  1. If I remember correctly, the pre-facelift V10 models were equipped with silver vents, whereas the facelifted versions featured black vents.
  2. I understand and concur. The main point I was attempting to convey, if not very well, is that a malfunctioning oil pressure switch does not result in decreased oil pressure.
  3. The primary factor leading to this issue is oil depletion. While it is preferable that this is not the case, if the engine is already producing banging sounds, it is quite likely that it has suffered significant damage. If the original poster lacks the necessary expertise and money to dismantle, examine, and reconstruct the engine, it seems to be the most viable option to either replace the engine or dispose of the automobile entirely.
  4. I believe the V8 engine is not susceptible to crankshaft failures. If a defect triggers a notice like that, it will likely prevent the vehicle from starting. The only way to start is by reading the code first.
  5. Considering the recent purchase, I recommend returning it. However, illuminating in such a manner often indicates that it is operating on a 12-volt power source that is nearing the end of its lifespan. The effectiveness of lane aid might vary depending on individual perception and interpretation. While some individuals detest it, others are completely indifferent. It is crucial to signal while crossing a white line when overtaking any object.
  6. As said before, the primary dealer will arrange for the delivery of the items based on your chassis number. However, it is important to note that you will be required to provide 27 kinds of identification, along with a letter from the king. Remember to also place an order for the concealed tangible key.
  7. What is their nature or identity? The R showcases their magnificence.
  8. My automobile is a vintage model, therefore I have been searching for a gearbox with low mileage at a fair price for quite some time. It is very perplexing that Audi would want to use the same engine and gearbox for Gen 2.5. What is the purpose of paying an additional fee for the plus/performance option if the upgrade just involves a software configuration change?
  9. The performance of a UUHP tyre relies on its use. In typical driving situations, a UUHP tyre sacrifices its wet performance capabilities in order to achieve a greater degree of performance, which is biassed towards dry weather conditions. Determine the specific vulnerabilities of your present systems and make a well-informed decision to rectify those weaknesses. Comparing the UHP Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, it can be concluded that the Asymmetric 6 offers a more dynamic and sporty driving experience.
  10. Unless I am mistaken, if the automobile is covered by the manufacturer's guarantee, you should keep the car with them until it is repaired.
  11. Upon replacing the batteries in my 2012 C-class, I did not affix any additional components. I completed the transfer in under one minute without any loss, including the radio code. The systems have enough capacitance for short-term storage.
  12. If the appropriate vehicle becomes available, you may arrange for the dealer to transport it to your nearby location and complete the purchase or exchange at that location. Upon purchasing my AUC, I located it on the BMW AUC website. The next day, I brought the tablet to a nearby dealership and indicated my desire for it, inquiring about the expected delivery time. The cost of having it delivered to me is £50.
  13. According to the dealer, if you have a hitch, you may use it for the rear. However, it is advisable to utilise the side jack points instead.
  14. Thank you for providing this information. I was in need of the locations of the front and rear centre points. My vehicle is a mhev, so I don't have to worry about the batteries. However, the pinch weld spots at the four corners are far closer than the photo indicates, and there is a significant amount of plastic around them. I purchased rubber pinch weld protectors from Amazon, which proved to be effective in my experimental lift setup. I do not have the same problem as the original poster, since mine is rotated during the winter exchanges. However, it would be desirable to do two tasks with a single lift. The location of the rear centre lift point is peculiar, since it appears to be associated with the rear differential rather than a flat area. I will inquire with my dealer service manager on their recommendations.
  15. And, naturally, reduce weight throughout the procedure. Does anybody have information on the precise weight of each Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) sports seat?
  16. https://competitionmotorsport.com/products/sparco-spx-carbon-reclining-seat-non-fia?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA6KWvBhAREiwAFPZM7iW6R2EqIGIk2Ito5kF5IsowKYpLeemxC_cmgJEaO5YUWm9z5FSfrBoC04gQAvD_BwE
  17. What is your opinion on the Sparco Sportster SPX seats? What I most like about them is their carbon fibre shell, reclining feature, and the stitching that perfectly complements my décor. The alcatera centres and the simple, beautiful design provide a timeless touch. Furthermore, I have the ability to eliminate the outdated original equipment manufacturer (OEM) diamond stitched sport seats.
  18. I will purchase a single JL Audio 10W6-D4 speaker since I have used it in my previous vehicles and have a strong affinity for its performance. In addition to a JL VX600x1 and VX800x8 for the inside, I will be retaining the standard interiors for the time being. Regarding the seats, is the airbag in the passenger seat now deactivated? Excluding the airbag located on the passenger side of the dashboard.
  19. I have a strong preference for a certain bucket seat manufactured by Sparco for the Gen 2. However, I am not aware of any merchants in this location that are authorised Sparco Dealers. Alternatively, it would be more advantageous if the product were only available via Sparco. Implying that I am eligible for a substantial reduction in price for a set of bucket seats. Furthermore, I have concerns about the passenger airbag light and performance after replacing the seats. Is the airbag still operational or does it need to be bypassed? The loss of the speakers in the headrest is of little concern to me, since I will be installing a comprehensive bespoke audio system. Sound system: I want to install a single 8-inch or 10-inch subwoofer using simply a monaural amplifier. In order to avoid dominating the factory midrange and high-frequency speakers, I need to adjust my audio setup accordingly. I replicated the same configuration in both my SQ5 and SQ8 vehicles, which included the removal of the original subwoofer. The resulting audio quality is really pleasing. When it comes to the R8, the most reliable option is to put the subwoofer directly on the rear shelf. However, I am now exploring other possible positions. Has anybody successfully placed a downward-facing subwoofer in their Audi R8? Could you please provide the specific position of the factory sub beneath the passenger side dash? Q2: Is there sufficient space on the rear shelf to install a subwoofer in a recessed manner on the bottom section of the wall behind the seats? Is there metal concealed under the carpets in that location?
  20. Absolutely, it is possible to do the task without the need to remove the engine. However, it is necessary to remove the cooling water. The image displays components of a V10 engine.
  21. The source of the leak may be from the cover situated just above the chain case. Meticulously cleanse this area and proceed with riding once again. After travelling a distance of several hundred km, it becomes apparent where the oil is depleting.
  22. This is not a conduit for transporting oil, but rather the conduit connected to the secondary air valve. The seal is made of metal. The issue of why the oil is expelled is of more significance.
  23. Occurs to me around 25% of the time. I am frustrated by the fact that when I attempt to connect manually, I encounter the spinning wheel of death and the connection fails, despite the vehicle recognising my phone.
