. pre FL 230 HP should have it, but they also feature black exhaust, black rear spoiler, black piano interior and stitched vRS logo behind head on front seats. This car was in its time something special and not that common. They also had only 4 colours.
  3. Looks like fire shield to me, so its probably outside somewhere, mounted vertically, between the engine and passenger compartment.
  4. On most of your questions I don't have answer, but I do on bushings rattle, or crack or squeak. In the summer I was able to to silent them almost completely, but on the winter, man... Like a ****ty car, and the first time I have started calling upon warranty it had only 10.000km. The issue are the bigger bushings in the back of the lower (and only) front arm. Finally about 15-20 days ago, and 6 years after first complaint, 110.000km later, we have found that bushings for B8 4motion are good. Yes, needed wheel alignment after the replacement, it made the huge difference. Car was perfectly driveable, but I felt very little something was wrong on higher speeds in my lower back (140+ km/h), like a side wind, where there was no. After the alignment, with new bushings. Man. What a car. How it is again silent, and pointy, and tight and perfect. I was thinking of selling it after 7y. I will not. Good luck in your adventure. Looks like you're onto it well.
  5. I had this issue resolved under warranty. They said button inside is too shallow and after some usage cannot reach full contact. Explanation is that they’ve put some distancer under, as official and final solution. Obviously permanent solution as it works for 5 years, maybe 6.
  6. I would test whether heating works when you switch on the back glass heater. If heating doesn’t exist on the switch.
  7. Up left folding mirrors, up right heating mirrors. They are also auto dimming. I suppose non folding mirrors have only bottom part of dialing switch?
  8. I was unable to put fully 2032 battery under this little tooth properly, but it worked, was able to put cover back holding the battery strong enough. Anyway, half-solved isn't my cup of tea, so I've replaced it with 2025 eventually.
  9. Yes. January 2021. It also has interesting whooshing noise from the gearbox. Disappear after clutch depress. We haven’t bother fixing it. Throttle is anyway quite strange in low rpm, has an extremely long lag on command. Kangarooing must have been somehow related. It is much less pronounced when AC off.
  10. Still looks far better with stock glossy black diamond cut, my 2c, but I fully accept this is much cheaper.
  11. Have you checked the fuse visually, or with a multi-meter? Eliminate simple issues first, fuse, wiring, etc. Maybe there is additional protection fuse in the devices internally?
  12. My lasted 4,5 years, but didn't show much symptoms, they detected on the regular annual service. New one brought a big difference in start and stop - I don't even recall that the car was working like that since it was delivered. If dashcam starts on ignition, it is connected properly to the fuse which is off when car is shut down, and is not a reason of your issue. Could be that more power consumption now just has shown better the existing issue.
  13. Maybe you don't need to remove caliper? I have managed to pull out the stone through the wider part of this metal protection behind the disc, if I remember position correctly. This is the place where it entered probably as well and cannot let itself out, as it falls to the bottom where space between disc and metal is tight.
