Appreciate all the responses folks. Went and looked at a Bose specced car at the weekend which was very nice indeed. Didn't really get that much chance to play with the audio. Was a lovely lovely car...

Looking to buy a D4 - options advice please

Hi there all,

I'm in negotiations on a couple of 3.0TDI D4s. Really are lovely cars. I've had a D2 S8 for the past 12 months and I've loved it. An A8 convert (always been an Audi man). The fuel...

They are yes, to follow the curve of the bumper as you say. Reality is, the bumper isn't as curved as the offset in the tailpipe is, so one does protrude further than the other but it still looks...

New stainless steel exhaust on S8 D2 (with pics)

So I've had the S8 nearly 12 months now and I've been slowly trying to improve it where possible. Wheels refurbed. Machine polished etc. I'm about to have some of the bodywork blemishes sorted but...

Squeaky steering wheel help

Hi All,

So 6 months in and I'm loving the S8 but it has a squeaky steering wheel. Like the sort of creak you get when opening a door slowly. Has it for most of any journey, worst when cold.

Help on choosing new exhaust for S8 please

Hi all,

Appreciate a few threads on S8 exhausts but wanted to ask the question still.

To add to this, just had 4 Goodyear Eagle F1s fitted for £476 (fitted and balanced). Thought a very good price indeed.

Sensible upgrade from non Bose system

So I've had the S8 for about 2 months now and I must admit that the non-Bose system is a bit poor. I've got a 2004 8N TT which has Bose and the sound is much better.

My question is, how easy is it...

Indeed they are. Look good refurbed to fair - mine are an absolute state. Blistered and scratched horrendously.

The Avus is a fine looking wheel just a bit small for the S8 IMO. Especially in...

That sounds a bargain given the tyres included. Given the rubber needed on these each new tyre is looking at least £175 which can't be ignored.
