Audi A8 D3 - LPG and 20" Wheels - For Sale
 

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2174867.htm

Here we have my Audi A8 D3 with the 4.2 Litre engine converted to LPG.

The car is very good condition and has been the family car. It gets incredible MPG due to the lightweight aluminium chassis and the LPG conversion. It has many extras and looks superb with the wheels and the sports leather interior.

The specification is as follows:
- Audi A8 D3 Model
- 4.2 Litre 330bhp (Remapped to 355bhp)
- 6 Speed Auto Tranmission
- F1 Style Paddle Gearchange on the Steering Wheel
- Grey Leather Sports Interior
- Heated Seats
- Full MMI System
- Sat Nav System
- Bluetooth
- Solar Sunroof (£1500 extra!)
- Genuine Audi 20" Wheels with excellent tyres (6.5mm all round)
- Parking Sensors
- Rear Tinted Windows
- Full LPG Conversion
- Rear Electric Blind
- Rear Passenger Door Blinds

Plus lots more I can't remember!!

The car is fully loaded and drives superbly well. I have had the following work done in the last 2 months to ensure it runs well.
- Full Gearbox Service (Including filter and proper oil) - £350.00
- Full Service incl plugs - £450.00
- Pads all round - £300.00
- New Suspension Level Sensors - £250.00
- New Headlight ECU - £150.00

The car has 107k on the clock, but it has had all the work required to ensure it runs properly and smoothly. Try the rest first, then come and have a look at a properly cared for A8. It has stacks of paperwork with it, cambelt is all done, and is a bargain!!

I'm selling the A8 and the Honda to upgrade to either a newer A8 or Range Rover/Porsche Cayenne.

Part exchange is possibly an option.... What have you got?

<doh> A week earlier, I'd have probably snapped your arm off +++

Doh you brought one?

Typical!!

Yup, Thursday !!

Oh well, good for you bad for me LOL!!

This is exactly the sort of advert that inspires confidence when buying a car, very well done with lots of good pictures. I'd much rather buy a car from a forum member/enthusiast and pay a premuim then buy a cheap dog and then spend thousands getting it right, good luck with the sale. This looks like an impressive motor +++

Amar,

Try this ebay seller. His ad says he has the heads to an AQH which is the same engine.

Part numbers you can use:

1 to 4 = 077103064AB
5 to 8 = 077103063DJ

Thanks so much Mike, just got your voice mail too! Its 5-8 I need, will ask him in English. Hope he speaks it.

Cheers Amar, obviously open to offers on it. One of the cheapest D3's anyway :)

Withdrawn from sale, it's too good to sell :)

The path of true love.......................:ROFL:

Ha ha!!! I looked at a newer one, but I just get a newer one with the same mileage for another £6k....

I'm gonna facelift it, fit AMI, APS+, brakes and a few other bits. In talks about supercharging it too :D Depends if the gas system can take it though.....

We will see :)

For supercharging you'll be limited to about 400Bhp on a prinz system. I discussed this at lenght with the Prinz UK head office and they're suggestion if you want to go abouve 400Bhp is to have 2 systems fitted. Basically 2 evaporators to meet demand. Howver, LPG is for economy, if you want power switch back to petrol!

With an LPI system where the petrol capability is removed (my route on Projekt AnA) the limit is 480Bhp with the injectors being the restriction.

Are you supercharging? Out of interest what one are you planning on running? Feel free to PM me if required.

I have a Landi Renzo kit on mine and I already have 2 evaporators luckily.

The problem with performance LPG systems is the ration of gaseous LPG to air that enters the cylinder. The more gaseous LPG there is (needed for power) the less oxygen there is as it is displaced by the LPG.

This is not such a big problem with petrol as the volume is not such a big issue.

To get big power out of LPG you either have to use F.I. or an LPI system which inject LPG in it's liquid form just above the inlet valve with the phase change taking place in the cylinder allowing more oxygen in.

The prinz system I have is good for about 400BHP. However I am running well over that on LPG. But then I'm using N2O! :D
