[V8] The making of a V8Q.

[Dave Saad]

I’m still here! You were in my junk folder…
I’m also still nutty enough to own Audis - I just recently got a 2014 Q7 TDI which is awesome. I am pulling my R-Pod trailer with it. The diesel is an amazing motor.
I also still have my allroad, and it is doing OK, but I think I am going to overhaul the transmission pretty soon.

Ricky, on your radio, if the radio display is actually black then I believe it is toast. The LCD has delaminated or something like that. All you can do is replace it, which is probably not possible. I found a Blaupunkt radio that worked for me. It had bluetooth and all the other modern goodies and wasn’t too ugly. I had to impedance match the amplifiers (assuming you still have yours?) which wasn’t too hard, and it sounded really good.

Come to think of it, I might still have some 3.6L parts laying around. Like a dipstick, distributors, MAF. I have been cleaning out junk from the garage to no guarantees but if any of that sounds interesting let me know.
