2002 S8 Final Edition for sale

[topcyclist]

Hi
I under serious pressure to sell my beloved 2002 final edition S8 ... too many cars on the drive and a tax and insurance month coming up .

Reg is S8 AOC ( Audi Owners Club ) which will be included

Colour is Santorini blue with mushroom leather , a great colour and lighter than the usual dark blue .

I have had the car since 72k and it now has 216k on it ... dealer service history in the main , couple of specialist and oil /filter changes by me at 200k .

Few bangs and paint chips .. but all electrics work as does aircon .

Gearbox needs flush but is fine when warmed up ...

I use the car as my daily driver and regularly go to Heathrow in it so totally reliable .

I changed the wheels and calipers in the last 50K , I was intending to have the old calipers refurbished and enameled red .. but will include these in the sale .

20" Final edition wheels have been enameled but are in good condition ...

Car located in Suffolk but I travel a lot so could arrange something if sale agreed .
Any interest ?

I know it wont go for what it is worth to me but as I said I am under serious pressure

Sorry that you have to sell. I already have one and so am not looking for another - but I do like the Santorini Blue! Best of luck in selling.

Am I alone in thinking that this isn't a Final Edition? Wrong colours and no phone prep for a start. Sorry!

Hi , 20" wheels and Brembo calipers were FE spec as I understood it ? Colour was a special order according to the order sheet . Phone prep ? How do you know it hasn't ?

[Adrian E]

Brembo calipers were standard fit on all later s8s and the 20s could be spec'd as an option

The FE was a fixed spec so if the paint was a special order it definitely isn't one in any case. It's not a colour available on an FE

It's not an issue as many FEs are low spec compared to non-FEs unless they've had a lot of retrofit options

I can't see the pic on my phone but I'm guessing there's no antenna on the near side rear wing? That's the give away for the GSM prep fitted as standard on the FEs

I would list all features of your car or post up some more detailed pics so people can see what's what

Is gearbox original, or been replaced at some point?

Good luck with sale

Thanks guys ... well that's that

It has a reflective coated screen with the ariels built in and a heating element , which is why I thought there was no aerial at the back .

More pics and spec to follow . Just gauging interest ..

thanks ,Steve

Nice spec, I think heated front screen was the only thing I've not had in a D2 bar fridge. How do you activate the front heated screen?

Here's the spec from a friend at Audi:

-[5J5J] Azure Blue Pearl Effect
-[WJ] Papyrus
-[3Y5] Electric Rear Sun Blind/Manual Side Blind
-[5MX] Insert, maple wood, light finish
-[8RY] BOSE Sound System
-[PDB] Twin-pane heat/UV insulating glass/heated w.screen
-[PX5] Xenon Plus headlights (inc.headlight washers)
-[QV1] TV reception

I think it just comes on automatically when you press the windscreen demist button on the heater controls, no separate button.
If it's anything like the one in my Ford Focus it will turn off after a couple of minutes.

Congrats Amar, hope the coolant is a easy fix.
Make sure you charge your battery to full to see the heated windscreen in action. Sergey found out it uses around 1000 Watts, which from a 12V battery is close to 100Amps, so its module will not let it work if the battery is not near fully charged as its voltage will sag too much with such a high load.

Thanks, Goran. Good to know, and Oli - I'll get the paint code tonight, I thought it was in my previous post though, or is that something else?
