  1. The A/C will help to maintain the current temperature. I meticulously refurbished a Porsche 911 from the late 1970s, undertaking a comprehensive restoration process that included stripping the car down to its bare metal and meticulously reassembling it, ensuring that every component was accounted for. One of the motivating factors for this extensive restoration was the persistent odour of smoke that permeated the vehicle, particularly noticeable under humid conditions, which I experienced on a daily basis while residing in Puerto Rico at the time. The automobile exhibited evidence of frequent smoking, with oily residue present on several surfaces, including not just the headliner and upholstery, but also beneath the dash, wiring, and switches. The seat cushions made of horse hair had a noticeable odour. Refrain from engaging in such action. For the automobile, and for you. With that being said, I own some exceptional cigars that I acquired from a customer in Central America! However, it raises the question: What is your occupation? Seems fascinating πŸ˜‰
  2. I am really grateful for your assistance,Videoman. The explanation and required components were clear to me, and the video proved to be really beneficial. I will engage with the local Audi R8 communities to gather information on the activities and practices of its members. I am really grateful for the valuable assistance and knowledge you have provided. Your support is much appreciated.
  3. Oh, it is astonishing. Based on my understanding, it seems that the $3k price is deemed suitable for executing the task in a manner that adheres to the correct standards. Oh my, now I am contemplating abandoning the whole wing idea and returning the one I purchased. In addition, the whole automobile has previously been protected with paint protection film (PPF). Uncertain about the appropriate course of action in this situation. Is it advisable to directly penetrate the active aerodynamics system? I am inquiring about the proportion of individuals who choose one path compared to the other.
  4. Understood. Preferably, I would want to replace the active aerodynamics with the base plate in the correct manner. However, the individual is requesting a price of $3k for this service, which is very unreasonable to me.
  5. Genesis 2. That is excellent. Are you capable of doing the installation as well? I would just choose someone from this location.
  6. Thank you. You are really impressive. I am now located in the state of Florida. More precisely, the location is Fort Lauderdale.
  7. Greetings, gentlemen. I have just purchased a carbon fibre wing that I want to have fitted on the R8. The vendor from whom I made the purchase suggested a certain location for the installation, and the shop provided me with a quotation that seemed to be too unreasonable. I have a question: 1. Do you have one installed? 2. What was the amount of your payment? 3. Do you consider the statement below to be insane? The quotation I got said the following: "AERO FLAP." Ensure the installation and alignment of the wing for a cost of $612.50. Additionally, disable the rear aerodynamic system to prevent the activation of any faults for a fee of $550. The technician who contacted me said that the method mentioned before was cost-effective, but not optimal. According to the technician, the correct approach would need an investment of $3,000. This seemed exorbitantly costly to me. Additionally, do you have any suggestions on the appropriate price range for the installation of carbon fibre mirror housings? Thank you once again
  8. It would be advisable to verify the integrity of the dpf, ensuring that it remains undamaged and free from any welding on its surface. Certain vehicles equipped with adblue may have had their system deactivated due to malfunctions.
  9. Excellent work! The bolt on the bottom resonator is carefully concealed and requires a flexible and extensible wrench to access.
  10. Apologies, that is a pipe coming out from the intercooler, not one going in. If you search for OM642 'green o-ring' on Google, you should get results and instructions. Replacing the o-ring may be challenging without causing damage, thus it is advisable to purchase many o-rings. Also, remember to replace the black o-ring on the other end. All the orange ones covered with oil. Enjoy the research!
  11. The green o-ring is for the turbo intake pipe. The leak is not caused by oil cooler seals; it originates from under the automobile. It is inexpensive to fix this issue by doing it yourself or by seeking help from an independent professional. Replace the black o-ring at the other end of the pipe and all the orange seals on the turbo as well. Inexpensive.
  12. I served as a Scout leader for a decade and found that the role was getting more restricted by bureaucratic regulations and legal responsibilities even at that time. I wouldn't consider doing that nowadays. Instances such as these will hinder Scouting's capacity to attract new leaders, ultimately impacting the youth negatively. This is a tragic situation, but the youngster would probably have made the same choice even if he was under his parents' supervision. Would they be reported to the police for committing manslaughter? I disagree. Consider the current emotional state of such leaders. The closest we came to causing injury at Scout camp was when someone shattered their arm. It's worth noting that he was a doctor's kid.
  13. Accidentally damage the vehicle and ensure it is covered by insurance. However, if the warranty is for a BMW, I would strongly oppose accepting the car. I am curious about what other repairs or maintenance it has had.
  14. Do not get too frightened, since all models have vulnerabilities, but yours has relatively few kilometres and a reliable guarantee. The answer to your question relies on the purpose for which you want to use it. Frequent electric-powered short journeys - beneficial Extensive journeys - favourable Many journeys that exceed the quoted range by a little margin (about 1/2 to 2/3) result in the engine starting but not reaching optimal operating temperature, which is very undesirable. Summary: If you often take several short excursions with occasional longer ones in between, then it should be OK. If the aforementioned option does not meet your requirements, consider purchasing a gasoline-powered vehicle (or an electric vehicle).
  15. Hello, These new lighting systems are really troublesome. The lighting system, along with many features and accessories, is really exceptional when placed properly. Throughout the whole 8-year period that I had the automobile, I never experienced any instances when other drivers flashed their lights at me. ( C207E400 ) Instead of staring directly at a blinding light, I have modified my driving technique by quickly shifting my gaze between the edge of the road and the light source. This significantly diminishes the intensity of the glare.It is quite beneficial to wipe the windscreen both within and outside. I have experimented with sunglasses that purportedly reduced glare, but I remain unconvinced about the efficacy of the achieved outcomes. The ultimate solution rests with the authorities, who must ensure that headlights are meticulously built and precisely calibrated to avoid any potential glare.Although it may seem very difficult, it is necessary to take a firm position.What is the current status of the road side checks? My main complaint is the phenomenon of monocular vision. During my childhood, it was common to see local police vehicles patrolling the roads, which served as a visible representation of law enforcement. However, in present times, it has become more uncommon to see such police presence in South Worcestershire.
  16. I would want to inquire if the rule of 'not putting into the scrum straight' when on offence has been eliminated from the regulations of the game. It also irritates me.
  17. Not really unexpected, was it? If England remains at that level, it will be their only victory in this competition.
  18. The second half has been influenced by several unnecessary penalties, sluggish forwards receiving the ball as the first receiver and obstructing the play, lack of offensive threat, and the backs being practically irrelevant in terms of attacking.
  19. Disregard the others; they are only envious due to your ability to upload an upright photo here. Visually appealing, despite my lack of enthusiasm for reducing the height.
  20. It is important to note that a suitable mask is required while spraying 2K paint, since it contains isocyanates.
  21. I am uncertain whether this is still a current practice, but I was informed by an insurance provider in the past that they do not provide insurance coverage for new drivers who own rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicles. Instead, they require these drivers to have a certain number of years of driving experience.

    The wing's sacco panel edge should have a uniform tone, rather than being black with what seems to be a masking line. Unless the automobile is equipped with uniquely designed aftermarket mudflaps?
