I had 21s on my prior V8 D5. I have 20s on this one. I much prefer the 20s. Quieter and smoother.

Just bought a Defender for the wife, who likes the high seating position and cargo hauling of an SUV. It's a really nice car and very solid. As much as I like it, I don't think I would want it as my...

No, but two cylinders had low compression. Audi recommended a full engine replacement, which my extended warranty paid for. Ticket was over $25k.

Got the car back on Saturday and got the new BSG. All is working well. No charge to me for the BSG, battery or labor.

One more vote for AWS. The top view camera is great, but if I had to choose, it would be AWS. Makes a huge difference in turning radius which I imagine would be important on narrow roads.

Yep. I wanted to offer my view without coming off like a d***. So many times responses to these kinds of "how does this look" threads are super rude. It's your car, do what you like. Not for me,...

It's not really my thing, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think that kit makes the car look like it's sitting in a big plastic tray. I much prefer the original. However, it's your car, so...

Somewhere on here there is a link to the TSB. It has the old and new part numbers in it, I believe.

12v battery dead as a result of BSG failure. Service manager says 8-10 days on the part. He hopes we get the new version BSG rather than the old. We shall see.

Anyway, I have the same issue with my front shade. It won't...

They told me they scoped the cylinders. I assume that means that they saw something they didn't like. I figured that the rings failed and the pistons ruined the block. Aluminum blocks can't take...

Why I always keep a warranty in place

So, I've always kept an extended warranty in place on my A8s (except for about 15K miles on my last one - bullet dodged) and now I know first hand that it's the right choice. My engine was running a...

Android Auto is different from Apple CarPlay. In my 2019, AA requires a wired connection to the phone. Later models have wireless AA.

Because not all of us use iPhones nor do we want to plug in our phones every time we get in the car. It's a matter of personal preference. Different folks, different strokes and all.

There is a lengthy discussion of this in other threads. It requires removal of the bumper and I believe the front grill to change. It's a very expensive process.

It looks like it would fit. It's worth a shot given the cost of installing the OEM bracket.
