Thanks, Goran. I'm quite happy with it, not only has it had the belts done, and a new gearbox fitted but all the toys work too, it has been really well looked after all it's life, featured on TV and also it was an Audi UK car, so potentially a press/management car.
Adrian, the owner has changed the following.
- New crank sensor
- New cam sensor
^^ £800 in parts alone from Audi, apparently, and that didn't solve it!
Also, a new fuel pump and assembly.
I believe it is wiring to or the ignition switch itself.
We did get it to turn over and run for about 5 minutes, and then it started chocking as if it were being starved of fuel (half a tank in there). My theory is the fuel pump hasn't been fitted right and it isn't picking up the fuel from the tank, I've noticed the fuel pump fuse has blown, would a faulty relay do this, or is it more likely to be wiring/badly fitted pump? I'll replace the ignition switch, fill the tank, and go from there...
It'll be fun anyway, it's only a nightmare when you rely on the car, and of course, I have my DS and RS, plus use of the D4 if I really need an '8 fix, it ain't no D2 though...
