Bigfub Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Morning All :) Having had an A6 in the past I decided that I should follow a similar route this time around, although this time I seem to have gone for an A8 instead. I'm certainly happy as can be so far although I'm still working my way through the manual (and using trial and error) to get to grips with everything.

James Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Hi Stuart, welcome to AOC. Must admit I do like a nice A8... got any pics? What engine/spec did you go for? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfub Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 I'll get some pics at the weekend but she's silver with black leather interior and the V8 4.0 TDi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfub Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 I will get around to pics soon but she's been off the road for the last week after a faulty relay caused the compressor to run non-stop so that's all being replaced in the next few days.

Oh that's a bit of bad luck. Cheap enough though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfub Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 Local VAG specialist thankfully as a compressor direct from Audi would be £1250 on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch that would have been a bit of a shock after just getting the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would but that's the peril of buying a car that's a few years old I guess. Still, once it's done then (fingers crossed) there won't be any more major issues ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfub Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 They were snowed under and the bill is very reasonable in all fairness too :) Picking her up in a couple of hours and looking forward to it, the other half's Peugeot 207 just isn't the same...
