I have just driven a 2023 992 Turbo S at its maximum speed, and I must say, it is a really powerful and impressive vehicle.
-
The 204, as we both know, is vast, whether it is a c180 or a c63.

Indeed, it accurately retrieved exactly what I had predicted to a buddy. The video was well done, however I was somewhat surprised by the language used for the clk!

Indeed,... In the photograph shown, it is evident that the two wires inside the connection have been detached. Consequently, my father skillfully soldered the two wires onto the pins, incurring no financial expense. Upon reaching the parents, I found that the injector was there and just required the wires to be connected. I have obtained a magnifying lens and I am ready to examine the colours of the wires on the original loom. I do not have any jokes or distractions to divert my attention. I observed them nevertheless. The colours mentioned are dark green and dark brown. The colours are dark brown and black. I inspected the remaining injectors to ensure their proper functioning, as suggested by one of the individuals mentioned before. Therefore. The colours green and brown have been or are now located on the passenger side of an automobile in the UK. The colours brown and black are located on the driver's side. The car successfully started on the first attempt and is now running smoothly and evenly. There are no leaks. Everything is satisfactory. However, in my opinion, that is an unfavourable proposition coming from a prestigious vehicle manufacturer. The black death refers to the diesel fuel contamination that occurs when it seeps through the copper seal. The coat becomes stuck and obstructs the flow of electricity down the wires to the socket. I expected that they would have installed a fuel-resistant protective covering around the wires. However, everything is currently in a satisfactory state. Thank you everyone for your assistance once again. Hopefully, this information proves beneficial to someone. However, please be cautious of the wires as they tend to get fragile. Wishing you a safe and enjoyable journey. Thank you.

However, the wires on our plug have become detached and are too short to be reattached by soldering. As a temporary solution, two wires have been soldered to the pins of the plug, without following any specific colour coding. Now, when I reconnect the plug to the injector, I am uncertain about which wire should be connected to which wire on the cable loom (referred to as the wires that are supposed to be connected to the plug). I have not personally seen the automobile; all of my knowledge is derived from my father's accounts. I will be descending tomorrow, and hopefully everything will go well. In order to ensure that I am able to make updates, I will need to do certain actions. Thank you everyone / mate.

Hello,Bitxx . I obtained an image of the plug from the internet.
-
Thank you for your kind words, dodipops. The cables will be color-coded. If I recall well, the interior of the plug consists of two spade-like connections that attach to the injector. The plug itself has a D-shaped configuration. However, the wires on the plug are damaged. Therefore, I would want to know which wire corresponds to either side of the plug. Will it make a difference if I connect the wires to the plug in any orientation? Thank you, dodipops and everyone else. I will communicate with you once more.

Greetings, everyone. I hope that everything is going well. May I request a little amount of assistance, please? While removing injector number 2 from the W211 e220cdi, the wire on the plug itself snapped. Is it feasible to modify the wiring for injector number 2? Is it possible to fix or solder it back into the plug? Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you very much.

I just had my item repaired and received it back just yesterday. The housing of the thermostat had developed a fracture. I had seen a gradual loss of coolant, but a few weeks ago, when I encountered a significant pothole that caused a tyre to break, the coolant leaking intensified significantly. In only 10 miles, the coolant level dropped from full to the bottom of the expansion tank.

Ensure that you also obtain compensation for the decrease in value, since it is a serious issue for automobiles of this kind.

Indeed, I am uncertain about the impact of mileage on vehicles that are driven on the left side vs the right side of the road.

In my opinion, the additional problems in the second generation are related to the magnetic ride control system and the occurrence of misting in the tail lights. I am uncertain whether the AC Compressor is also a problem with Gen 2. Is my understanding accurate?
-
@ Finestey Thank you for the information. What is the duration of your intended automobile ownership? Have you had any problems with it?

This tale is remarkable. I would halt my progress one mile before to passing his threshold, since he is deserving of such action.

here is a significant likelihood that I will not retain ownership of the automobile until it reaches 108,000 miles, but I am interested in determining the associated expenses. I have a deep appreciation for the first generation of the automobile and its significant historical role in the automotive industry. I do not get the same sensation with regards to the Gen 2, however it is possible that I may have an even greater affinity for it. After test driving the second generation automobiles, I expressed my strong admiration for their appearance in the subsequent days. I want the availability of a V8 Gen 2 engine, since it is the superior choice for my needs. My prediction is that when I reach 108,000 miles in 2025, I will most likely get a car from the years 2020 to 2023. At that point, I will decide whether to retain the first generation car as a backup vehicle at one of my locations or sell it. The issue with using the R8 as a backup vehicle is its lack of practicality. Given my interests in biking, hiking, and spending time with family, I want a car with higher seating capacity. I came close to upgrading to Gen 2 towards the end of 2023, but I ultimately decided against it because to the little depreciation of the Gen 2 model. It seemed imprudent to part ways with a fully functional and desirable vehicle, along with $100,000 in cash, in exchange for a newer but similarly appealing automobile.

