For Sale Audi S8 D2 2002 Spares or Repairs
For Sale Audi S8 2002
Good bits: 81,000 miles MOT till Sept 2018 Bodywork in great condition for the year, only the odd blemish here and there Xenon Lights Sat Nav Immaculate interior New brake pads and rear calipers Gearbox perfect Oil change less than 500 miles ago Battery 18 months old Plenty of Service History Bad bits: 1. Car is suffering from an overheating issue. The temp gauage will continue past 90 degrees which I know is not normal as it usually sits bang on 90 degrees. Have only driven a short distance so have never even gone to 100 degrees. Car heater stays warm. 2. Cracked windscreen 3. The roof needs to be resprayed as the lacquer has come off due to a car cover in combination with freezing weather 4. Central locking seems to be temporamental. I can pair the key with the car, but it seems to unpair a few days / weeks later. 5. Parking Sensors do not work. It is the front drivers side that is faulty. Because of the overheating issue I wouldn't recommend driving much of a distance so will need to be towed away. Hence sold as seen / spares repair £1895 ono Car is located in Rutland.

Welcome to the forum. We have another member quite near you (near Belvoir)
At that mileage it surely deserves to be fixed, nothing sounds too horrendous for the right enthusiast. So hopefully it won't be scrapped. Overheating could just be a faulty CTS, or worse thermostat (bit of a PITA to swap). It surely must have some extras not listed above.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Thermostat has been done, genuine Audi part. Hence the ad. I'm not getting any erratic temps hence why not convinced its the CTS? Just a steady rise higher and higher. Also I let the car idle for 15 mins after replacing the thermostat. Bang on 90 degrees. Only when I began to drive it crept over 90. Are they hard to replace? Cheers. |

Quite easy (and cheap); bit fiddly and care is needed to ensure you don't lose the clip down in the engine bay.
I posted a thread ages ago on how I did mine, will link to it if I can find it. It's still fine over 4 years later. Edit, no I didn't, I just added to this one; read it all (post 17 is my initial summary): http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1157 Getting the plug off seems to be the biggest problem.

Has it ever had a timing belt? What can happen is the hydraulic belt tensioner fails and allows the belt to go slack on over-run. When that happens it stops driving the water pump so no coolant flows round the engine and it over heats (had one in like that last year). Worst-case scenario when the belt snatches the pump on acceleration the torque spike loosens the impeller (cast iron on these so lots of intertia) and after a while the impeller simply falls off the shaft. That happened on mine (before I got it!).
If you do want to persever with it, I'd suggest a genuine exchange water pump and INA timing belt kit with the tensioner (essential) would sort it right out, but that's not a cheap job. |

Yes it has has a new cambelt according to the service history. The reason I don't suspect any water pump issues is that the heater works? Doesn't one not get any hot air if the pump isn't working?

There is an auxiliary (electric) coolant pump as well that moves coolant through the heater matrix. Same pump moves coolant for the "AUX" heater function with the ignition off.
The ACP famously has a motor that can get very noisy, the solution to which is to disconnect it! I have done that on both my S8s. Remember the CTS has two sensors in it, one drives the display on the dash, the other gives information to the engine ECU, so what you see on the dash doesn't necessarily mean anything. VCDS I think can read both.

Yes that’s right. I took vcds with me to the garage. Was the seatbelt tensioner, fixed for £25. I had time and money to fix back then. No dents now that I have really noticed?!
