Ten cents worth from me as a total amateur with no intention (or skills) to do a manual conversion on a RHD S8, but bear with me....

I don't know what the actual major issue is with fitting a clutch; the footspace is tight, so no footrest or even big feet, or is it space above to mount a pivot ...

Sorry, I wrote a reply to your PM and forgot to press send :roll:

Unfortunately you're going to have to figure the clutch out from scratch. There's almost nothing published on how to do it because its very difficult and there are only a few in existence. I didn't take any pics of mine and you ...

Yeah I was on ETKA the other day trying to cross reference part numbers and supersedes etc. I'm going to go with the refurb. Theres a place round the corner from me but recently they've been a bit hit and miss with which units they can/can't rebuild. Until then, I'm back in the MK4 Golf V5 as a daily

I think you're right. Main advantage would have been maps and maybe MP3 playback. Imagine Audi started doing updated head units similar to Porsche's PCM+, I tihnk they're missing a trick

I Was looking at a RNS-e unit but I did so much research I ended up frying my brain. At one point it seemed really easy, then I muat have come across another post which confused me so I thought I'd stick with w factory unit. I must have deleted the Pioneer pics but the car is coming back to me next ...

thats good news for me. Any pics of the pedal arrangement as thats the only thing stressing me out at the moment, that and the gearing of the 01E I've bought. I believe it's an ENV code

Hello

I have rebuilt around 15 D2 alternators including custom ones that survived trips to the ring.
It's about £25-30 in parts to rebuild one to a high standard.


Before I read this my plan was to to whip it off and send it off for repair. Found a company online offering a repair with 1 year ...

I’ve just taken delivery of a 01E 6 speed manual gearbox. Could well be out of my depth here. The last time I did anything like this was when I stuck a MK3 Golf GTI engine into a T25 Transporter (don’t ask why). Any wisdom and insights into how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated. My ...

It came with a really old and clunky Kenwood double din which had its own garmin navigation module etc so I swapped it out for a Pioneer DA250DAB head unit with hands free, carplay, Sub in the boot. Having a camera on the barge was essential as it didn have parking sensors. The S8 does have sensors ...

Love the custom logo. Do you need the logo in a certain format or just a design?
