  1. Real OEM - just input the last seven digits of your VIN to get detailed information. This is the information I can see by using the drill-down feature by model, assuming a construction date of July 2015.
  2. To my knowledge, there is no 2016 in North America. Generation 2 started in 2017, as I believed.
  3. I am now seeking a preowned Gen 2 R8 and attempting to get an accurate breakdown of the many models and years is somewhat overwhelming. Based on my investigation, I have prepared the following models, excluding any special editions (GT, RWS in 2018, etc.). Could anyone with more expertise verify the accuracy of the following information? Thank you! 2017 Audi R8 V10 Coupe (All-Wheel Drive) Audi R8 V10 Plus Coupe (All-Wheel Drive) Audi R8 V10 Spyder (All-Wheel Drive) 2018 Audi R8 V10 Coupe (All-Wheel Drive) Audi R8 V10 Plus Coupe (All-Wheel Drive) Audi R8 V10 Spyder (All-Wheel Drive) Audi R8 V10 Plus Spyder (All-Wheel Drive) Two thousand twenty Audi R8 V10 Coupe (All-Wheel Drive) Audi R8 V10 Performance Coupe (All-Wheel Drive) Audi R8 V10 Spyder (All-Wheel Drive) Audi R8 V10 Performance Spyder (All-Wheel Drive) Two thousand twenty-one Audi R8 V10 Coupe (Rear-Wheel Drive) Audi R8 V10 Performance Coupe Quattro (All-Wheel Drive) Audi R8 V10 Spyder (Rear-Wheel Drive) Audi R8 V10 Performance Spyder Quattro (All-Wheel Drive) 2022 to 2024 Audi R8 V10 Performance Coupe (Rear-Wheel Drive) Audi R8 V10 Performance Coupe Quattro (All-Wheel Drive) Audi R8 V10 Performance Spyder (Rear-Wheel Drive) Audi R8 V10 Performance Spyder Quattro (All-Wheel Drive)
  4. My 7 Series experienced this issue when one of the level sensors on the rear suspension arm was inverted, resulting in an incorrect height reading and the vehicle attempting to compensate. The adjustment took five minutes to elevate the back and reposition the level sensor linkage in the opposite direction. I trust it is something as straightforward as this for you.
  5. Glad it’s worked out for you, @Lemmand. It’s refreshing to hear about a logistics firm doing repos properly and not just some fly-by-night operation. Kismis Transport might want to consider adding “motors or cars" to their brand name though, calling them “Transport” makes it sound like they only shift pallets and crates 😂
  6. Acquired a new item from Holland on eBay for around £150. Very robust; it does not fold into quarters, just in half. It provides assistance, but being overseas offers me further reassurance that any lightweight goods in the rear seat will not be displaced. Would I repurchase? Affirmative.
  7. FRP refers to Fuel Rail Pressure, which is the pressure delivered to the injectors. Unless my conversational factor is much off, you need around tenfold the pressure now applied for the vehicle to begin operation. Have you followed Purple's recommendation to loosen the nut at each injector to guarantee that all air has been expelled?
  8. Detach the pipe from the pump and see if the noise ceases without exerting pressure on the pump. Alternatively, detach the one from the servo.
  9. I would start by removing the belt. It may be a tensioner.
  10. I lack a fast reference guide; where can I get one?
  11. Bluetec refers to diesel technology. Monitor real-time rail pressure data during engine cranking.
  12. I purchased headlight deflectors without certainty of their need. However, it transpired that my vehicle is equipped with flat beams and a control to adjust their level. I have had instances when I have been blinded by the headlights of passing trucks while my vehicle is carrying a full load and I have neglected to adjust the beam level accordingly. The unused deflector kit is stored in the seat pocket in case I need them.
  13. An exceptional 211 property is really difficult to surpass. In my opinion, a very commendable option is available at a very affordable price.
  14. You should consider using a helicoil to repair it. However, I lack expertise in this matter. During my employment at Mercedes, several technicians encountered this problem and resolved it by helicoiling the hole, successfully reassembling it without any complications.
  15. 4MATIC is a notable feature. I am filled with fear. I recommend purchasing the appropriate 19-inch wheels and equipping them with all-season tyres such as Crossclimates.
  16. combined with 275/30/20. Are correct for your automobile , with 8.5 and 9.5 j rims.
  17. Tomorrow, I will thoroughly examine the situation, with the expectation that it is only a question of inspecting and ruling out any grounds of concern. Thank you so much for your assistance; it is really motivating.
  18. Indeed, I am considering the possibility that there may be a limitation in the oil supply to the shaft, resulting in insufficient lubrication. I will thoroughly examine all components to verify this hypothesis.
  19. Thank you for that, it is really appreciated. The potential issue might be an imbalance caused by carbon accumulation on the blades. It is likely necessary to remove for examination. It ceased for an extended duration and then resumed.
  20. The turbo emits a noise at around 1500 rpm, without any visible smoke, and the vehicle performs adequately on the road. It would be beneficial to determine the cause of this siren-like noise. If I apply little pressure on the accelerator pedal while driving, the performance is satisfactory. Similarly, once the vehicle reaches a certain speed, the performance remains satisfactory.
  21. My car's headlights have been on for 7 years, and like RBH said, they may be influenced by the sun. However, I haven't had any problems, even with folding mirrors.(have a spare set ready).
  22. The hood, top, and trunk need repainting, presumably due to the removal of the wrap. I have a sense of familiarity about the availability of this item in previous instances.
  23. The overall condition seems OK, save for the need of repainting due to the removal of the wrap. Some minor modifications were made to the car's appearance, including the addition of a spoiler, mirror covers, and black badging. The assessment of whether something is excellent or poor is subjective and depends on individual preferences. While carbon fibre options are not available, the vehicle does include the B&O sound system. The linen coloured chairs are often dirty, but these seem to be in fine condition. Impressive rims. It is very certain that you will get a ppi. Examine the brake rotors carefully, since they may be rather expensive to repair. Obtain the vehicle identification number (VIN), acquire a Carfax report, and do thorough investigation. A price of $53,000 seems reasonable provided the vehicle is in flawless mechanical condition.
  24. Possibly, but, if the vehicle or brakes are wet and left on, there will be a significant clunking sound when you start moving. If you refrain from turning it on, there will be no consequences.
  25. I have never had any problems when doing manoeuvres such as reversing. I only use the handbrake to prevent the vehicle from sliding on wet brake discs. The AH is continuously operational.
