Just back from trip to S.France, will be getting my A8 up on the ramps this weekend coming to see if we can salvage the gearbox - if it's curtains, then I may be interested, so please keep us updated if the S8 sells.

Thanks

comes with servotronic power steering: this reduces the amount of power steering as the speed increases. make parking very easy and gives better feel when driving.

all bulbs have been changed to LED: all interior lights, rear number plate lights. front fog lights are HID

All tires are filled with nitrogen

since i have owned it (two and a half years) she only ever run on shell v-power of bp ultimate( keeps all internals nice and clean)

also due to the stage 2 remap this is possibly the most economical D2 S8 out there and can easily get 30 mpg on a run.

may i quote you on the 30mpg !! i also would like a remap in my 40valve 4.2 A8 im wandering if i de-cat mine and get it remapped will i too be seeing over 30mpg given that i have the longer gear ratio's ?

I always thought that the a8 was more economical than the S8 so with a remap and a good service you should see better figures

30 mpg should be easy in a 4.2 A8. In an S8, even with the remap I cannot believe it. Reffro doesn't get 30, Darrens is a special car!
