  1. Observe the Audi R8. VAG SSP 613 – Audi R8 Power Transmission – Download In PDF For Free
  2. Greetings The 2012 R8 GT was globally distributed and did not come equipped with a gearbox oil cooler. The short-circuit line is identified by the designated component number. Search for the oil pressure line used for gearbox oil cooling in the 2012 Audi R8 (R8) model, specifically for the Audi EUROPA 317050 variant under the code K8Q = GT > 2 > 420.317.818.C.
  3. Greetings Eliminate the radiator since the R8 GT model does not include this component.
  4. I have relatives residing in Lexington. The challenging aspect is that the meandering rural roads are mostly residential. Although there are extensive swaths of farmland, one cannot predict what lies beyond each curve, which may perhaps be a schoolyard or playground. I recommend that, regardless of the location you choose, you engage in a routine jog before embarking on an enthusiastic drive in order to be aware of your surroundings.
  5. Over the weekend, I performed an oil change on my vehicle using the oil advised by Audi, namely Liquid Molly 5W40. It is worth noting that I reside in Phoenix, a location known for its intense heat.
  6. Ross-Tech: Products In my opinion, it is quite worthwhile.
  7. Are you able to purchase the battery? On a USA forum, a man just changed the three traction batteries located under the back seat of his Lexus hybrid. He received a substantial discount, paying about $3500 instead of the usual price of over $6000, from an online merchant specialising in Lexus and Toyota components. He had to transfer some parts/wiring from the old batteries to the new ones, which he found to be as straightforward as 'paint by numbers'. The Lexus dealership provided a fitting fee estimate of $1600.
  8. I bought the automobile in 2016 and there were just 5 choices available. I can't recall all of them, but one of the features was live traffic. After the first three years, they requested me to renew at a certain price, which I did for two more years. b Last year, I renewed the same choices for a one-year period at a cost of around £107. This year, they requested £251 for the same set of 5 choices. My anger led me to not renew anything, and I have not missed them thus far.
  9. The airbag's function depends on your interpretation. He is concerned about the possibility of his airbag malfunctioning. The airbag warning light is on. Turn on the engine and, as suggested, rotate the steering wheel fully to the left and right many times. After travelling a few kilometres, the light will go out. I believe just a certain component of the automobile needs to understand its limitations.
  10. Main dealer services are unsatisfactory. Currently, technicians often replace components until the error codes disappear instead of diagnosing and fixing the issue. This approach may result in higher costs for less effective problem-solving, leading to unresolved issues. I would use them for the first service as outlined in the BMW guarantee, then promptly switch to an independent or local garage that I am familiar with for any further maintenance needs.
  11. If the gauge indicates a level below the minimum mark, I suggest adding 0.5 litres first and then rechecking the level after the engine has been running for 15 minutes.
  12. I prefer the Nordstadt branch or the Regensburger Str. branch. Given the present advantageous interest rates, is it necessary to choose the BMW Bank? Have you ever sought alternative funding options from banks or savings institutions?
  13. Indicating contemplation or uncertainty. It might nearly be placed in the "picture shall" category. 🙂 Have you experienced the middle Francs from this period in my region? (Nuremberg metropolitan area) It is one of the most affordable areas in Delaware. Best regards
  14. I also replaced the tailboard struts. It's one of those tasks that, like many others, could be completed much faster if you had to do it again. Despite owning many high-quality vehicles, including a 911 Turbo, I find the Mercedes-Benz to be the most exciting to drive. Even my wife likes it over her Tiguan for long excursions. Dogs like it as well. Despite being over 17 years old, the vehicle runs well. I like the convenience of being able to repair it in my workshop, saving time and money compared to bringing it to a professional.
