Decisions
It seems like I have some hard decisions to make...
My poor pf S8 has decided to start laying down more oil than the Exxon Valdiz, yes - its the dreaded seal between the block and the oil cooler/ filter housing. The parts aren't the issue at just over £12 (+ fluids & oil filter), its the labour, just had a very disappointing call from the dealer, who having got the job time and details e-mailed from Germany put the figure as around the £850 mark.... So what do I do  I'm of the mind to think that my 5 year 'affair' with the S8 has to come to an end, as despite being a reasonable mechanic, my disability seriously curtails my chances of a DIY solution. Logically, I need a smaller vehicle anyway as a partially disabled mature student - currently on a tight budget..... I'd like to stick with Audi, maybe an A4 or an A2, as I need plenty of headroom being quite a tall guy... I may even consider having my first 'soot chucker' in 35 years of car ownership (oh the humiliation) Budget wise, it'd be the S8 + about £1k We buy any car offers just over £1k with faults declared A truly sad day, as I love my '8' ...... your thoughts peeps? Richard....
