I could get the tensioner from the bottom, with the bumper pulled slightly forward (removed the two large bolts). I didn't touch the fan.

I run Pirelli Nero on stock 18s in the colder months and they have been great, but I only average around 3k/year so no idea if they're long lasting. They still look new on my S8, and have had them 3...

A D4 out of warranty scares the $hit out of me with the plethora of electronic gremlin stories I've read about. The D3 FSI has its own set of engine problems as well. A trouble free tranny is nice,...

Oh I agree. I'd like to think mine is worth more than average, but I really have no idea what average is anymore.

Nice! The low mileage ones are getting pretty darn rare these days. There was that brown on tan one a while back (53k miles IIRC) that was listed at $18k. It sold pretty quickly too. I'd love to...

What's not to like? A lot.

He chose a motor with little to no room for mods. The 32V won't take on FI like perhaps a 40V forged-rod motor could (think RS6) without some serious internal rework....

Nope, can't say I've heard anything crazier than that. I've never known one Lambo owner that's given 2 sh!ts about maintenance costs. Is the car stolen?

I can't see the point of this build. You're...

I repaired mine by replacing it with a new one. I think it was $99 from eeuroparts.

I had a different issue. The radio lights just stayed on, even with the car off.

What was your mileage? I still haven't done mine, but I'm at 78.5k and not a squeak, groan, or pop to be heard. Bushings all look good, and alignment came out perfect. Would I have any reason to...

Nice mileage! But, $17k?!!

It seems a year or two ago, low mileage S8s could fetch near $15k. Seems to be so many $5k-10k ones for sale now, but most nearer 200k miles. Mileage is always a factor...

Wow that's disgusting. Mine's been replaced twice in 78k miles. I'll continue to do it as a maintenance item. For the cost, why not right?

Any transmission worries? I mean, 22hp shouldn't make a huge deal regardless, and a 13YO S8 probably didn't start with the original 360 anyways. For $580, it's on my to do list.

Edit: I see you...

I dreaded removing mine, but they came right out with no heat, no oil...just a ratchet. I'm guessing this is an issue on east coast cars. The hardest part for me was getting the ball joint to...

I'm using the Stoptech Street Performance on my S8...way less dust than stock. If I put a ton of miles on it, I'd probably go with the Posi-quiets. Both made by Centric.
