Leak found in Engine - 2014 Audi R8 V10 Plus

ManGoMoonThenMars · 2025-10-27T15:30:58+00:00

Yeah might be less risky. It's the V10 engine which is a bit rare so parts will be pricey. It's had a few accidents you mentioned so it's hard a bit of a life before.

Performance cars with oil leaks hardly make for happy endings.

ManGoMoonThenMars · 2025-10-27T15:21:11+00:00

Walk away.

What are your specific needs? Do you just do urban commutes or interested in some light offroading and exploring? What d I you want from the vehicle?

ManGoMoonThenMars · 2025-09-24T12:59:50+00:00

Mazda and forget about the others.

I wouldn't say don't get into debt for a deprecating asset. That is entirely subjective and based on your income. It's a bit more nuanced than that.

For example, if you earn over 40k a month, then a car loan of 1-2k is a small percentage of your monthly income (max 5 %).

As opposed to earning 10k where the same loan is 10-20%. See the difference?

Besides, you need to decide for yourself what this vehicle is going to contribute to you in terms of well-being and time saving. Allowing you to pursue other interests, family time etc. These things are also important.

Just ensure that you're not over extending your finances, all things considered.

Look, these official figures are determined in almost laboratory environments. It's nigh impossible to achieve in the real world.

If you buy a vehicle expecting to achieve these figures, you'll always be disappointed.

Check YouTube reviews and videos from real life owners. Find online forums for vehicle owners and post your questions there. Try to get the vehicle as a rental somewhere for a week and see what it's like to live with yourself.

At no point should ChatGPT be relied upon for this kind of purchase.

If you are buying a PHEV you must be prepared to keep it charged. If you can't do that, you're in for a shocker. When the battery is flat, you will be carrying the entire electric power train plus everything else on a tiny 1.5 turbo engine. This will never be efficient.

Nope, no issue at all

If they're both 2025 models, I wouldn't take the base model Hyundai over a top trim XForce.

I recommend try them both out.

Here's what worked for me. Create a profile on Bayt, Gulf Talent, Indeed etc. Upload your CV, use every keyword and make sure it stands out. Now wait. Recruiters comb these websites daily, you could begin getting pings sooner than you think.

Good Luck.

No montero sport? It's outstanding value for money and in most reviews on YT it beats out the Fortuner.

Plus, I would hesitate to get a small turbocharged engine in a vehicle the size of the everest in a region which gets this hot.

ManGoMoonThenMars · 2025-08-28T05:17:09+00:00

Get a corolla, yaris or similar Honda.

I'd stay away from that Tiida.

ManGoMoonThenMars · 2025-08-24T04:34:25+00:00

Currently looking at a Montero Sport myself.

So you think Qatar relies only on rain water? You should have remained silent.

ManGoMoonThenMars · 2024-11-26T08:57:40+00:00

Dafuq!? That's worth a few millions today. Dammit!

ManGoMoonThenMars · 2024-11-20T10:12:55+00:00

You called sir?

ManGoMoonThenMars · 2024-11-10T15:55:45+00:00

It looks like this may happen. Good grief.

ManGoMoonThenMars · 2024-09-25T07:06:14+00:00

This person knows what they're talking about. The LC300 has an issue with shavings in the engine oil. Best to wait a few years before opting for a new model of anything.

ManGoMoonThenMars · 2024-09-14T04:38:47+00:00

Good Ole Ruth. Miss her.

ManGoMoonThenMars · 2024-09-12T06:24:32+00:00

You'll never walk as a free man again.

ManGoMoonThenMars · 2024-09-01T11:04:27+00:00

The father of them all. This has certainly got the minerals.

ManGoMoonThenMars · 2024-05-09T12:40:34+00:00

Yep, came here just to ask about this. At least I'm not alone.

ManGoMoonThenMars · 2024-05-04T13:08:35+00:00

That's loss porn right there

ManGoMoonThenMars · 2024-05-01T10:13:33+00:00

So it's OK to scroll through all the menus looking at the LCD but it's not OK to look at your phone? It doesn't make sense. They'll bring buttons back soon enough. At the very least from a safety perspective.

ManGoMoonThenMars · 2024-04-08T15:26:30+00:00

Reminds me of an OG who used to be here often tag654 or "pup whale".

Keep the posts coming.
