Help with Suspension Settings etc
Having recently acquired a S8 D2 I need some advice on the following...
1) Suspension Settings... Checked Manual etc and don't come across any Info regarding the suspension settings. On the Web I pick up that this can be done with Vag com.... Is this correct ??? 2) Winsdscreen washer - When I got the Car the reservoir was empty. Filled it ...... but still no water coming out of the jets.... Any advice on where to start and is this a DIY job or do I need to take it in to the "Stealers" to have rectified. Thanks PS... Having an absolute ball with the Car... Really enjoying the Power and Quattro...... Stunning Car and G8 Forum...

1 - It's a D2 model, so no adjustments available (VCDS only adjusts D3). The only options are a change of suspension to lower the car.
2 - Should be a DIY job. I assume you've checked fuses, etc. You may have a cracked reservoir, or possibly just a gummed up pump, there is a thread on here somewhere I'm sure with the provedure to clean the pump.

I also had no water to washers and it was the pipe to them that had become disconnected near the wiper motor, just a simple push fit back together again

Thanx for the Help Gentleman...
1) The previous owner mentioned the suspension was adjustable and set on Sport Setting... I find this set-up appropraite to my driving style but would like to try-out the other settings... Is this an aftermarket Mod or OEM  It could be difficult to locate the Owner who would have had the Aftermarket Suspension hence my Question. How would I be able to confirm if the Suspension is OEM or a Mod....visit an Audi Dealer for Inspection... 2) Tx for the Tips on the Windscreen Washer system... I'll give it a Bash on the Weekend.....

He probable meant he had fitted an aftermarket adjustable coilover kit which may be adjustable without removal from the car. But it will be a wheels off procedure and may require the front strut being removed to adjust rebound.
