after I finally wanted to start the change of Gertie oil (or. I have stumbled upon a questionable fact.
At first I was surprised that despite the bolted-down oil tray with a sieve, only 3 liters of ATF were collected. The tar-like plot was to be expected. But it didn't smell burned. Only after consumed ATF oil with slight abrasion. I don't think that's really worrying for mileage.
Now the oil cooler pipes and oil coolers are carefully blown through by even more than these 3 liters. ==References==
Now to the tragic fact:
After the underrun protection was removed (due to engine oil change) I took a closer look at the V8 from below.
I have discovered a "new" engine block, which I can hardly imagine. The whole block shines to the last angle!!! Just like new...
In order to be certain here, I would have to slip around on my knees at Audi and ask about the repair history. Should a new fuselage engine really have been installed here, then this throws a completely new light on the future of the A8.
IF it's a new block in the first place and it was made at Audi...
The way it looks, it's not just been cleaned. I can't imagine.
The master was also amazed and has the presumption that it is new.
However, questionable is now also where the oil on the exhaust has an origin. There's not a single leak there. On the left cat it is moist and it collects oil on the bell. No leaks were also detected on the gearbox itself.
It remains exciting
