Have a 2011 V10 manual spyder. I replaced the shocks early on, and the AC compressor needs to be done. And I did the brakes. Car is built like a tank. I absolutely love the car.

what did you replace them with? passive??

@bb57365 8 ай бұрын

KW passive coil overs. Lowered a bit. Incredible handling.

Great pointers. All things we took into consideration on our gated v10 spyder as well. with only 8k miles a couple of these things still needed to be addressed.

Hi mate. Good video. Is a R tronic less good than a manual?

What do you think about gen 2 r8? Gavin gen 1 GT spyder and a gen 2 v10plus coupe… both in Suzuka gray.. I’m thinking if stay with both for collective reasons or let go the gen 2…!

Same issues as my 08 civic

@AnythingEvil78 Жыл бұрын

All things considered, they are relatively minor issues if you are looking at a 'Supercar'. Even less if you live in a drier climate than Scotland.

What is it about the Audi R8 Mag-ride shocks that makes them unreliable? There doesn't seem to be anything obvious about the mag-ride system that would affect the seals any more than any other shock. Other Audi models have the mag-rides and they don't seem to be such a problem or as expensive to replace. Is it a case that all shocks can leak, and it is the R8's replacement cost that make them a concern? For example, do passive shocks need replacing just as often, but are then cheaper to replace?

Aren't the V8 and V10s in the R8 direct injection i.e. suffer from the valves coking up over time?

@ScottishCarClan Жыл бұрын

It's a great point, any direct injection engine will suffer with it to some extent. These V10's (and late produced V8's) were a good deal better than the early V8's as they changed the EGR calibration. Early V8's really coated the back of the valves in oil vapor which the soot stuck to like glue. Still a consideration? Yes... but not as bad.

What is the more significant advantage besides the BHP of a V10 over a V8?

@ScottishCarClan 8 ай бұрын

Heritage maybe? The v10 is closely related to the LP 560 Lamborghini engine. Also less prone to engine coking as mentioned in the video.

@nathangregory_ 8 ай бұрын

@@ScottishCarClan I fully understand when you talk heritage. I will say this, though: it's GREAT to see someone purchase the manual over the auto and use the damn paddle shifter thinking that they have a manual shifting car. Myself IF I had the money, I think I might go with the V8, but don't quote me on that. 🙂
