    Controversial Alloy colour choice 😂 Don’t worry if you don’t like it these alloys are only temporary until the new ones arrive. Personally I think the colour really works well though 🤷‍♀️😂

    I’ve got the S6 5.2 V10 and a walnut blast did the trick on the valves. Cleans the right up!
    Oil consumption was due to a defective PCV, so got rid of that!
    And cleaning the injectors was a bit tricky! Had to remove them and flush them in both directions. Believe me, there was a a lot of gunk removed when I flushed them backwards.

    That's a hell of a lot of oil to lose over that distance mate. Hopefully the service will help with the general performance . I can't see any black smoke coming out of the exhaust indicating bad piston rings. Are you sure there are is no leaks running down anywhere underneath the car? If its clean perhaps an additive in the oil can help with the high oil usage and checking the forums for people who have had the same issue. Like the wheels mate, colour goes with the car. Ditch those blue lights inside lol. Thanks for the video.

      If you can wrap, and have access to it, I have a car that I care about ( fully paint protected and PPF’d by a professional ) then I have a cheap track car that I wrap the front ends myself and I couldn’t care less as once it gets a few scratches or whatever I’ll just peel of the wrap and Chuck a new bit on so I let stuff drag across it, place keys, sit on it and all
      Wouldn’t let anything touch or rest on the paintwork of the PPF’d car though saying that.

    There is a set procedure to get all the oil out of those, and refill it. Neither of which you did. If you do another oil change on that after the carbon clean, warm the engine right up to 110 degrees on the oil temp gauge. The oil thermostat on those opens at around 100 and completes the circuit to the cooler. So if it is drained under that temp, old oil will be sitting in the cooler.
    When refilling, pour in 7 litres, start the engine up and let it idle for 30 seconds. Switch it off, add another 1.5 litres then run up to temp. Wait for it to pass the 110 to get it flowing through the whole circuit again, and then check and adjust on the dipstick as required.
    That awkward sump plug is possible with a ball ended wobble if you remove the mid shield, or remove the 4 T30’s going along the brace that secure the mid shield to the frame, then bend the plastic down enough to get onto it. You will more than likely round the Allen inside and have to replace it. Because even using that tool, rounds them off and we had to replace the plugs, 4 on the V8’s and 5 on the V10’s.
    All the best changing the pollen filter if you have B&O sound system.

    Fuel consumption - change the ignition coils and sparks ( Iridium ) and do your infamous oil change. Use LiquiMoly - it's the business. Oil consumption - there a leak? MP will help you with that. You know this. Any VAG is pretty easy to diagnose. Your S5 was the same. Use these same principles. Love the alloy wheel colour and the callipers are different. Still don't like the salmon colour wrap. Not fitting for an R8. Needs something more on par with the type of car it is. But it's your car, not mine.

    I had Audi 2010. It started using oil 500ml per tank at 75k then used like 1ltr oil per 300km at 95k. The piston rings are so thin and start to wear at 75k. The ONLY FIX WAS A PISTON RING REPLACEMENT. Not happy. It’s apparently a class action in USA and UK for warranty call. They will sort out for free. Here in Australia 🇦🇺 they deny it’s even a problem. Audi consume so much oil. Cost was $7.5k. 2009-13 have massive oil issues due to pollution and fuel economy. All the best.

    As for the calipers; interesting choice, but surely pops, looks good.
    As for the power: my guess is 370bhp, I'm sorry but you're selling it like it's roughly that much (not much but notable).

      More so on the turbo ones. The 1.8 and 2.0 TFSI in the A4, A5 and Q5 should have been a recall. The fix they tried to implement to reduce the consumption NEVER worked and every single one I ever had needed rings and pistons as they were modified. Then suddenly they changed the pistons and rings again, because some were still suffering with oil consumption. I do not miss doing them at all.

    I think I saw a Trabant that colour when I was in Berlin but it strangely suits the car. The wheels and calipers are fresh. Keep up the good work dude gr8 entertainment 😉

    Hi Matt Well done on fixing the R8, it gets better and better. Why didn't you change the fuel filter?

    Love the callipers, wouldn't like the challenge of keeping them clean though!
    On another note... Go to Mallory Performance on Google maps street view, step indoors, look left... :)

    I was expecting to not like the wheels but they look good. Especially with the white calliper.

    Love the wheels and callipers. Goes well with the wrap
