I have audi A8, with 30K miles...what can I do to increase the power
Answer:definitely do NOT us a K&L on any modern car. The oil can get into the MAF (mass air flow) sensor and ruin it. Use the audi filter. You will not improve power by changing filters. You can put on one of those cold air things that pipe in cold air from outside the engine compartment, and get maybe 1% increase in power, or maybe no increase. Why do you want to increase power? With modern engines there is not much you can do. Perhaps you can find one of those high performance ROMs for the computer that will get a a small increase, but at the expense of pollution and reliability.
Im 15 and I just want a cool car and for kicks I started looking at old Audis and I can get a 1998 Audi A8 now for like $5 Grand and come late Feburary when I turn 16 I could probably get one for $4 Grand. Would you do the same or should I just go with my original plan and get a newer jeep?
Answer:no, no, no no. NO. get a honda or something, something you won't feel as bad for beating the shit out of. please, for your sake. german cars also have the highest insurance rates. and especially for a person your age, you shouldn't mess with any audi until you're older. even if its a 98, audi's aren't something you should tinker with. you're gonna eat up beating the shit out of your first car, everyone does. either they kill it, or they crash it.
I think that is something with the chasis or I don't know exacly.Thank U!
Answer:the A8 LWB is the long wheel base (about 5 inches longer and gize 7 cubic feet of extra passenger room ) it is longer than the regular A8 its more luxurious and less sporty the regular A8 and S8 use the shorter wheel base which is a little more sporty.
The A8 weighs 1000 pounds more, is bigger and most likely less aerodynamic, has 4 more cylinders and 30 more horsepower. How is this possible??? Is the RS4 engine extremely inefficient or what?
Answer:well the standard a8 has a 4.2 L v 8 which is the same engine the RS4 is just way more supped up for power/torque and using more gas
