Hi Guys
I don't see my S8 as often as usual these days. After a couple of months absence- and a flat batt- I drove her last week.

A lot of the refinement and quietness had gone. In particular, the car (FL) was noisier at low speeds- bit like a blown exhaust, but it's not so.

Picked her skirts up quite well when asked, but at low power felt sluggish and noisy. Fuel consumption poor too. Missing the usual S8 pep!

I suspected inlet manifold troubles, or possibly exhaust leaks, but couldn't hear same under the car. It sounded normal.

I'm considering exporting my car to India to keep me company out here, so a bit worried about this.
It's a long shot, and I'll have A for Audi look at it in March in any case, but any ideas?

Thanks guys.
