We have VAG Tuner Live at donington park on the Sunday 16th July and Audis in the park on Sunday 13th august :) 

they are for all our members. We have 4 members going to Vag Tuner Live myself included who are displaying their cars and 3-4 of us at Audis in the park. 

Would be great to have an r8 on the display! 

Check out the events page and give me a shout if your interested :) 

cheers

Audi would be your best bet. I'm sure they would have to order the key from Germany. And order it by using your chassis number. 

Cheers

Hi Chris, welcome to the forum :) 

sorrynto hear of your situation, what are you changing to?

Cheers

Hello olgert, 

as has already been mentioned by magnet the shocks should be changed in pairs :) 

im wondering if the R8 has the metal files (metal shards) in the shocks similar to what the Audi TT mk2 had? 

The idea behind the metal shards was when they were magnetised it would stiffen the ride. Could be controlled by the driver from within the cabin. It was an optional extra on the mk 2 TT but I wonder if it was standard on the R8. 

This could be what the mechanic is referring too. 

Cheers

Gotcha! 

Truthfully I think the only way you'll know if it's the socket is by buying one. But like you said that's not something you necessarily want to do if it's the wiring. 

The other option is to go whole hog and replace both

Good shout Darren. Meeting at donny services sounds like a good plan :) 

you decided to display your Audi then Darren?! ;) 

and im the same, iv not met anyone else from on here yet

No problem,

Have a great trip Mr Q.

Thanks Dan :) 

il do a full report when I return :) 

No worries :) 

hmmm, what do you use the cigarette lighter for? 

You could be overloading the socket. The wiring can't take a great level of voltage etc. 

Your welcome :) 

This I would imagine some form of recall. Probably a computer software update. 

Cheers

Steve

Your welcome :) 

oh you can't keep em clean in the poor weather! 

Thanks Dan, dont worry I will be keeping an eye on it. 

If it happens again I think il have to have the servo or abs module replaced. 

Thanks for your advice :) 

cheers

Ok then matey thank you

Your most welcome :) 

And iv replied to your message on the show thread :) 

Update

garage couldn't find anything mechanically wrong with the a6. They suspect that when they did the brake fluid change in March that air may have got into the system. 

So after a second brake fluid change the brakes are working fine now! Fingers crossed it's all sorted and I can go to Belgium with peace of mind! 

Thanks for all your help all :)
