Great mod +++ I was tinkering with the smaller 2.8 cover, but this one is much nicer :)
If anyone struggles to get stuff from their local TPS then drop me a line as I have an account :) I know some of the branches are more picky than others about dealing with the public, although going in with part numbers does help. I can order things and post them if needed. |
And, Marcin, reference our previous discussions on oil filler caps, please note the orientation of the oil filler cap :p :ROFL:

Unless it's manufacturer's fault on D2s and audi have realised that and fitted oil caps on D3s the right way. Have you got original D2 brochure by any chance including engine pics?? |
I checked engine pics in original D2 brochure before doing the oil filler cap mod and it is oriented horizontally, just like on pictures in this thread +++

UPDATE:
Looking at pictures from Audi user manual the small plastic cover doesn't have to be removed, but I still think it looks cleaner without it. Googling for pictures of A8 3.3 engine revealed that almost all 3.3 cars don't have it. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1484309410 |

Now with new coolant reservoir.
Interestingly, the bonnet sound insulation has got recesses for the plastic trim exactly where needed -- see picture 3. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1485698676 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1485698676 http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1485698676 |
That's a great mod, you're right it balances the engine bay perfectly.
I want a Porsche oil cap for mine too, but Awesome GTi weren't able to confirm that it wouldn't need modifying on my car. |

For me the next step is Audi R8 coolant cap.
Since Audi R8 cap has got different thread the cap needs a bit of work. Picture demonstrates the issue. http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1485719315 |
