No more 3door Golf Rs...WTF?

<< < (6/6)

pudding:
Yeah it's a really poor design.  It's just a bracket welded to the bulkhead  :surprised:   That whole area should be a solid and very substantial billet section to support the loads of the strut.  Welded aluminium brackets in such a high stress area is a really, really bad idea!  Audi should know better!

My friend had an early manual V8 and it cost him a fortune in maintenance and problems.  He didn't keep it long  :grin:

I'd get a 911 personally.  Much better made and more reliable, particularly if you get a 997 which doesn't have the IMS issue.

csrigo:
I think i also saw the video where you might have got those pics from pudding or somthing similar anyway...some American guy took a chance on an insurance right off R8? Its crazy these were not recalled completely for this year and model....imagine paying all that money for a R8 and its just waiting to break eesh.

Audis solution was to weld in supporting brackets....yuck
