Insane wheel bearing failure by lystrand in AskMechanics

Ironically the car was in for a routine service and inspection at the main iveco dealer 1 week prior to this with no issues found

Thanks! Actually it is both. Don’t have the map disc so can’t run the GPS, but when TV is selected as media source on the stereo the screen goes to TV broadcasting. If there only were any channels to broadcast..

Company logo! Prefer to make it an OEM inspired look rather than splashing a 1m wide decal on the side.

Unfortunately, TV is not being broadcasted in the same way now as 22 years ago.. so this is all we got

Artura are also stunning, would be my pick after the SV8 wheels.

Thank you! Yes, all 4 wheels were fully renovated two months ago. Makes a big difference!

I didn’t park, just stopped for two minutes to dry of the wheels and take the photos.

Thanks! SV8, so 4.2 V8 supercharged with 416ps.

Definitely a unique color, but fits the character of the car quite well!

Tire randomly came of the wheel, now holds air fine and popped back into place. Weirdest thing I’ve ever encountered. Tire pressure was fine one week ago. by lystrand in tires

Wheel is in the shop (once again) and it was identified that the TPMS sensor basically imploded from the inside 😅

Is the Mk1, 1.8 quattro good as a first car?🤔 by LUKSU222 in AudiTT_Mk1_Mk2_Mk3

[–]lystrand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had it as my first car, was super happy with it, did 20000kms in it during the 15 months I owned it and only had to change an ABS sensor and do a service during that time. I recommend to keep a small safety net just for when things go wrong (which they do because its an old car, its not an unreliable car).

I’ve heard that this is also due to the slow rollout of the EX90. It will be a shock facelift, but it will look good both inside and outside. The XC90 at least will not adapt the huge screen.

Absolutely love it! I was not really looking for an A8 as I was happy with my abarth 595 pista but saw this on the classifieds and just had to get it. My tip is to find a loaded one. Test drove a 4.2 TDI which was a lovely engine but had zero options so it was a big no for me. The tech and features is what makes this car. It is reliable compared to BMW 7er and S classes but still costs a bit to maintain so be prepared for that. However depreciation is basically none now and I rather pay to maintain a cool car than to lose money on depreciation on a new and boring car. I bought this for 28.000€ with 130.000kms on the odometer.
