Hi All,
A general post with two specific cases; hope you all find it (slightly) interesting...
1. My wipers failed, I learned how to diagnose by reading the forum, got advice the part was US and then Our Sponsors pulled a set off a car just in "cos I am a regular on the Forum"!
2. A forum search using the word "Moaning" brought up an exact result: cavitation of the power steering pump because of low fluid AND a prediction of where the system may be leaking.
This will allow me to plan for the repair next year, avoiding a shock and making me more willing to "invest" in an older car that has a "market worth" less than the repair.
As another regular user (Steamship??) says, the value of the vehicle is based on more than market price; how much is it worth to you? How much to replace with a similar quality vehicle? Again something I kind of understood but the Forum helped me put this into words.
So: a toast! The A8 Forum; an essential part of MY A8 ownership!
