Overall, similar spec as my silver one- Grey leather, memory heated seats. Additionally, full remote alarm with closure function. Generally, runs like a bag of nails. Bent and blunt nails at that. Starts fine. Albeit after a couple of seconds cranking. battery is the wrong capacity too. Running wise- it revs from idle, but does not sound clean. In gear, it doesn't accelerate very well, and feels rough. At 3000rpm, it's fine, but still sluggish acceleration. A clean up and check over of all of the sensors, rotors, plugs, leads is needed. Fuel consumption is very high. 17mpg @ 60. Brakes Hmm. It does stop. Think Titanic... Fairly sure one caliper is rather lazy. Gearbox Paperwork shows an expensive rebuild in it's life, but it doesn't shift as well as the other car. Sport mode doesn't function. (throttle switch/pot?) Used in manual selection releases a bit more of the hidden horsepower (not so much horse power as 3-legged donkey power) The shift selector is the later version that won't release the key unless it's in park. That works. However, it doesn't always indicate 'P', so starting has to be done in Neutral sometimes. I presume adjustment is required. It needs a good cleanup, but otherwise is solid. Ride is fine, currently running on 17inch A8 alloys I've also acquired the camshaft alignment tools, a complete new undertray. So, all in all, the verdict is- I'm utterly insane! 85 WR quattro 90 V8 Silver, 91 V8 Black, 93 V8 Lago 93 100e quattro V6. Titan, i think Post Extras
