Hi Sergey,
yes, I did it when the battery was out. I noticed it drew a very small current when car was off, so I thought better take it out. Also I dont want it coming on automatically in case it kills this poor Bosch battery, it wont hold a full charge, I think its almost finished. Hi SilverS8, the mystery part is a heated windscreen control unit and mounting bracket. We should start the mystery part game again, it was fun. |

Time for more weights. Here is a comparison of some A8 suspension parts and S8 suspension parts, and rear leveling suspension.
Also a guest appearance of Secondary Air Injection parts. I estimate I saved another 10kg from removing self leveling suspension and SAI. A8 front shock A8 front Spring A8 self leveling rear shocks A8 rear springs S8 front shock S8 front spring S8 rear shock S8 rear spring SAI parts (almost all) self leveling reservoir and pipe, some pipes missing Last edited by Goran; 16th April 2014 at 07:57 PM. |

Thanks Sergey, although all credit is due to MRC for their hard work.
I forgot one picture, here is the front subframe in its box. Actual weight is 20kg according to dealer's computer. It is amazing, a piece of stamped sheet steel which carries the engine, transmission and suspension against the weight of the chassis is so light, yet a seat to carry a person weighs 34kg, ridiculous Last edited by Goran; 18th April 2014 at 08:34 PM. |
