Bugdrvr posted:Not sure about other brands but Porsche puts their cars into "transport mode" while they are being, um, transported that kills a bunch of the accessories and limits speed to 30km/h. Or plug in a VAGcom tool with an android device and start rocking.

I bet this car went sideways into a curb, the ball-joint failed and the control arm smashed into the rotor killing both in one blow.

I knew a guy who had the same thing happen on the same type of truck. He was running it lowered though and the shaft kept rubbing on something underneath until it gave.

Frank Dillinger posted:Doesn't hurt that A8s are all-aluminium. I'm curious how much more expensive to insure that makes them, seeing as how it's so much harder to fix properly. I just bought a 2006 A8L (D3) and I'm paying about $100 a month full coverage. Not too bad considering. I'm also over 30 and married so YMMV.

bolind posted:Please post pictures of that? Here you go. These were all quickies at the dealer that I used for getting the wife's OK.     $15,702 out the door from a local dealer (TTL included) with a fresh battery and key. Sorry, no failures here. Doing the timing belt this next week in hopes of keeping it that way.

The D2 is solid so long as you do the timing belt and keep an extra $3500 around for when the 5 speed ZF trans finally fails.

More of a WTF failure than horrible, but why the gently caress does a seemingly undamaged PCV valve sound like a flock of turkeys being raped? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkG5NW4YJWw

Slavvy posted:Because VAG are pathologically incapable of making anything plastic last longer than a year. A bit of an exaggeration but not too far off. The worst I've had so far is a $10 connector pipe that brings coolant from the block past the oil-cooler. It got old and cracked and started leaking fluid. $10 part, $1300 labor. That was the cheap way out. Dealer wanted to pull the engine with over $2k labor.

DefaultPeanut posted:Finny a munched cam story comes up; we just had two Honda TRX680 engined machines, one quad and one side by side, come in with poor running off idle and lack of power, with louder than normal induction noise from the air box. Cue ~2.5 hrs of diag per machine from two different techs. Compression test and leak down show fairly normal results for the mileage. Normal results for fuel pressure, and other fuel / ignition related problems. Checking the valve clearances showed 5 times the allowable for the exhaust on both machines. The cam on these machines mounts on top the the cylinder, below the cylinder head. You can only inspect it by removing the rocker cover, pulling the push rods and buckets and looking at the lobes. The exhaust bucket on both were almost worn through and the lobe was almost worn down to the base circle. I'm not even sure how they ran. Now replacing a camshaft turns into rebuilding the entire top end, as there are a bunch of 'while you are in there' things. I'd be quite concerned about what led to that state. Cams aren't supposed to be wear and tear replacement items.

Seat Safety Switch posted:My neighbour owns what I assume is some kind of small contracting firm and he told me the other day (after seeing me rattle gunning some struts on my driveway) that he got rid of his S-class because a set of shocks cost $4400 before labour. Probably air or magnetic or whatnot. My A8 had air struts and Audi wanted $3,600 to replace the front in just parts. Of course there are third party rebuilds available which cost well below half of that.
