Hi All,

Just a little update on the Audi A8.

I’ve been pretty busy with the motor, doing a lot of work myself. I’ve so far completed the following tasks.

• Fixed central locking pump – bought repair kit from eBay (here)
• Unblocked rain water drain at front causing possible flooding over fuse box in passenger footwell.
• Fixed passenger front speakers (rain water corroded connector, see vid)
• Debadged all but the Audi badge on rear
• Fitted rubber car mats
• Replaced rear number plate

Upcoming plans:

• Rolling road at end of March to ascertain current power (factory was 300BHP)
• K&N panel filter ready to fit
• Longlife exhaust being fitted at Herts Auto Tek on 4th April
• Remap scheduled for May (+16BHP, and plenty of torque)
• Maybe uprated fuel pumps etc.

I aim to make 330BHP (in line with the S8 of similar year). We’ll see.
