Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm still settling into the new digs, I'll get started on the S8 at some point this fall. I had the headliner out to recover it when I moved, I need to get that back in first. I'll probably do all the hoses (at least those that I can still buy) and all the other little crap that will be exposed when doing the cam belts. I don't want to be back in there again. Much like what you did with your last one... Still undecided about the trans fluid change...

I'm just trying to point out one of the things on those cars that you need to be careful of... It's not like a relatively simple system that just has a couple manual latches and electric motors. Something you definitely need to examine on any car you consider.

I used to wince when I operated the top and all of the popping and banging started. If you've never sat in one and operated the top, your first time it will get your attention.
