So, next question: what interaction does the cluster have with the ABS that requires changing to the C5 one? I thought it only talked to the ECU/TCU, other than warning lights? Your English is fine, no worries :) I appreciate you indulging my curiosity. |

I wonder what versions were used over the years on S8s of various iterations? Our sponsors have one for sale from a 2000 A8 3.7 which is a D46. https://www.prestigemotorservices.co...tem-16098.html |
5.0 until 1997, 5.3 from then on, according to the documentation, although there are several variations within those models.
|
Could 5.7 have been introduced with FL.2?
Anything different under the bonnet that would be obvious to a novice like me? |
FL1 and FL2 are all the same with the external return pump which, from Elsawin, is 5.3. The Allroad and C5 S6 prefacelift also use 5.3.
The 5.7 Nakata refers to turns up in the C5 A6 Facelift (02-05). This has ABS and ESP integrated in to the main pump block, with no external ECU or return pump. It makes sense that it would have a better pedal feel since it doesn't have the external pump or extra plumbing. I'm entirely happy with decent calipers and a brake block, but that doesn't make it any less interesting or valid from an engineering perspective :) |

Unrelated, just a firmware version I suspect.
