Hello, since I no longer want to bring my Audi to Audi and perform my repairs myself, I hoped to find a description of the oil change here. if someone has done this before Please a description! I assume that my car has a dry swamp lubrication and thus also a container and not only the oil pan is emptied. Thanks and greeting from the Palatinate

Well… what to say. A tourag stands in front of me back and drives me on the front (rolled up with maybe 1-2kmh) – bonnet has a dent, the grille in front and the bumper is slightly covered. Probably everything is changed. Luckily only slightly rolled on it, so no bad damage. What do you value how big the damage is? Will drive to the AZ Munich next week and have it appreciated and repaired there. Does anyone happen to know if I’m getting the money for one in this time I’m on vacation for 14 days and I don’t really need one – so would meet well.

Hello dear R8 driver, can one of you do me a favor and tell me exactly how wide an Audi R8 is. So measured at the widest point. From exterior mirror to exterior mirror that should be. (Or is the rear wider?) I can’t do anything with the data from the Wiki 1904–1930 mm. I’m not sure if the exterior mirror is included. Now you’re wondering why I need this measure? Quite simply. There’s a garage door between me and my dream car. that leads to an underground garage. This gate is about 2m wide. (must measure again) Perhaps I would have to fold in the exterior mirrors electrically so that I could get through. Would be really sad if it would fail at the garage entrance If it wasn’t my condominium then it would be clear anyway what I would do Interesting would also be the measure with folded outside mirrors. Thanks for your efforts ABT_AS6

Greetings, as just learned at a nice dinner, should soon be accepted the first reservations for the Lamborghini study Sesto Elemento. 20 pieces are to be produced, as once from the Reventon. For me this car is a true dream, despite the actually not so well accommodating angular shape. How do you look? Satte Grüße aus München, Michael

Hello, currently privately drive an M3 E92, but will probably sell it around around autumn and plan to buy an R8V10, but not to buy, but to rent or lease it for 12 (maximum 24) months. Problem with this: I am not independent, so I can not sell it. Are there special offers for the V10 with short terms at prices that are at least acceptable? About links and experiences I would be happy! Greetings

Good morning ! If I overfly the posts in this forum department are here really some R8 owners and maybe also some R8 screwdrivers to find. And not only types read the test reports, have a current car quartet at home and then give their knowledge for the best. And at home have old boxes standing around and have never driven an R8 before ! Just one I am also ;o) But I am interested in the Graziano gearboxes, especially in the automated versions. d are you satisfied with the respective gearbox in the R8 ? Are there smaller problems, chops what, plucks or jerks it when starting with the R-tronic gearbox or has there been thus already clutch damage ? And then another question, here one of the R8 pilots came already in the “enjoyment”, with slippery road, e.g. ice, snow, lubricating, particularly smooth road surface etc. to test the traction of the all-wheel drive ? Is it immediately with all fours ahead or there are a few “Backwheel Drive Commemorative Customers” until the Visco coupling transfers force to the front ? With best regards the vehicle parker remains

Good day dear R8 community I’m new here in the forum and have been the proud owner of an R8 for a week Now I would like to ask you the more experienced pilots for help: I was already looking for suitable rims before buying the R8. The Bimoto from MTM in 20 inches are among the favorites, my question to you: Did any of you mount these rims on its R8 or does anyone know if these rims are qualitatively good? I am also happy for other information. I would have these rims painted in scale color (black). I had never done with MTM, so far Sportec has taken care of the vehicles but they don’t offer 20 inch rims for the R8. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello, yesterday I woke up my R8 from hibernation. First I drove to the next gas station to check the tyre pressure. Then came the big awakening: At the first wheel I still thought that it lost quite a lot of air over the winter, but all the wheels were filled wrong: front left and right 2.1 bar, back left and right 2.4 bar. I was still in autumn for the annual service, then I signed off the car. There was actually someone in d Luckily I drove only slowly. Great performance! Has probably done the apprentice, who is only allowed to use the A3 otherwise. Strangely enough, the tyre pressure control did not give an alarm on the way from the workshop to home or yesterday on the way to the tank. Why is it then good? Is there hardly a difference from 2.1 to 2.9 bar. After I have then filled up everywhere on 3.0 bar, the tyre control system also did not give an alarm. bt that only alarm, if there is no air in it anymore, or is there something defective? What I don’t understand is the air pressure specification in front 2.9 and rear 2.5 bar. In my Porsche, this is the opposite: front 2.5 and rear 3.0 bar. Only for M+S, AUDI also provides 2.9 bar for the rear. What air pressure do you fill in?

Moin, I’m just getting the following car privately and I’ve already tested: Audi R8 BJ 08/2013 78.000 KM Accident-free 2 previous owners Silver S Tronic TÜV is new Price 62,000€ The car received another TÜV check from me during the test drive. It was driven clean and the engine sounded round as well. The car is in good condition. Remarkable: on the left side back were under the cover OIL humidity. Picture in the appendix. What do you say?

Hello, I had a coolant warning (message + warning tone) at my 2018 4S Spyder shortly after I left. I immediately checked the liquid level, which is far below minimum according to the operating instructions. Is this still enough from your point of view to “just refill”? If yes, I would fill up and go to the workshop.Filling level (YouTube) According to the operating instructions, if the supply is empty, air can enter the cooling system and damage the engine. with this small filling height maybe already a topic? I also worry about the rust spots, which are briefly visible in the video. I had not noticed any rust on the car before.
