Do you mean separate the motor from the gear box and aply a 'gasket' of tape ?

Those R8 wheels looked like trash on the car, glad you switched to stock. Welcome to the A8 club, although sounds like you got taken on price and condition of the car. Being in Cali you should have shopped around, you had many options unless it was a knee-jerk purchase.

I like the wheels that came on it. The spare in mine is the original blade type and I think it stinks.

Default Connect to what?

Does it have AMI? If so, it would have had to be retrofitted since it wasn't offered as an option until mid 2007. It would look like a second drive unit next to the CD changer in the glove box.

You bought an 8 year old luxury car because you had issues with your A6 upholders? And why would you be concerned about that silly check engine light? As a dealer I can say that I wait for you, I dream that you will appear to take this expensive trade off my hands

No, i didn't say i got rid of the A6 because it was expensive to maintain
I just said it had quality issues, just like the other VAG cars i've owned.
Sold it because i had a good offer for it and too many toys atm.
That was 4 years ago btw.

CEL is off by the way. Came off the next day after i posted and hasn't come back since.

Yeah, you can wait for me at the stealership

PS. your attitude is half the reason i don't visit your places of 'business'

I don't have the AMI, it just looks like a storage space on the right side of the CD Changer
