Odd question re servicing
Just looked online at Audi's fixed price servicing for the S8 (as I don't like the idea of 18,000 oil intervals) and I noticed they are quoting on things like cambelt and water pump, I may be wrong but I thought the V10 was chain and tensioner? Did I make that up?
Also, at what point would anyone recommend replacing the water pump? Thanks

Your not imagining it. The v10 is indeed chain driven like all the other fsi engines.
In regards to water pump replacement I don't know when would be a sensible mileage to replace at.

I thought that was the case but it seems odd Audi would want to offer prices on something that doesn't exist, and hilariously, nearly £500 for a set of front pads alone!
What are everyone's recommendations for discs and pads on the non-ceramic S8? ECP list two different types of front calipers and a mix of pad suppliers, brembo, textar and so on, including ATE ceramic (anyone tried these?), I also know EBC do pads but I'm not a fan of their offer wings. Ferrodo DS2500 available anywhere?

I've got ATE discs and pads on my S8, bought from Germany with considerable help by Marcin, I'd highly recommend them
