Applied the WD40 .... success! I obseved the springs and they look fine (they were replaced only a Year or so ago, anyway) So all's well!

Were they? Both ours had Sachs originals, now changed to Bilstein/KYB on one car and all Sachs on the other. Sachs are cheapish from ECP.I would highly recommend Monroes. They were a standard fit on A2,s from new.
