laytonanthony Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Has a nice feature which is a paid factory extra. The engine bay led lights which light up the entire engine bay. There is a switch which is timed. You push it and lock the car and the engine and front drls light up for 2mins so ppl can see the engine. Pretty kool tbh lol Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk Edited November 30, 2015 by laytonanthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laytonanthony Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 I would be getting a thorough check over for peace of mind. Come on more pictures My mate works at worcester audi and their master technician does weekend jobs in his home garage for a 3rd of the price, then takes service book into audi and stamps it lol. So it's all in hand once I get it back after dropping it off tomorrow! Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laytonanthony Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Well that was an eventful afternoon. First thing the rep said after inspection was they could not get under the hood due to the bonnet lever being broke(which I did) easy fix. He then went onto saying the oil was very low and needs immediate attention. I laughed at him. I said how did your mechanic come to that conclusion? You've just told me you couldn't get to the engine? Also I checked the oil yesterday and it was full and at the correct levels. On that note I told the service rep to print off the health check and I'll be going elsewhere.

GreenLandy Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 And pretty much every other main dealer. Trouble with the R8 is that they probably figure you don't know what you're on about, or care what it costs, so try and blag work out of you.

laytonanthony Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Hi guys Found one today. Local garage that gave dealt in loads. They actually had 2 in when I went. They did say, tbh not much goes wrong on these motors. Most common was oil, cooler and mag ride suspension. Good to know they are a pretty reliable motor. Parked up in town earlier, came back to find a group of kids having their pictures took by it lol 😂🙈 the one kid asked if he could sit in it. I said knock yourself out kiddo lol.

That's the sort of @*!# that stopped me from using my local Audi stealer. "Master Technicians" trained to specialise in RS/R8 models (for whom they charge 50% more to work on your car!)- what a joke, I had to explain to him how the effin thing worked!! Nice car tho, take it to a specialist and enjoy driving it 👠Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laytonanthony Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Literally because it's an r8 the parts are over priced as well as the labour from the so called technicians. Armytrix wanted 6k to supply and fit a valve controlled exhaust. Mega priced. I've gone with a company called "topgear" who offer the exact same exhaust with remote valve controlled. To r8 forum members they offer it for £1300. It's got so good reviews and now all the yanks are ordering them as they are made here in the UK. How can they justify a 5k difference for an exhaust. Ridiculous! Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a sexy looking car Tbh I keep popping my head out the window to look at it. Such a beautiful looking car. I never thought when I first seen an r8 I'd ever get to drive one let alone own one lol. Hard work pays off. Misses gave me the unrealistic ultimatum the other night. She said "if you had to choose between me or that bloody car who would you choose?" I genuinely paused and had to think. Went down like a tramp on chips. 😂😂😂😂 she wasn't best pleased lol Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
