Sounds like compressor motor noise, not really hearing any hissing. Since the OEM was so quiet, I'm not sure how frequently it would activate, but now that I can hear it, it is seems to be soon after...

Selling the A8 question.

I think its time to sell my 2007 A8. Has anyone bought or sold a car through the forum marketplace? I often see a lot of banter there, but not sure if any deals are being sealed.

I've got the part, I assumed the thick wire with the white slide clip is what I plug into, but the end of it is not a match. Could it be the thinner wire? I assumed that was power.
