so i just acquired an RS8 on a crazy impulse purchase, its been parked for a bit over three and a half years! i still don't understand how someone would leave such an amazing piece of engineering like this to collect dust in a BARN!!!
now i gotta do a complete check on her, thing is tho i can't seem to find the battery or battery leads!! someone please help me!! i looked all over for the mechanical handbook and can't find a download link for that either. also i cant figure out what are the CNC aluminum plugs on the right side are for, i know one is for fuel but what about the rest?? how do i change fluid on it?? please all and or any help is TRULY appreciated because i wanna get her ready for a charity event

Photo of the plugs?

Your battery(s) is in the left hand side pod, accesible through the access panel on that side.

Aluminium plugs?
Would guess at fuel filler point, fuel tank vent, and air jack supply

How is it going with the radical?


Best manual there's available, though it's from older SR8 model (pre 2008). But it doesn't specify about the battery, but as said above it's on the left hand side in side pod, you can take the metal plate of with some hex screws. At least left hand side for right hand drive, dunno if it's different for left hand drive radicals.. ?
