Replaced CAS/CPS last week. Fixed the problem, car now starts normally in all conditions.

Part arrived just in time, as S8 was giving trouble starting in all conditions. Seemed ok once started though, but I didn't trust it, so we were effectively down to 1 car!

Replacement was dead easy (on my mates hoist).
The hoist removes all access dramas and I was able to get at the sensor by simply removing the near side front wheel.
The level sensor was in line with the path of the ratchet extension, but my long extension has a partial wobble end on it, so I was able to extract the socket head bolt without any issues.

Thanks for the tips MJ!

- has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!
