  • Have a 2011 V10 manual spyder. I replaced the shocks early on, and the AC compressor needs to be done. And I did the brakes. Car is built like a tank. I absolutely love the car.

  • Great pointers. All things we took into consideration on our gated v10 spyder as well. with only 8k miles a couple of these things still needed to be addressed.

  • What is it about the Audi R8 Mag-ride shocks that makes them unreliable? There doesn't seem to be anything obvious about the mag-ride system that would affect the seals any more than any other shock. Other Audi models have the mag-rides and they don't seem to be such a problem or as expensive to replace. Is it a case that all shocks can leak, and it is the R8's replacement cost that make them a concern? For example, do passive shocks need replacing just as often, but are then cheaper to replace?

  • Aren't the V8 and V10s in the R8 direct injection i.e. suffer from the valves coking up over time?

    @FatHead1979@FatHead1979 Жыл бұрын
    • It's a great point, any direct injection engine will suffer with it to some extent. These V10's (and late produced V8's) were a good deal better than the early V8's as they changed the EGR calibration. Early V8's really coated the back of the valves in oil vapor which the soot stuck to like glue. Still a consideration? Yes... but not as bad.

  • What is the more significant advantage besides the BHP of a V10 over a V8?

    @nathangregory_@nathangregory_6 ай бұрын
    • Heritage maybe? The v10 is closely related to the LP 560 Lamborghini engine. Also less prone to engine coking as mentioned in the video.

      @ScottishCarClan@ScottishCarClan6 ай бұрын
    • @@ScottishCarClan I fully understand when you talk heritage. I will say this, though: it's GREAT to see someone purchase the manual over the auto and use the damn paddle shifter thinking that they have a manual shifting car. Myself IF I had the money, I think I might go with the V8, but don't quote me on that. 🙂

  • Prefer r tronic as steering wheel controls for me.and the manual is more like a tractor set up.and that noise 😮when changing gear.r tronic if Tc m update done is fine.just my opinion.
