Default After 15000, more trouble

So, 2500 miles after the service:
The convience close for windows is inoperative, as is the bootlid servo closing thing. Oh, and turning the xenons into day time running lights a la volvo was either forgotten or is impossible. Safety, whats the use.

Rant over, enjoy your cars.

Default Re: Yes!

Do tell me more please.

Default On the W12 it's the LED lights that activate with DRL, very cool looking

and then they stay on, but dim down when you put the Xenons on.

Default DRL isn't on the A8 in the UK, apart from the W12

Audi wanted to show off the LED running lights.

Default Well, that sucks. On the other hand, you have toys we don't have, so...

I guess it's a small price to pay.

Default LED's are a gimmick in my opinion, saving 30W according to audi

Anyways, going to dealer tomorrow to sort out glitches. Wish me luck on DRL's
