After a detour to Italy I suddenly had quiet, but clearly audible “storage noises, unaltered also after inserting the idling. With a distance of approx. 1000 kilometers back from Italy (except tank breaks) last a little louder Gräusche. Tuesday call KH Tuning, should come by despite booked out date. Thanks KH Tuning !!!! You have helped me so often!! Thank you that you are there!! Yesterday on Wednesday after a long time due to overcrowded A3 in Engel Skirchen arrived, boss takes over my R8 V10 type 42 FL with 62000 kilometers to the test drive and comes back felt after 20 seconds: running noise front wheel gearbox (Haldex?). Despite missing appointment and upcoming ride to Passau expansion of the entire transmission combi (front axle gear / drive shaft / cardan shaft) by KH Tuning! Now I have a „RWD, somehow clearly „spritziger Questions: – did you have this problem before?? – would like to get the original condition, but what cost? – what would you do? – KH Tuning will disassemble the gearbox, will take some time (are booked out on schedule!) – any experience (is enough type 42-iger or synchro problem children) Thanks for additional tips or info`s!

Hello together, I know there is already one or the other thread on the topic, but I wanted to assure myself that I thought of everything to make no mistakes. 🙂 I would like to replace the sport seats with the original shell seats at the R8 V10 (type 42) BJ 2015. I found the following instructions here in the forum: * Battery not yet clamp off * Seats all the way forward AND go up and release the rear screw (seat screw VZ or XZM 10) * Seats all the way to the back and push down and unscrew the front screws * Now disconnect the battery * Tilt the first seat and unscrew all plugs. * Now the seat can be removed * Airbag plugs on it, Ebay things fit 100% and can not be mounted wrongly * stow cables and cover cap on it * Now straighten the new seat in, rails in front and lightly screw on * Now push the seat all the way up AND screw on top * Bolt the rear screws * Put the seat in initial position and d he screw on front screws * Connect the battery Now for my questions: – Is there something missing or is there something else to consider? – Should the battery really be jammed off? There are contradictory statements about this. I don’t want to trigger an airbag 😉 – Are there any problems after the battery is jammed again? Lt. Operating instructions can happen that functionalities need to be re-learned (e.g. window lifter) and I have to go to Audi with it? K or do I have to take care that the conversion action does not take too long? – The connectors should fit 1:1, right? For the missing airbags on the shells I have the adapters. Do I have to pay attention to anything else (“occupation seat heating” I had read as a keyword) ? – I have also heard that a coding on shell seats has to be changed? But I have not read this anywhere else. Is that correct? If yes, can I even do that myself? Sorry in advance for my beginner questions. I’m not a mechanic or something and a little unsure, because I don’t want to break anything! 😉 I would be grateful if those who already have experiences could give me answers or tips here… Greeting Sebastian

I bought my R8 last month and drove it into the garage after a nanosealing for “wintering” because I can only drive with session license plate from April. I stuck off the positive pole of the battery. But I’d rather if I could take the whole battery out to store it in the warm apartment and charge it every six weeks. Now to my question: Can someone tell me what I have to dismantle everything to get the battery out? At first It looks like I have to unscrew the complete covers at the front. Is this a big act and you get everything back without any problems? In advance, thank you very much for your help and greeting from Kaiserslautern. 🙂

It’s amazing how the different colors on the R8 look, from red-black R8 V8 Coupe to R8 V10 Spyder Cabrio changed into teak brown. The “old” was damn loud and has already noticed due to the sound. The “new” is relatively quiet and everything is still original. But in the parked condition it is already noticeable, the red was like a magnet, whether it’s a resting place or parking space on the supermarket or in a street. Only the Regula Kit, it can not have been located. At the red people stopped, have partly even taken photos and were very interested in the vehicle. Teak brown does not notice, the vehicle seems rather inconspicuous. As show car the color is not suitable. I don’t care, the car has bought for me. If you plan a purchase and want to stand out with it, should choose a bright color, red, white, yellow etc. apparently brings the contours to the point. Or bright cars just fall out more. I haven’t seen it yet Teak brown looks very serious, but rather unremarkable.

