Hello I would like to thank you once for the suggestion to drive with my R 8 to Klaus from the company KH Tunning in Engelskirchen… Although Saturday closed he made me an appointment for a lowering of my R8…I came at half past eleven and it was such a great run—-now my in a thread suspension hovers over the streets of NRW—thanks again–

Hello men, who has nothing to do on Saturday 14.09. at 9.00 pm. The last time was quite interesting. I type, there were so 1400 vehicles on site. All brands are on site, from succeeded to just embarrassing. With the tormentors there is something to laugh about. At the 3 BMWs there are many ideas to beautify. There is again a big car meeting in Munich -Aschheim in the parking lot of Möbel Lutz. It starts at 9.00 pm. Tuning Treff Organized by Streetculture Eint ride costs 2 euros, there are two stalls with drinks and small items for dinner. Motorcycles in all versions, were also many on site. I will look again, maybe there is still someone who wants to and time. A few motor talkers were already there last time XXLutz car park -furniture house Saturday 14.09.2013 from 9.00 o’clock Eichendorffstraße 40 85609 Aschheim near Munich/Nähe Messehttps://www.facebook.com/Streetculture?fref=ts Maybe you can see yourself again. Bin mit R8 in Eissilber da. G Ruffles Richard

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?

V8, Built 2007 Hello, it is hardly a problem (tire sensor) solved, comes already the next. Human, is that so with all high-tech cars so ? Aircon blows only hot air. All diodes are on, do not flash. In the error memory (with VCDS) nothing is reported. All fuses are OK. Pressure sensor connected: constant approx. 6,5 , does not rise with switched on AC. That is. The compressor is not filled but the compressor runs. Can it be that the magnetic coupling does not couple , i.e. not electrically connected and that the copressor is not running? Again the question :what to do ? Thanks for good ideas Jag

Hi together! Have had my R8 now 1.5 years and already some repairs (just exceeded the 100tkm). After I had all the necessary repairs done in the summer it runs very well and is according to Audi in top condition. Recently I started to hear a new noise. Horts on like two filled PET bottles rubbing together in a 6-pack – would describe it as squeaking. First, of course, I looked under my seats. And in the inside It actually seems to come from the engine room or the partition to the engine room. What I could find out so far – you can only hear it in connection with shock – e.g. drive over threshold etc – the noise seems to appear only when the engine is running – however I could only try to shake the car in the stand not the man power to roll it off with the engine – I thought it had something to do with the engine compartment flap (e.g. the rubber between The noise is not related to the motor load -magnetic ride and sport mode on/off makes no difference – the noise does not come from the stereo system So someone has had a similar problem before or a clue what it might be. I believe the noise to have noticed all the first times after the car cleaning. I was washing the engine at the same time. me and the cover is always closed. Thanks for your help LG Steven

Moin Men, I’m asking myself a question. I’m thinking if I don’t buy my R8 another exhaust system. Since I’m no longer standing on “just loud”, I’m thinking a lot about OB and HOW to do the whole thing. A very important question here is the performance of the vehicle. The car has flaps installed in the exhaust. Why is that so? They open and close even during the ride. So audible. At high speed the vehicle becomes increasingly la uter- really great! The flaps are closed at low pressure, should this cause more torque from the lower speed band ? That would be my only question, because almost all the systems that I like and are not too loud do not work. These are just bare rear silencers systems. I thank you already in advance. and many greetings from Hamburg

Hello together, short to my person. I am 22 years old. I have recently finished my training and have a permanent job. My dream is to own an r8. Now I’m also a realist. At some point (except I win in the lottery etc.) I will probably earn between 2000-3000 euro net. So normal averaged. Sure I can now also work on a small house with garden and a VW golf, but at some point when I’m old I would look back But now I have seen that there is already Audi r8 for ~50,000€. Of course they have already down to the 100,000km. But is that really nothing for a V8 or V10? Will start now already every month something to put aside, currently I live alone in the parental home so no rent has to pay etc.. But I also don’t think that I will come to an R8 in the near future. Just how does it look in 5 or 10 years n out? Is a r8 bj 2008 only 30.000€ expensive? Do the “old” r8 then already have so gross defects that you can’t pay for the maintenance anymore? Can you keep it at 2000€ net at all? If you don’t have a lot of rental expenses and the like in principle. It would be a dream for me, clearly nobody has a glass ball that can say “it looks like this in 5 years” but maybe you can guess where the trip is going somehow. I personally can that absolutely not. Thank you and greeting
