Sat here thinking about the A8 I hardly drive and the bits that's wrong with it.
This line of thinking makes me doubt keeping it but I want to keep it. So I'm going to make a list of stuff that needs fixing, bits I want to add/remove and sell.
Gives me something to aim for and hopefully puts it in to a manageable list and not seem to daunting.
Broken and fix repair list:
Head lights- 501 bulb over heated. Melted the plastic and broke off inside. Possibly issue with drivers side light due to RTI.
Boot soft close motor- snapped teeth in motor. Needs replacing.
Drivers wing- dented, pushed in and missing paint due to RTI.
Front Bumper- missing paint and damaged due to RTI.
2 door handles- lock buttons not working. Front passenger. Rear drivers.
2 door handles- unlock sensors not working. Drivers front door. Passenger rear door.
2 doors- soft close not working. Front drivers. Rear drivers.
AC- possibly a pump.
Sunroof- refuses to close from fully open. Only closes with a helping hand.
Front passengers brake pads- warning light keeps coming on when turning left.
Steer wheel- squeeks when turning.
Rear lights- failing LEDs.
Passenger rear floor heaters- not working.
Drivers electric window- making a grinding noise. Like the metal cables are going to snap.
Rear brake discs- needs replacing.
Wants:
AMI.
Reversing Camera.
Larger rear brakes.
US Style front end with W12 grill.
S8 LED headlights.
Solar Sun roof.
Aux heater with parking pump and remote.
