Saving this video for when I can buy one in 10 years...

From a career mechanic, independent garage owner, as well as an R8 owner, this is an extremely good video. Very well thought out content, good information & advice for all levels of owners & enthusiasts regardless of their mechanical knowledge/abilities.
Well presented & edited. Big thumbs Up.

That was probably the best comprehensive R8 video I've seen. Good job.

Not even in the market, but it was a pleasure to listen to you !

Engine out to change compressor no longer applies - they release engine mounts and shift engine over. Around 3 hours labour, rather than the 10+ hours to remove engine completely.

I just got me a 2013 V10 Spyder and I found this video to be just excellent!

This is the best buyers guide video I’ve ever watched.

Loved this video, I’m not one to comment on videos but this was very informative and helpful. I just bought a 2013 S-tronic recently and appreciate the tip for running aircon and the gearbox fluid change intervals. Thank you!

I drove the R tronic as my Wedding car. So so great! Amazing. Nothing bad about it

id love to have the manual version but the reality is that most of my driving is in stop start traffic.

Brilliant and honest review, I have a 4.2 R tronic and it is refreshing to hear you talking the true meaning about this gearbox rather than people jumping in it and thinking its a automatic. All I can add is that the R8 is amazing to drive and look at and recommend it to anybody thinking of buying one before they start going up.
Follow the advice from this video and you can't go wrong, there knowledge on the R8 is making me visiting them for a service even though I live 100 miles away.
