A few days earlier I did this same journey in my sisters MK4 Golf GT TDI 130 1.9 TDI and went around a roundabout at about 40 and it felt horribly un composed and 'wobbly' today I took it in the S8 at 55ish and oh my god, it gripped and went around it so well, I then dropped it down a gear via the tiptronic to third and accelerated down a slip road like a bat out of hell overtaking a Focus that had joined rather aggressively so I am assuming he had his foot down (Two lane slip road) and making it look like it was being reeled backwards.

Came home along some country roads and it just flew, and now for some reason, its actually got an exhaust note/noise, it never used to. It's defiantly not my imagination either.

The gearbox though, it doesn't seem smoother in the slightest, just the same as it was before it blew up, but it was very good beforehand so I'm happy with that.

Hey there,

How have things been going? Any issues to report, or has the job been a total success?
