Hi all, I own a 2006 Audi A8L 4.2 TDI (original single frame) and would like to do a S8 retrofit/conversion. My local certified Audi dealer tells me that they are not sure that the S8 front will fit my 4.2 TDI because of some differences behind the fender/spoiler. But they are not 100% sure. I found a few guys on the internet saying that it is indeed possible, but they don't tell if it's a direct fit or if some bigger changes are needed. This guy successfully did it to a 4.2 TDI like mine, and I tried sending him an PM but no answer: http://www.audiworld.com/forums/a8-s8-d3-platform-discussion-60/2008-audi-a8l-4-2-tdi-norway-2851888/ Also this seller tells me that it fits my model, but don't give any further details: http://www.oemplus.com/bumper-conversion-s8-front-p-986.html Can anyone confirm that the original D3/4E Audi S8 front will fit my 2006 4.2 TDI (original single frame) ? Any comments/help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -
Can anyone Help - I have a S4 Cabrio - 2004 reg, I was driving at less than 20 miles an hour when it made a bad noise from the engine, and stalled. I started it up again and it sounded terrible. I did not start it again but had it recovered to my local Audi garage - Swansea Audi. They looked at it, poked about it, and said they didnt have a clue what was wrong with it but it sounded like a serious timing issue, and they want £2000 to take the engine out, just to have a look see what it wrong. The engine has only done 35,000 miles, out of warranty. Has anybody else had experiences like mine. Am i wrong for expecting an engine to last more than 35,000 miles, especially a chain driven one. I cant afford to pay the potential £6000 bill - HELP.
