Silver front grill strip replacement
Does anybody know someone who has had a front bumper damage to the Audi A8 2015 plate Quattro that is being replaced? If so do they have a contact number as I need the silver strip that is broken on the bottom of the Grill under the number plate as shown in the photograph that you can see it missing. .

Transmission box lifelong unit
Please be aware, if you have an Audi with a sealed transmission unit, Audi will say it’s lifelong. This means lifelong for the warranty of the gearbox only… If your car has 40,000+ miles on it or is over 2-3 years, get Audi or an Audi specialist to check the transmission fluid. I have an Audi A8 LWB and went into Audi for a health check with 113,000 miles yet. Audi did not feel the need to check the transmission fluid 😞 My Audi has now done 150,000, when I spoke to Audi they were only going to change the transmission fluid and not the filter… that could mean the filter would have contaminated the new transmission fluid 🧐 I went to JMR VW & Audi specialists in Littlehampton West Sussex who did a transmission fluid change and filter to find my fluid was black when it should have been clear, my car thankfully is ok and I can count myself very lucky but this could’ve been avoided if Audi were to include a transmission fluid check when they do their health checks on older cars that you take to them. my point is if your car has done over 40,000 miles go to a specialist to get the transmission fluid checked or even replaced as it is not a lifelong sealed unit as oil deteriorate over time…

Driver seat air cooler stays on for 25 seconds
My Audi A8L driver seat air cooler only stays on for 25 seconds. I have checked all the connections to the back of the seat by disconnecting each component and the seat still goes off after 25 seconds for each. I have disconnected the electrics to the seat on the floor under the drivers seat and the air cool system switch lights stayed on and don’t go off after 25 seconds when switched on. I have removed the unit with the switched on and checked the back of it to see if any wires are kinked or damaged and can’t find any. in short when the seat is connected and up and running the air cool system only stays on for 25 seconds, when the seat plug is disconnected underneath the seat the air cooler blue lights stay on and do not go off after 25 seconds. Does anyone have any ideas as I think it is possibly the switch unit itself that needs to be replaced. If anyone else has had this issues and has resolved this, I would love to know how. Respectfully Simon
