Hello people I am in the middle of the conversion process and now something very annoying has happened to me, I have damaged the rubberization of the sports button a little bit. Since the paintr is supposed to be in for other parts, I have thought of having the button painted then, unless there are alternative /ideas. The rubberization is so far down that the white is to be seen. I do not know if there is the button individually and how I can get it off at all. Google unfortunately did not help me the conversion is logged and documented and then presented here after completion but the sports button has to start but how?

Hello guys, I got my R8 V8 on about 2 months ago. Fully fueled, rubber protection over the seals, battery hung up on the current and covered. My question would be now, you have to leave the R8 on now and then? I left it on a few times shon and yesterday when I left it on he didn’t start cold. So the c.a 15-20seconds cold start he didn’t make. In my single box it is always between 18 and 22 degrees warm. Can it be because it’s warm in the garage And that’s why he didn’t start cold? With a friend the same thing happened, however, he has his R8 in a cooler garage and not at the power. Thank you for your answer!

Moin! I bought a R8 4 months ago ( stutter it off! ) and yesterday on the A7 at approx. 250 km/h, the EPC and shortly afterwards the engine control light approached. I then kicked the clutch immediately, engine went off and I rolled on the stand strip. When starting again extremely loud noise from the left cylinder bench. I already found a lot about engine damage and it seems to be no rarity. Now I am second owner, car is 5 Years and has 40000 km. The previous owner once had HU/AU done in a free workshop and the oil change (although not yet due ) with him. Does there still something on Kulanz at Audi or do I drive again when I have the coal for a new engine?? Please let me know all the experiences regarding Kulanz! ……thanks!

Good morning, yesterday I was blocked by MT. That was also completely fine. The story with Fabian was not in order and should not happen any more. I get a second chance, here the deal with Marie. I will make penance. Apologies to all concerned and the diligent contributors. Penance1 A 100 Euro donation (see photo) to the children’s home Clemaki just went out. They don’t have to starve there, but for everything that is extra, the money is often missing. A shower gel, a CD, a computer game, a bike or excursions. They can really use it. The money is in good hands. There also go all my income from the book sales. Means, I don’t make anything at the books. Penance2 At a next R8 meeting I buy a 50 liter barrel. Greetings Richard Fabian is history and does not show up any more, he certainly goes his way

Hello to all friends of the Audi R8 Before I now read all reports and past errors around the topic R-tronic and also (because mechanically the same) the hand switch I created a new topic. It is about the suffering stories around this topic to take up times and explain my intention, resp. solution, . As one or other is known we are known in the R8 Scene and among other things also for the maintenance and repair a reliable partner . In the letz In addition , errors in the switching hydraulics and their valve block are often identified as the cause of sporadic errors (such as mechanical fault gears or basic adjustment not possible and gear position not plausible) and the previously mentioned block is replaced . The replacement is very expensive and usually does not bring the desired result . We ha In the end, almost a dozen cars were treated with these problems and the half then finally equipped with exchange drives in order to be error-free again. Here, without exception, the switching forks with the switching bodies as well as the synchronous rings turned out as a source of error. The price and also delivery situation is of my opinion catastrophic and thus the thought from the many transmissions came to me to organize an exchange circle and thus the price and the delivery situation n to defuse. Please be so good and tell me the current problems and also where price can settle a repair with warranty. Since now more and more cars also come into 8 year are warranty and culant usually no longer in. But a R8 belongs on the road and the repair should be in proportion. Thanks for your help 😉 Greeting from Cologne, Klaus Höller

Good evening R8 Forum, With me now the yellow lamp lights up with the gear wheel. I had the whole time read out by a friend. His system showed following errors (see appendix). Is anyone aware of this error? Sincerely Audi-Ks

Moin all together, I’m new here and I would like to ask you a question! Maybe someone can help me! I bought an Audi V10 plus 1 months ago BJ 2015 which still has a warranty until 2020… When driving home I noticed that the brake gives away grinding noise and the gearbox makes howling noises:-( I called my salesman and he said that I should drive to the workshop on site to check it out! It would be Gara I drove directly to the AZ and reported the errors! But I only got an appointment in a month! Now the car was finally on and the workshop found a fault with the brake system (brake pads in front would be defective bubble formation) That was reported Audi the say no guarantee!!!!! The dealer (where I bought the car) would like to take over only half He meant that I drove about 900 km I could see the documents What totally stupid is that I just drove the federal road! Fun car …. Who knows how to behave?
