Looks like a nice car, almost seems a shame to break it, assume its beyond economic repair to keep it running Dave?

cheers

Seems a horrendous shame to break it.

The CATS (all 4 of the little devils!) are 'working below efficiency' resulting in an annoying orange light on my dashboard! The only way to replace the CATS is to remove the engine and that wasnt a job I was prepared to do, nor was I prepared to pay Audi to do it for me!

Breaking it was the only sensible option as I couldnt sell it on with the broken CATS

That's an awesome ride. What sort of price would you be looking at for the whole car, or the W12 engine / harness and ECU as a package?

Feel free to PM me prices, thanks bruh.

Please call our office on 01642 710010 or email us enquiry@prestigemotorservices.co.uk regarding any parts.

This way you will get straight through to our sales team who will be willing to help with any questions.

The car has a few bits sold off it already so unfortunately we couldn't sell it complete.

Many thanks

Thumbs down

Absolute tragedy that you're parting that out...I'd have had that off you and got the cats replaced by my friendly indie and kept the car for a lot more years driving pleasure..

Shame

Had been thinking something similar... or having them coded out of the ECU.
