Did you manage to book a slot for an Emira drive @Jobbo ?

Re: Your fleet running reports
It will probably be a mechanical seal, we have them on all our water pumps, oil pumps etc and they work great. Dave is (of course) correct. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.audiworld.com-vbulletin/1754x1648/front_axle_reservoir_e8feee0fe54ad516eecb620eb6a83c82835b4861_a9aa4706438feb190597bc24e49abf...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Is the coolant under any sort of maintenance schedule or is it a ‘sealed for life’ system where by life they make it hard for anyone but a main dealer to change and the real life cycle is more like 6 years? There is a resevoir with drain plug in each motor to deal with seepage. Just found this stat...

Re: Your fleet running reports
I can't answer with any authority, but I'd guess fundamentally no different. Although I suspect they would be subject to higher temperatures? No idea about pressures.Sundayjumper wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 9:58 am But are those seals substantially different to those on the shaft of a water pump on an IC engine ?

Re: Dangerous beers...
I like some of the strong(er) Belgian beers like Duvel and La Chouffe, but I don't enjoy drinking many of them. Lagers slip down easier for me (current draught favourites Estrella & Birra Minabrea). I tend not to enjoy crafty / microbrewery type concoctions. Generally too strongly flavoured for ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
integrale_evo Yeah, I've been looking into it in a little more detail, and I'm still scratching the surface as opposed to diving deep, but I understand that in order to maximise (particularly continuous) performance manufacturers are deploying motor cooling circuits that go around the stator (sound...

Re: And then there was none..
Colleague/mate hired a T350 for his 25th. It was very good value, but the mandatory insurance excess of £3.5k (circa 20yrs ago) proved a great deterrent to push it too hard.

Re: And then there was none..
It gets better if you read the small print. One off charge of £3k plus VAT. Also the nicer cars have a little pesky asterisk: "* 1.25 miles charged per mile, minimum 50 miles per day. ** 1.5 miles charged per mile, minimum 50 miles per day. *** 2 miles charged per mile, minimum 50 miles per da...

Update on our E-Tron just added to the fleet running thread (page 1006 for future reference). Didn't want to post the same thing here also.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Took mrs mik’s E-Tron for a “larger car task” at the weekend. 25 miles from home on an A-Road the car suddenly sang out some loud warning chimes whilst flashing up “Electrical System Fault – Safely stop vehicle!” followed immediately by a 4WD system fault message, and then a warning related to the d...

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers
I had a passenger ride in a 3.0TD one of these with a taxi company last year and it was such a great place to be. Wonderful ride, really smooth gearbox and the dash at night was lovely. I don’t know when they were made till though. There is a burgundy one with cream leather I see regularly and it’s...
