So and one more topic.. I hope I didn’t miss something when searching, I didn’t find anything. What does it look like? Does anyone have experience with distance discs? => What is maximum possible with the R8 with original 19` rims? Abt offers 20 mm disks, adapt these ? Thanks for your experiences.

Hello dear R8 driver, please don’t stone me now I’m pretty NEW here and my son gave me the tip to register here. I’ve been driving very strong cars for years and wanted to know now what you can recommend me for a Sport AGA for my R8. I’ve already read many times about Capristo, ASG and some titanium plants !! Who did you get your performance increase from? I’ll deal with the topic in the next few days. M3 has installed the performance system, which I am not really satisfied with !! And I ordered the RS5 extra with Sport AGA ! Don’t know if you can help me further. Greetings. Dieter

Hello everyone, since yesterday I am also proud R8 owner and have found the forum about google and already read some posts here. Now to my problem: I have found that the air conditioning unfortunately does not work as it should. If I click on “AC” the red lamp goes on and then immediately out again. The Audi employee said it could be too little cooling fluid in the system. Does anyone have experience with it? Otherwise I would have to have the part next week at Au let the complete check through.

Hello everybody, I had a service appointment at Audi yesterday. The service consultant said that since 27.05 a new software update would be available (I have a V10 Plus Bj 2018). To the question, what exactly did the update do he could not give me a correct answer. However, the update definitely has an effect on the sound. I had it put back for the time being. Does any of you have more information about this update here? Greeting Timo

Hello Have a question to you already have experience with spray foil?? So my R8 is matt metallic black and would like to see it with black rims. Do you find a matt black or black shiny matching ?? Thank you

Moin alle zusammen am also since September proud owner of an Audi R8 V8, also followed the posts in the forum for a long time.Have 9 years Porsche was super satisfied with, but wanted to drive something else.Had first also my mind because of the one or other nective comments.For example switch or automatic red vis or white vis BJ,depending on high consumption value loss engine durability etc… I have to say mine is BJ.12/07 Model 08 6500KM Automatic From A udi dealer with 1 year warranty For 68000 euros and the car is foiled in aluminum brushed, once you will not see again. All updates were carried out and must say that the automatic is absolutely in locating, consumption could be less, but goes for the PS performance in locating. One is definitely clear, a Porsche can be seen at every corner but a R8 quite rarely, stand-up factor 100%. Value loss for each car is also with a 997 for example, and you ka I’m glad to have made the right final decision. I’d appreciate your opinions.

Hello dear R8 community, I’ve been browsing the forum for a long time, because I’d like to buy an R8. Unfortunately I only have a very specific budget ( about 60000 € ) . I would be very grateful if you would think of me if you hit an R8 in this price situation. For me, R-Tronic and full leather seats are important. I have now read about an upgrade of the engine again and again, from which year of construction is a R8 recommended? Something from the year of construction, in which also the FIS I’d be grateful for advice and action. Speaking of, I’m called Se and I’m from Regensburg.

Hello dear R8ler, I have been a “silent profiteur” and co-reader of this forum for some time, since my wife and I want to extend our fleet (BMW 5252d and Q7 3.0 TDI) to a used R8. So far I have been able to learn a lot from this forum and would like to thank all of you for this. Today we have borrowed a R8 candidate from the friendly who comes for us question. Is a 2009 R8 4.2 Coupe with 19T km on the clock. I noticed two things about the candidate, which I would like to have your opinion about, since I did not find by search function: 1. the vehicle is equipped with LED front lights, both of which are fogged from the inside (since this morning and even now after several hours in the garage). The fogging from the inside is on the side towards the front grille. The friendly said that this was normal. I added a picture, you can use the fitting as a white surface. 2. In the idle in N with running engine one hears at the rear of the vehicle clearly an irregular smearing or gluging at the level of the tailpipes. Sounds almost as if the fridge only shucks louder and it is irregular, almost as if there is any liquid not pumped properly. We would like to buy the car, but these two points still make me manage before the purchase decision. I hope I could lay everything necessary to you. I would be delighted to hear your views on both points above. Greetings, Klaus

Hello, I have been watching the used car market in the area R8 V10 since 2-3Monten, because I want to switch from my V8 to a V10. What I notice again and again is the EXTREME loss in value of the R8 in the first 2-3 years. For my feeling this is as extreme as with no other comparable “super sportsman”. Did you notice this and how can it be?? 40-50% in the first 2years there is no exception !

Hello dear R8 community!!!! So just sit together with a buddy….and had us an Audi R8 V10 Plus Configured just under 200,000€ Not exactly a cardboard handle (for our salaries from my buddy and me) Now the question what do the R8 drivers do professional ???? Passage at the request of the TE removed (MT-moderation) So no envy (of course I would also be able to afford such a thing) but I treat anyone who can make the groin from the whole heart and especially who How did you buy your car Bar/Financing/Leasing???? Many greetings RS-Driver
