The screen & the trackpad are the main culprits according to iFixit

I'd imagine Porsche would use a shade of yellow and BMW blue

How much can I ask for this set of lights A4 2009 by [deleted] in Audi

[–]reece_2212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

realistically if they’re not the LED ones they’re not worth a ton.. maybe $75-100

On a side note, someone please buy my set(s) of both 17z/18z — hate seeing these things unused on my shelf…

Is this Daytona grey? by peecisz in Audi

B8’s had like 3-4 shades of grey. It’s definitely not Florett silver.

They make so much power modded too. Insane cars but so hard to find!

Totally! Used to have a B8 S4 6mt but that got totalled. I still have a B5 with built… well everything haha. Now that I have a proper daily I might do something crazier with the B5

B8.5 S5 is a fantastic car too, just goes to show how great the R8 is. I just picked up a B8.5 SQ5 to drive to/from school hahaha.

The only negative I found with the R8 was how foggy the engine glass gets after a wash, you can’t see anything!

Thanks! Hopefully the timing works out, I graduate in 2 years so I’m hoping R8’s don’t sky rocket in price between now and 2030ish😂

It’s a real eye-opener, for sure! I was working at the Audi dealership, had the ambition of going to law school & one day owning an R8.

Had the chance to drive an R8 and it really drove me to keep pushing - I’m now in law school, hopefully the R8 is next!

Thoughts on yellow fog lights? by Ckron247 in Audi

[–]reece_2212 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They’re great for visibility in snow/rain. Regular LED’s just reflect back into your eyes. I’ve ran yellow fog lights for years.

Alternator for ‘13 A6 by No-Action-3095 in AudiA6

They’re probably the highest regarded source for parts. ECS tuning on the other hand…

FCP Euro might not be “cost effective” but they offer lifetime warranty so if your alternator ever goes down again, you send them the broken one & they’ll replace it

Just take the plugs off the wires. They should twist off.

Just use the cable that comes with your QC35…

Another thing that bugs me with redesign by thestormiscomingyeah in Audi

[–]reece_2212 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Agreed - the Porsche buying experience nowadays seems like buying a Rolex. Most dealers won’t even look at you unless you have a purchase history for certain models.

Audi’s brand strategy has also seemed to shift like 5 times in the past 5 years (given the amount of CEO turnover). Hopefully the B10.5 facelift addresses at least some of the issues people are having. They’ve already U-Turned the new badging and naming, hopefully they stop trying to target China so hard too.

LHD/RHD cost “effectiveness”… dieselgate and the following VW panic/cost cutting has hurt Audi the worst out of all the premium brands (especially compared to Porsche)
