Agree.

What have they said is wrong, dealers tend to blanket diagnose, ie replace everything on the system. 4 x shocks, pump, ecu in one swoop. This way they guarantee to fix the problem, not very good for your pocket though

[rstoughy]

hahaha no Ian i'll keep it.

Not wanting to bog down the thread with non donny stuff so will keep it short and try to cover most things.

2x front shocks are leaking. £1100 each + £350 per side labour
Oil leak from one of the turbos. £1200 + £1600 labour
Have another leak between the engine and box and they "estimate" between £4-6K to fix that. Timing chain is on the back of the V8 between the engine and the box and its basically a case of lift the car off the whole drivetrain then split it apart. problem with that is that when they are in there id want them to replace anything that looked iffy and probably also the chains.

I have found a company in the states who do shocks for $690 each and the head guy in my local dealership will fit them for me outwith hrs so think thats the route im going to go.
Thinking i might fit new rears at the same time as they are all the same age and am looking to start towing the CSL to track this year with it.


Oil leaks i can live with, both combined give me a drip the size of a 5p overnight out the undertray. think a soak mat tie wrapped in there will sort that out

Shimmy,
The RS6 was in my mind when this occured, looked into conversion kits but none available for the A8 barge.

None of the indi's locally will look at it, can of worms seems to be the usual out come of any conversation.

Still looking at a couple of grand with the shocks only though so as i say play is off until it's back on the road. (hopefully by mid Feb)
