Siena: Pictures, as promised!

On the way back from Coventry. I was glad I wasn't going the other way, that long line of traffic was moving at a snail's pace:






The all important buisness end - the V8 heart:

It was cylinder #4 too - just my luck to have the least accessible one to replace! #4 coilpack is on the left cylinder bank, closest to the firewall, under the intake trunking and MAF. Grrr! angry

Awesome! You sure do have eyes for good cars. Impeccable taste you got there. Congratulations on your latest purchase. She is a beauty to behold and a beast on the road with the V8 and 4.2 engine size. I'm sure it will be gulping down fuel. Very neat interior and sophisticated interior, I must say. We all need to celebrate this. I will be waiting for the e- champagne.

@Siena, this gorgeous ride must only be available with autotranny?

If that holds; can you say some people are working to face out manual tranny?

Are you planning to put the stick or you don't want to bother?

Congrats.

So Siena even drives an automatic. Where are all those that says only dummies drive auto.. Ikenna et al. They even said dumb americans drive auto and even have a cup holder in their cars. LMAO. Very beautiful ride siena.. I want this someday. But siena.. this car doesn't have a cup holder or is there something I'm not seeing? So where do u keep ur coffee when u need to multitask?
Re: Sachi Motorsport Audi A8 D3 4.2 Quattro Sport, Family Cruiser, V8 Content! by ziccoit: 7:03am On Sep 29, 2013
When would Nigeria be blessed with brilliant AutoMechanics who could be easily accessed everywhere in the country and would be able to handle these kinds of ride? I don't get money to purchase these kind of ride now even if I had I wouldn't want to for fear of being destroyed by my cars-don't--need-thermostat AutoDestroyers. grin

Note- You need to view this thread on PC or Pad to appreciate the car. I used phone earlier but now using pad I'm wao.

To appreciate the cruise, you needed to be seated @ the owners corner. Maybe we meet some day on the M25, for a drag race !!!!!

I never drink in any of my cars, my kids aren't allowed to drink or eat whilst sitting in my cars either. One of the most common cause of automatic electrical issues, that are external to the transmission and TCU are spilled drinks, knock a can of coke or similar onto the shifter, and problems start.

But in answer to your question bro, there are cup holders present. Two at the front, and two at the rear in the centre armrest. smiley

No M25 drag racing for me. Public road??

A testing facilty, or even a track day would be better. Let's see how 2WD versus AWD stack against each other in the chicanes and other twisty bits.

Straight line driving is easy, even for the inexperienced driver on UK roads. The real test comes when driving on the circuit, where there are tight left and right-handers. smiley

Thanks bro.

The first generation (D11 & D2) were available in Germany with a 6-speed manual option. With the D3, 6-speed Tiptronic only. I won't be converting this to manual, as the software won't support it. Sure it'll drive, but the ECU will be forever trying to communicate with the absent TCU, and with no communication, it'll go into EPC mode, limiting torque.

Cruise control and ABS will also be inoperative. For my manual fix, I've got my Audi A4 Quattro B5, with the S8 4.2 V8 2xDOCH 32V, running through a 6-speed manual.

I once drove a friend's 406 and into McDonald's drive thru.. got my order and as i was driving out, took a sip of the Pepsi and then tried to keep it.... and voila.. no cup holder. Ended up spilling the whole damn drink allover the car because there was no where to keep it. Cup holders are necessary.. u never know when u might need them.

I understand where you're coming from...my car has cup holders, but they are redundant, because no drinks are allowed in my cars...must be at least 7 years since I enforced that rule, and so far, it's never been broken.

Just took another look at the pics...chei...this is how all cars should look like.... Some people can comfortably afford this luxury in Nigeria but they choose to drive a bland Camry. I'm gonna own one of these while I'm still young.... Not when I'm old.

You're an adult, so I'm sure you'll have your fill of drink before setting out. And there will be service areas where we could stop and drink / eat. If my kids all under the age of -years-old can cope, you as an adult will be just fine. smiley

uboma: I'm sure it will be gulping down fuel.

The Audi A8 4.2 V8 Quattro Sport is not as thirsty as the engine size may suggest.

The tank was on empty when I picked her up, I filled the 90-litre tank to the brim, cost £116. I drove from Coventry to Hayes (approx. 117 miles) and only used a quarter tank of gas. Average speed of 83 mph (134 km/h) and average gas mileage of 34.6 mpg isn't bad for a car the size of a bus. The base Audi A8 4.2 Quattro DOES weigh 1855 kilos (that's before extra options). So it's safe to say my car weighs over 1900 kilos.
