I wouldn't be surprised if an R8 seal fitted. I think that's the sort of thing that these engines might have in common.

These links may or may not help a little bit.

Do you still have your car, Ian, I thought you also said the time had come?

I think everyone on this forum would like a guide to this job. Many other people have already posted their experiences of other jobs for the benefit of others. It's a community thing.

I enjoyed watching this drag race video between C8 v C7 v C6, each with a stage 1 tune and about the same power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f04Z2yVglJc There was something wrong with the C7, but the C6 put up a fine fight. I suspect it may have had more torque than the others, which may have he...

You will now be inundated with offers.

Can you post a picture of your bucket seats?

I've been looking for other cars that have replaced the 6HP with the 8HP, and there are several instances, but they've typically used an aftermarket transmission control unit, which is disappointing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5hSrXZ18cA https://turbolamik.eu/ More gratifyingly, a few highly t...

I don't worry about buying pattern brake discs any more. I think manufacturing discs is a problem that's been solved, as long as you buy from a well-established seller that knows they can't get away with selling rubbish. Cheap pads won't do, I generally buy Brembo or Pagid. The problems with brakes ...

Hi Jacob, and welcome to the forum. What is the condition of the brakes? You say they drastically need changing - is that because they're squealing? Is it just the pads that need changing, or is it definitely the discs as well? If you just need to change pads, you don't necessarily need to change th...

I'm impressed that you've got some people who are willing to take this on, though. I don't think this is something that forms part of anyone's job description.

The ZF 8HP90A74 plus adapter isn't EXACTLY a bolt on, but it's close. There are a couple of minor fouls on the bell housing adapter, though they really are minor. The transmission rear mounting is different and might have to be fabricated.

Yes, the Bentley Continental GT and Silver Spur definitely use the ZF 8HP90A74 transmission. Both 4.0 and 6.0 engines use that gearbox, though the torque converters are different It was used on facelift mark one models built between 2012 and 2017. Earlier cars used the 6HP26 like the RS6, and later ...

First thought is that a better title would help.
Second thought is that, yes, running costs are very high.
Third thought is that depreciation costs are very low, so total cost of ownership isn't that high.
Final thought is use another car as your daily driver.

Hi there, I'm on holiday at the moment, so don't have everything to hand, but from memory - yes to everything.
