    D4 shift paddles

    Not OV10 UBA is it? If so, it's had a flash upgrade on the gearbox software already by Bath Audi... Nevertheless, someone is telling porkies to one of us. As I bought my S8 from Wakefield, well, I won't say any more.

    2014 S8 custom exhaust

    The only one worth it is the MTM. Extremely high quality product. The problem with "cheaper" models is that they will drone, you need to keep the quieter mode intact. Be wary of Audi warranty however, unless your local dealer is "tame", any burnt valves, turbo damage, anything like that...

    Childish Question

    Ok, so I've been messing about with Dynolicious and was wondering about getting this big ol' lump off the line as quickly as possible. Is there any "launch control" with the 8 speed ZF 'box? I am aware of holding TC off and torque-braking but it doesn't feel very "sympathetic" engineering...

    Winter Tyres

    Ran the Yoko's on my last car, (A8 D4 4.2Tdi), 3 ski trips each year over 3 years (plus a couple of crappy uk winters). Every time stormed up and down the mountain in heavy snow with supreme confidence. Brilliant tyres, quieter than expected and grippy as hell in the wet. Never aquaplaned...

    D4 shift paddles

    I had the same update on my 4.2Tdi D4 just before I traded it in. Paddles still worked fine. Drop it back to the dealer and get them to re-flash the update. Something screwy going on.

    Interior. Just dealer pics for now, will put better ones up when I've done a good clean. Note the "Comfort Seats" rather than the standard "S" Sports seats (same seat, different stitching), goes well with the de-badge I guess. I wasn't sure about the carbon trim at first, but it's growing on me.

    4th Audi... This time I went a bit silly...

    The S6.. ahhhh. Reasons for much £££ spendiness were as follows:- 1) I was a quite "spirited driver" with it so munched through tyres. 2) 2 sets of disks and pads required at the front, one set at the rear. 3) Trip to the 'ring destroyed one set of front disks and pads and a resulting brake fire...

    4th Audi... This time I went a bit silly...

    Greetings all, Thought I had better sign up after lurking for some time. Just bought my latest, and probably a "keeper" for some time. 2013 S8 :) Before I have had... 2010 D4 A8 4.2Tdi - 7k-78k miles. Phantom Black.. never missed a beat. 2006 S6 V10 - 5k-38k miles - Aurora Blue - Never...
