Hi, for some time now I have the problem with my 2015 610 PS R8+ or knocker noise in unevennesses from the VA. I have the MR suspension with KW threaded springs. If I only walk lightly on the brake during stronger unevennesses the noises are gone. We have already replaced rod rubbers, but they have not been. Coupling rods are also good in shot. Also cross handlebar rubbers look good. Car has run just over 40,000 km. Can only imagine the MR dampers that the piston tan looks good. It is not so good to read about the MR dampers. It comes primarily from VL but later also from VR the unpleasant slightly metallic sound. But in dynamic mode (wheelchair hard) is better or at first not to hear at all… But after a few km also in dynamics (damper mode hard). Before I order a new chassis, I wanted to ask you again for advice/tips.

Hello Founde of the well-kept engines, I will visit a V10 (Bj 2012/2013) on the weekend. I have inhaled the internet concerning purchase advice and known problems – but questions remain open. Especially to those of you who know well about what is sitting on the car. I have the information that the vehicle was first approved in June or July 2012. I thought however that Facelift will only use August (i.e. Mj 2013). The vehicle is front and rear Facelift, however He also had a frontal damage (probably wild damage), but one could at least have converted to FL at the front. Who can tell me exactly from when FL used it? I ask mainly because I have read that the stiffening plates against cracks on the pendulum domes only came with FL. Is that true? Can I check this during the visit? Is it possible, for example, to come with a 5mm endoscope camera somewhere to look at the Frunk cover? How is it with typical places for leaks, comes Is it possible to look at the underside of the cooler/backside of the engine without a stage (possibly also with an endoscope camera)? Can you see anything useful from the outside without sideblade disassembly on site? I only read about oil pipe problems (tightness) with the V8, are the problems analogous to the V10? Oh yes, can you test the air conditioning at the temperatures or does the compressor stay out if it has a negative degree? I try to find a stage on site, but probably I can only drive and watch but With such a purchase, this is probably intended to be considered. Especially since at 125,000km, manual circuit, first clutch and from private only one argument (gear) speaks for rather lower risk.

Moin moin Bin stopped with my R8 V10 Spyder R-Tronic, while the ride just jumped out of gear and there were gear errors on the display. I read it out and as an error is shown “Sensor 2 for gear detection. The parts are currently not available at Audi and when they can’t be delivered at the moment. However, the parts can be obtained online from some parts dealers. Part number from the sensors 086927333B, there are two, left and right ts. The renewal of the sensors are in connection with the adapter cable harness 420971164. They are mounted on the actuator. Now my question: do I get to the things from below or do I have to dismantle the bumper and the exhaust fumes? I have not seen on any of the pictures where the cable harness sits, can anyone tell me anything about it? I thank you, greetings from Hamburg

Hello in the round, so far I have always cleaned the car with the hand and the garden hose. Does something speak against if I accelerate the car wash with a high-pressure cleaner, or simply remove the coarse dirt in between? The small Kärcher steam jet / high-pressure cleaner are offered in every hardware store around 150 euros. I have in the driveway a faucet and a socket, so ideal. Does the hard jet damage the paint? A certain distance would I I can also imagine it with the rims. Has anyone had any experiences? Thank you Greeting Richard

Hello together, at my R8 4S the front passenger’s window automatically drives down this little bit so that the window is free to open the door this happens as soon as I unlock the vehicle, and when I lock the car again it drives up again. The problem is occasionally the window is a bit open during the ride and when it rains it drips into the car through the small slot that remains open. Someone an idea like I can reprogram the window lifters on Gru ndstellung ?

Hello dear R8 driver, I would like to buy my vehicle from weight technology to buy a light battery. Now I came across an article on the Internet where the company BAR-TEK built into an R8 a Liteblox LB28XX. This Battery has13,2 V and a capacity of 17,5 Ah this corresponds to a 50 -65Ah normal battery, the battery is extremely light but also very expensive. I would personally however be much cheaper on a LithiumNEXT Track60 with 20ah nominal capacity t (60Ah Pbeq). I’m not driving my R8 V8 in winter and it won’t be moved at below 0°. If the battery were sufficient from the start power for my vehicle or it’s absolutely necessary to go to the larger model the LithiumNEXTStreet85 with 85 Ah PbEq, this is unfortunately with 6.5Kg whole 2.5 heavy. Please share your experiences on the topic. I’m also happy to be open to other battery manufacturers the weight of the battery should be but 6.5Kg not excessive Thank you for the support.

Hi, these dirts in the engine, which are discussed over and over again, can be cleaned / eliminated. What does that cost about, so the cleaning, if I let it be done in a friendly way or there is alternative in the room bremen and umzu? have you already experienced there?

Hello R8 municipality it’s time, I need 4 new summer tires…The R8 with Pirelli’s P Zero will be delivered from the factory. Now the question arises whether I should have another tyre brand put on. What are your experiences with the different tire manufacturers? I have been looking for the search function, if the topic has already been discussed, but found nothing…?! THANK YOU!

Did I buy a set of Swizöl yesterday – for indoors and especially for the paint. Does everything sound very promising, what you hear. does any of you have experience?

Greetings, maybe someone can send me his vehicle license from the r8 4s on which the 20 inch forging wheels are on from the factory? Name and vehicle license can be blackened. Need the proof only for the TÜV. Have the 20 inch 4s forging wheels and would like to have them registered on the 42 spyder. Thank you