Hello R8ler, there has been a lot of talk, but it’s about time. If the weather is right, at least it should be dry, there is a day trip to the Czech Republic. Suggestion: Sunday 13.10.2013, around 9 am you should be on the slopes. Day trip, -just 195 kilometers, driving time is easy 1 hour and 45 minutes. the highway has never had a traffic jam and it is almost always free ride, something goes on.. Route 1 Munich, past the airport, past Landshut , all motorway with short speed limit at Landshut, otherwise free ride! After 100 kilometers we go down from the highway at Landau and continue on a well-developed Landstr. direction Straubing- Cham. At Furth in the forest we cross the border. Right after the border you can shop at over 300 stands. There are also fixed buildings with supermarket, hairdresser and much more. Alternatively Route 2 is not further, which would be interesting if some from the area of Ingolstadt want to go. Munich motorway, direction Nuremberg, out at Wolnzach, direction Regensburg and further to Cham. I would be flexible. The length is almost the same. The Czech market has a lot to offer. -CDs Music 1 Euro everything that is current -DVDs new movies 2 Euro -Red Bull Can 90 Cent -Benzin 1.45 Euro for Super, very modern petrol stations, frost protection is also very cheap -Frisör Men 5-6 Euro -Manicure for the lady, very cheap, with fingernail treatment -Schnaps, wine, spices, sausage approx. 20%-30% bill More expensive than ours -cigarettes 3.20 Euro, 4 sticks per person are allowed – otherwise clothes, socks, jackets, backpacks, hats, cap, cap, cap, watches, sunglasses, towels, jerseys, bags, shoes, mobile phone covers, without end -bird houses, plants, garden gnomes, baskets, electric shockers, knives and hit rings – many brand fakes partly well done. You can fill the trunk easily.http://www.google.de/imgres?… The market is just behind the border. After the market there are a few Kil ometer further, there is a good restaurant, a bit remote and runs under insider tip. Directly at a small lake. Very good food, from steak to fish, duck etc. It is very cozy, cheap and good. Mostly it is so 14.00 – 15.00 clock when it goes back to the home trip. I have already made the trip about 10 times and I can highly recommend it. Especially the Frisör Pralle sun doesn’t have to be, but it should be dry already on the road, otherwise a week later. I drive to all Cases (if it’s dry) Just such an idea, meeting point 8.45 am on Sunday 13.10.2013 in the parking lot in Eching, right next to the highway at Mc Donalds next to IKEA, exit 9.00 am, then you can decide the route, depending on interest over Regensburg or over Landshut. (via Landshut you can let it crash better ) Who wants to? Greeting Richard

Hi, does one of you come here from FFM or the surrounding countryside? Could a meeting be organized? Greetings, Nando

Hello, I don’t know how to ask this question and if this fits here I just start off, I myself am 20 years young and drive an audi A6 with 140 ps :/(yes to all r8 drivers, who only has 140 ps and hardly comes from the spot) Every time I see an r8 by me roaring I almost tip with enthusiasm Since I don’t get to such a car for 1 day at the age of 20 I wanted to ask if someone would take me on a ride for a day I ch is just so desperate that I’m here demand because this is really a dream to ride along 1 times Does someone more reliable wise in the district of Hage/Dortmund who would take me with him? I can well imagine that I’m annoying with the post, excuse in advance, but the will is in this case bigger to ride in such a car than my engine capacity in the engine Ps: In return I offer a ride With my high-powered A6 f4 with 140 ps and an hg of 210 km/h (Dat haut euch vom H ochre )

Hello, I just signed up here in the forum and don’t know me well yet. There are many interesting posts here, really great. Now I hope for your help. I drive a `2007 R8 with the full carbon pack and am very interested in these flaps, which the GT has at the front right and left. Can someone tell me if you can buy these parts? Unfortunately, I haven’t found out anything about internet technology yet. Would be great if someone could help me out there. nntte. Greetings to all, Rüdiger 🙂

Every now and then it happens that you see an R8 on the way and wonder if the driver is also on the way here in the forum. So that you can find out, this thread should contribute to this. However, the whole license plate should not be posted. Then I make the beginning: Today 15:45 a.m. A8 Karlsruhe direction Munich high Rasthof Pforzheim, black R8 V10 Spyder ***, had it very hurry someone from here? VG !Frecher_Keks *** license plate by MartinSHL unknown In this case, it should be noted that:

Hello R8 friends ?? Would like to introduce ourselves and our R8. We come from Austria, in the middle of 30 and are really Audi crazy/fans (A3, A5, A6, A7 had or we have already had). Since recently we can now also accommodate a R8 V10 (42) in our garage. ?? As a family, the R8 is only a pure summer car for fun. We have really fulfilled a childhood dream now. We look forward to sharing experiences and many nice shared moments under Audi/R8 Li Greetings PS: Photos were made professionally.
