Hi all,
Just a little update on my s8 d3 that I bought in november last year as my birthday present
:
Can say with no doubt car is fantastic but I didnt have good start with it
few issues came up so I got to get it to garage with blown flexi pipes and meanitime s8 develop another fault (power steering leak,hose from steering rack) which put my car of the road for about month as it was christmas time
When I finally got it to garage decided to few other things in one go
oil and air filters
cv boot as it was split and trowing all grease out
fix exhaust
replace steering rack pipe
fix broken air filter pipe
investigate sloppy steering
checking all suspension for worn bushes/joints
After all this I give her new(correct d3 multispoke 9j wide) shoes which I have from member of our forum tc4332. Massive thank you Ray!
Got wheels fully refurbed in dark shadow chrome and 2 new pirellis went on to match other pair
Then 4 wheel alignment done to absolutely transform car driveability...wow! what a result!
Big thanks to Neil too which help me to get trough all this and point me to right direction and right people
Still having few issues so car is booked for tomorrow in garage for fuel smell in cabin(intermittent,appears after hard acceleration) screenwash leak and some exhaust adjustment as its makes whistling noise
Im trying to make It as best as possible to enjoy driving it and hopefully take it to annual meet in scotland lol
Im adding few pics of her for U guys to look and feel free to comment and give me any suggestions