  15. I was uncertain about the exact origin of the black smoke first. I suspected a faulty PCV valve would be flinging oil into the turbo due to oil surrounding the turbo entrance. However, upon inspection, the old PCV valve seemed to be in good condition. It's possible that the fuel pressure sensor led to over fueling, resulting in black smoke that damaged the O2 sensor. The damaged air intake batwing may have caused the ECU to get inaccurate readings from the MAF sensors, leading to over-fueling. Although I am not really sure, it is now operating perfectly. The automobile seems quite sturdy and well-built. I spent £500 on the vehicle, mostly on replacing parts, such as the PCV valve which was likely the original one.
  16. I will outline the issues I have encountered with my beautiful dark blue 2006 E280 CDi Estate. I purchased the automobile from a tiny dealer in Surrey. I travelled from Scotland to Gatwick by plane and then took a train to the town where the car was located. The automobile was in excellent condition with 86,000 miles, extensive service records, and all features functioning properly. I went to a friend's home in Oxfordshire and stayed overnight. The following day, I headed north by getting on the M40 at Bicester, when I saw a little amount of smoke coming from the back of the vehicle. The situation deteriorated gradually and the vehicle was emitting excessive exhaust fumes even with little acceleration. It was humiliating when my vehicle went into limp mode without showing a check engine light. The issue improved by the time I arrived at The Lakes, but still emitted a large cloud of black smoke while accelerating hard after leaving Tebay services. Arrived home without any issues. The issue was diagnosed the next day. It was found that the air intake was damaged where it connects to the turbo, and the orange seal was deteriorating. Installed a high-quality OEM used part and replaced the PCV valve.I changed my scanner due to "low fuel pressure" and "Oxygen sensor fault" indications. Lambda resolved the issue by replacing the old sensor, which was coated in heavy soot, but the vehicle was still in limp mode. They then purchased a new fuel rail pressure sensor, first ordering the incorrect one and returning it before ordering and installing the proper one. The codes were cleared, resulting in improved performance with no smoke, more power, and smooth gear changes. Returned after a 300-mile journey and everything is well. I am glad to have repaired it independently. I am uncertain about the potential cost if I had brought it to a garage, but overall, I have spent around £500. I am expecting to get half of that amount back from the dealer. Enjoying the vehicle, next task is to replace the boot lid struts since the boot keeps slipping down.
  17. I assure you that I do not mean to show any disrespect. I still rely on using Google to search for information, but I have become sceptical about the credibility of the review system, to be honest. Not just Google's, but also others. There is a proliferation of deceptive and sponsored reviews on the internet. I came saw a negative Google review for Merparts in Port Glasgow, which was evidently intended for a different firm. I filed a complaint with Google, however the likelihood of them taking any action remains uncertain. Apologies, OP, I did not want to divert your attention from the specific information you were discussing. May you discover a favourable location.
  18. While Google is commendable, receiving a personal endorsement from a someone residing in the OP's vicinity who has firsthand experience would be much more advantageous.
  19. My car is a W124 300E from 1988, hence I believe it is equipped with the 103 engine.I will examine it.Thank you.
  20. Greetings, gentlemen.I am seeking to replace the fuel injectors on my W124 300E.Do you have any suggestions on the location where I may get the seals for the injectors?I am encountering difficulty in locating some .Assistance in any kind would be much appreciated.Appreciation is extended to you.
  21. I would assess the resistance of the fill level sensor on the tank and juxtapose it with that of a verified operational sensor. It may be apparent that the sensor need replacement (uncertain whether it can be detached from the coolant reservoir?). If you are considering replacing it, I think Audi has introduced a strengthening strap as a retrofit measure to prevent the tanks from separating. I am currently unable to locate any information on the subject, but I am certain that it had significant importance. I would likely include it for the sake of durability.
  22. All parameters, except pressure, are considered 'calculational', hence the ecu assumes it has knowledge of the ash content. The regeneration process of an automobile begins when either the computed value reaches its limit or when the pressure sensor reading hits a certain threshold. So, if I understand well, you are asking whether the calculation value remains constant despite the pressure differential not increasing? A plausible explanation for the significant smoke and filter contamination in real-life scenarios might be attributed to mechanical issues such as EGR leakage or excessive boost pressure.
