Lost all drive

[A8 Doc]

Interesting. Did they strip and rebuild the 'brain' so to speak Amar? Reason I ask is there were a few revised parts for the ZF 5 speed that's all.

Fingers crossed for you

Oil wise, go with what your automatic specialist that YOU trust recommends. My Merc 5 speed has just had it changed as well as the electrical connector which the oil leaks past and the sump plug. Massive difference and he didn't use Mercedes oil, he used what he thought was best and the car is a different animal. It was smooth before!!

I think what you have to be careful is of being an internet mechanic where everyone else thinks they are an automatic specialist as their car has been done and it's currently fine. Find a recommended specialist (Chester I know are excellent as are C&S Transmissions in Thornaby and the chap in Billingham) and let them do their work. If that makes sense!!!

I had a chap the other day adamant that I had to alter the IAT values map on his car as he had read about this on a forum that this would produce more power from the car. Wouldn't listen to me though as he had read that!

I love that S8 in green BTW. Very very unique.
