http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A6-4B...oAAOSwTuJYuTwW Oops, Allroad has the wrong final drive, 4.375 Although it has a better 2nd gear ratio, the S8 01E (DGV and FRN) 2nd is 1.889 and I can tell you its too long, it struggles under 2500rpm when really it needs to be useable from 2000rpm. Using 1st to crawl in traffic above 2000rpm is horrible, too jerky. Allroad ratios here. Mental 1st gear, 3.75! That would be one fast car from stop. http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...llroad-gearing Last edited by Goran; 21st March 2017 at 10:10 PM. |

Thanks Goran they are close enough to me. In fact I've been there it's amazing! I was delivering on the same road and while I was looking for my drop I stopped Outside, just looked up at the breakers yard and the very first car I saw half burnt out Ferrari F40!!!! That got my Attention and then I looked at the next car and the next they where all Ferrari's about 50 of them. The next racks had Porsches, TVR'S a amazing supercar breakers! They even do aviation.

Looks like that list is all of them. I have an FTL on the shelf from my old A6 2.5TDIq and the 3.75 1st is more like a crawler gear - too low even for a diesel. The FTL and ENV are the most common A6q 'boxes. There are usually a couple on ebay for ~£250-300. Perhaps to make it more suitable for an S8 1st should be replaced with something a bit higher?

Those breakers sound amazing! Well worth poking around all those sport car parts just for the fun of it.
There are quite a few potentials on ebay, lots of A6 C5 Tdi's being broken. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BREAKING-A...wAAOSwstxVFdJD http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/03-AUDI-C5...wAAOSwNRdX4Y0g And 01E but with the 4.375 final drive http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-A6-C5...UAAOSw65FXrxg- I would be curious to see how the 3.75 first feels in a S8, the standard 1st is 3.5 so not far off. I do agree though that the 3.5 stock 1st gear is mental anyway. But fun on some occasions |

DQT seems for me to be one of the best options with 4.11 final and 0,561 6th gear for the highway
