    I'm an idiot.... help needed

    So I went ahead and did it yesterday and the car was running fine again immediately. What I did was siphon the tank. I used VCDS and the fuel pump to get it properly empty, I think it’s the only way as I realised it’s a saddle tank. I then disconnected the return and feed under the bonnet and...

    Hi Chris, thanks for the warm welcome. Hope the S8 ownership is going well. That's the dream one to have! I couldn't justify an S8 myself at the moment, but I imagine it's really fun on the roads up here. I imagine I might be a little jealous if I pass you on the roads!

    Hi All, my friend who is a massive VAG fan recommended this forum. I just purchased a 2010 A8 that I'll be picking up next weekend. It's a very well cared for car with only 2 previous owners. I can share more when I get it. I'm collecting from England and bringing up to the North of Scotland...
