Yeah NOS. They were kept on the shelf for warranty replacements. When the youngest car passed 10 years old they were all sold off to a surplus dealer.
Its actually a C5 S6 AQJ engine hence the oil filter arrangement - its part of the engine mount on that side. The engine itself is identical to the S8's AQH and AVP though - the 20hp difference between the S6 and S8 is all done in software. The oil filter housing, engine mounts and rear water pipe swap over from the original engine.
