Appologies to anyone that attended the rolling road event that may now have impaired hearing, its nice to let the V8 sing though

Yep you can completely change how the gearbox behaves, you need to find someone with Vag-com and know what code you want. Have a look at my post here (Botang) Gearbox coding

Hope they are the right ones then Seems to be a good upgrade without spending shed loads upgrading calipers, etc.

I would seriously advise you to have a word with Boyd, that ebc disk thing dont sound right to me as I was under the impression that your calipers were the same as the early S8 ones. (01933) 316066 ask for Boyd, bit of an expert when it comes to EBC, then you will know for sure.

There site has left me a bit confused as some of the model-year listings dont tally up, S8 model years and the fact that they have listed All A8's twice for example. As I understood it your 2000 4.2 sport had the same brakes as the 96-98 S8 I think. Almost every price I have given you above is...

Right are you sitting down....... You actually have the same brakes as the S8 apparently where as mine are a tiny bit smaller, so I gave my mate a call to get the prices for you. They are: Front Discs (Turbo Grooved) £220.00 Front Pads (EBC Green Stuff) £122.50 Rear Discs £86.50 Rear...

I'm Just about to change my fronts as I have managed to warp my discs I am going for EBC Red stuff pads and EBC discs (same style as satndard).

Did I choose the right time to bail then? It seemed to dry up again about 3pm, what time did you leave? Nice to meet you guys

Hopefully my mates Caddy will be finished by then, he is doing finishing touches now. Any RS4's fancy being wooped by a Caddy?

Although it doesnt affect me, there is not a service area at junction 15 think you mean junction 15a where the M1 meets up with the A43. Is this correct? The Service area is called Northampton Services (Formerly Rothersthorpe Services) There is a shell garage in Wellingborough, but the...

The americans advise to change the water pump at the same time as the cambelt, just in case. It might be worth considering.

No 2004 S8's are being produced yet

I looked at an ex-demo A8 before I got my one and that had been chipped, it had a Superchip that the dealer had put on it. I didnt end up buying it as it seemed a bit tired

Yeah he has, he uses a bailey re-circulating dv usually but has tried a to air dv as well, this was what highlighted the problem as you could then hear (as well as feel) what was going on. It seems to be that the electronic valve is using the Vacuum store that the Seat's have to open the DV...

Well its very honest of the bodyshop to say so however I am perfectly happy with mine. Remember we are talking about the sills here its not as if you are going to be doing your hair in the reflection. I may well have to get the spray work on my sills redone because they may be replacing them...

A mate of mine is struggling trying to find whats causing a problem with his Seat Ibiza Cupra. The electronically controlled valve that operates the vacuum feed to the dump valve is opening the dump valve whilst its under acceleration. You can hear air gushing from the dump valve as the car...

Hi Will, I have a 1996 4.2 Sport and have to say the car is awesome. In general there is very little to look out for in terms of common faults, be aware of the gearbox leaking onto the cats, this is a problem on all the V8 quattros (A6+A8) whilst it isnt a major problem its just a bit...

Oh and of course how could I forget, A cheque book!