Currently, my inventory of items to examine until I reach a total of 100,000 is as follows: Camshaft drive belt Chronological references Engine Installs ball joints onto mounts. Bushings The serpentine belt, as recommended by an Audi technician, should be checked at some time. Fluid changes refer to the process of replacing or altering the fluids in a system or machine. I rigorously adhere to a scheduled oil change routine based on the number of miles travelled. Are there any more fluids that need to be replaced? Carbon Clean Excluding oil, brakes, tyres, and rotors from the list since I have already taken care of them. Is there any further information or request you would want to provide? Furthermore, it is important to mention that I am unfamiliar with the subject matter and my level of technical expertise is rather low, comparable to a grade of D-. I just like operating the vehicle and admiring its appearance! The car's mileage is now 90,500 miles, and I purchased it when it had 8,000 miles. I am curious whether I have accumulated a greater mileage in a R8 than any other individual on Earth. Most likely not, although it must be quite near. If I have really driven the most kilometres, I plan to get a Guinness Book of World Records certificate to display on my wall. Is there anything else I should consider? I would want to allocate funds for the expenses associated with automobile ownership. I have a strong affinity for numbers and spreadsheets, and after the warranty period has expired, I would want to have a clear understanding of the possible expenses that I may have to bear. Does anybody have estimations of the expenses associated with doing the aforementioned tasks at a dealership or an independent mechanic?

As I approach the milestone of 90,000 miles and edge closer to reaching 100,000 miles, I have been contemplating the longevity of my automobile and if I am the suitable owner to maintain its ownership. Upon perusing Autotrader for Audi A8 vehicles manufactured between 2014 and 2016, equipped with the same V8 engine as my own car, I was astounded by the scarcity of high mileage options. What is the reason behind this? Do these engines typically have a lifespan of just 100,000 to 150,000 miles? Do automobiles with high mileage tend to be sold at inexpensive dealerships that do not advertise on Autotrader? Do those who do their own maintenance and retain their vehicles for a long time often own them at such high mileage? Is it just the case that the V8 engine has a lifespan of no more than 100,000 or 125,000 miles? I get that there is a scarcity of R8 vehicles with such elevated mileage. The majority of r8 owners do not go on the road excursions that I do, and just a small number use it as a means of commuting for an hour each way on a daily basis. However, shouldn't there be a significant number of Audi vehicles with high mileage that used the same engine? I anticipate that some individuals may argue that the vehicle should easily reach a mileage of 200,000. However, where is the evidence? What is the reason? Furthermore, I have apprehensions about the engine, although it is possible that my focus is misdirected. What additional high-value repairs should I be worried about? What is transmission? Are there any further components? What is Rust? What is the determining factor that renders high mileage autos uneconomical to repair due to the repair costs exceeding the value of the car? I have eliminated the possibility of indicator fluid, but I am really interested in knowing what I should consider and allocate funds for.

Is it possible that the problem is related to the starting motor?

I have a suspicion that the original poster (OP) will not reply to this and we should anticipate further spam messages.

Thank you, R8-Stuff, for the original equipment manufacturer Recaro seats.

They seem fantastic! Osman consistently impresses with his ability to acquire resources. -
After doing thorough study on small automobiles, I am inclined to not purchase one. However, I find myself drawn to tiny vehicles and strongly considering buying one. Should I abstain from getting one? I come from a background of owning BMWs, including a BMW M2 which I adore. I have owned many BMWs and have found them to be fantastic vehicles. I am comfortable doing basic maintenance on my car and like driving interesting automobiles. Therefore, I am considering purchasing a 2011 or 2012 Mini Cooper S for under $5,000. After extensive research, I found other options available, including slightly older versions at even lower prices. I am not a fan of the style of the newer models. I like the design of previous versions from 2004 to 2012, and even the 2013 model. However, I find the 2014 model quite unappealing. What are your thoughts on this? I inquired on Facebook group sites and many really advised to steer clear of a Mini Cooper. I want to use this vehicle as my daily driver for everyday use in town to avoid putting too many miles on my M2.

No conventional insurance provider would provide coverage on my 2023 R8 Quattro valued at $230,000. I chose Hagerty for a collectible vehicle coverage with an agreed value. The premium is $4000 annually. 3500 miles yearly allotment. Needed must have a previous record of owning high-performance cars. Impeccable record. I have not received any tickets in around 20 years. No incidents. No kids. Only claims ever made have been windshield cracks (my state has zero deductible glass by law).

Even with hindsight, success cannot be guaranteed. When political influences are added, the work becomes challenging right from the beginning. An intriguing piece in my association's journal: https://spectrum.ieee.org/the-space-shuttle-a-case-of-subjective-engineering
