  1. A new fuel pump has been installed, however, it is still not functioning. The battery has been fully charged, but, only a voltage of 10.4 volts is being seen at the fuel pump feed. Examined the Tyco blue relay (with 4 spade connectors) located in the white fuse/relay box. When supplied with electricity, it produced an output voltage of 12.6 volts. Is the fuel pump supplied with fuel from the Fuel Control Unit? Are there no diagrams included in the Haynes manual? If anybody has any guidance or recommendations, it would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

  3. Disconnecting the temperature sensor will result in a lack of temperature information, hence the most prudent course of action is to keep the fan running continuously. If the fan is operational, then there is no problem present. I believe that the temperature transmitter is malfunctioning.
  4. It seems that you have the option to pay for them or just print them from the internet, which we all already use to check history. This brings us closer to the day when the usage of ring binders filled with documentation will become obsolete. The user's text is "[/QUOTE]". It is unfortunate that I am fond of my ring binders filled with historical content. 🙂
  5. From where did you purchase the lenses? I would want to darken my headlights and, if possible, replace the lenses with new ones. Additionally, it would be necessary to purchase replacement lenses for the rear lights due to their tendency to break in the customary manner of Audi vehicles, amusingly enough.
  6. The first iPhone was introduced around two years after the production of your vehicle. In my 2006 C class, there is a UHI device connected to the 'hot shoe' located in the armrest. Despite having only Audio 20, my car is equipped for telephony and successfully connects with my iPhone 13. However, the whole user experience seems outdated and somewhat unpleasant. The keypad on the dashboard is non-functional, hence the only method to initiate a call is by scrolling on the dashboard. Furthermore, the audio output of the call is limited to a single speaker located in the passenger footwell. Personally, I am unperturbed by this since I get satisfaction from driving without engaging in conversation with others. If you need a fully functional phone, there are other alternatives available. In my view, purchasing a costly MB UHI (it should be noted that they may all seem similar but are really different) is not a wise choice. commandonline.co.uk, which is a sponsor on this platform, will provide you with guidance that aligns with your specific requirements.
  7. I have a strong preference for Honda vehicles, with the DC2R being my favourite car until it was stolen, and the NA1 NSX being my dream car. However, I assure you that the R8 is also an excellent choice, since I believe the first generation R8 is a worthy successor to the NSX in terms of its spiritual essence. The manual was of utmost significance to me in the automobile, although the stronic gearbox is also an exceptional feature. Ensure that you watch Ricky's comprehensive guidelines for buyers, and for detailed information on individual vehicles, you will have a higher probability of success by referring to the UK R8 Facebook groups.
  8. Thank you both. If it is necessary, please don't hesitate to pay it. I only wanted to confirm that it was within the expected range. I will also review the website.
  9. Good day, everyone. I had high expectations for my 63 and anticipated a costly service, with an approximate cost of £400. However, the price from Hughes of Beaconsfield is £870. The vehicle is three years old and has accumulated 27,500 kilometres, with a PP and dif. The reason for the expense is because the gearbox and differential oil need maintenance owing to the age of the automobile. Does this sound accurate or am I being manipulated? Thank you in advance.
  10. The Tectite automobile has increased by 1k.
  11. Admire the colour combination!
  12. VCDS use the actual OBD port. VCDS does provide OBD communication protocol capabilities. Unless the OBD function is expressly selected from the interface, most objects do not use the OBD protocol. The device communicates directly with the CanBus Gateway utilising precise Audi/VAG protocols. Many people mistakenly believe that VCDS is OBD due to their same physical port connection. VCDS utilises additional pins on the OBD port standard, which were originally designated as spare. An OBD (ELM327) scanner will only detect data that is required by OBD regulations or optionally provided by the manufacturer, often related to emissions and similar aspects. VCDS has advanced capabilities that allow you to do tasks, access data, and read fault codes that are beyond the capabilities of a standard OBD scanner. When acquiring a VCDS cable, it is advisable to only purchase from their authorised distributors. New ones discovered in other places are probably replicas. Used items may be authentic, however I have noticed that they may be pricier than new ones due to changes in the licencing model. The cables are licenced individually, with some newer ones requiring a licence per vehicle. The software is free, therefore a registered cable may be used on any device with VCDS software installed without requiring re-registration.
  13. Perhaps. The location of Harpo's residence determines the outcome.
  14. It relies on the items you own. Finding components for a Soft Dash model might be quite challenging. Even on the Hard Dash, it will be challenging. Don't forget about components such as the heater, air conditioning, central console, brake pipes, and power steering pipes, among others. It is straightforward if you own the necessary components, but it becomes complex and costly if you do not. The optimal approach would likely include purchasing a very corroded vehicle and stealing it.
  15. In my assessment, the R8 seems to be impervious to bullets. I am a member of the R8 club in Holland, where we own many vehicles that have successfully covered distances over 100,000 km without encountering any issues. In my opinion, the Huracan Performante is too expensive. I have undergone the same purchasing process.I recommend that you test drive several automobiles to experience the disparities. The automobile must undergo maintenance by an authorised dealer and possess a title that is free from any encumbrances. The Audi history is very commendable, and the car's trajectory can be easily traced. There is almost little change between the facelift variants, save for the timing of the gearbox. In my own opinion, I have a preference for the pre-facelift version due to its much superior sound quality without the inclusion of OPF (Otto Particulate Filter). Equipped with an aftermarket exhaust, the sound quality surpasses that of a Huracan P.
  16. Reading codes may provide illumination, preventing you from being stuck in a cycle of confusion.
  17. There is likely air trapped in the system. Allow some distance for it to gradually dissipate.
  18. Only if more than 50% of it protrudes from the sprocket face. It seems that in order to effectively remove the broken key, the drive sprocket will need to be taken off.
