I personally am HATING Audi's lately! Their f***king LED tail lights have burned holes in my retinas. What on earth is wrong with that company??? I used to like them...

Is there any tests that I can do to narrow the problem?

I've searched on this forum and others and it is either

* Loose suspension components
* Warped Discs
* Unbalanced Tyres

The tyres were new (and I presume properly balanced) when I bought it and the shimmy was there so I can semi rule that out so I'm down to warped discs or loose front suspension (except the front control arms)
Is it possible you posted on the wrong thread?

I'm thinking the warped discs would be easy to confirm. Take it to the shop and have them inspect them.
