Selling advice
Hi Guys
I bought a D2 S8 at the start of the year that had been off the road for 7 years with the intention of getting it going again and using it. As with most projects I have ran out of steam. It’s a 2002 model with 160k miles. It has a fully stamped book. I have replaced the fuel pump, battery, springs, refurbished the front callipers and it had had new discs and pads all round. It still needs a good service and timing belt done for peace of mind. It runs and drives but can’t really go anywhere with it due to lack of mot. It also has a few warning lights on for ABS which I’m assuming is a rusty ABS ring and eml which Im unsure on the cause. I am looking for advice on what you guys think the car is worth? I would add pictures but I’m not very good at the whole forum thing. 🤦🏼*♂️ any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Andy.

Hi Andy,
Its sort of hello and goodbye then  Pictures, build sticker and more pictures plus a VCDS scan if you can get that done are the only way you'll get a decent appraisal. Where are you? perhaps a forum member can help with a scan etc?

 A rolling project is usually £1-2K at best. If it can't be properly driven to prove the gearbox works then you're looking at the bottom end of that, unless its a rare spec or colour. However, a working FL2 S8 with MoT and documented new parts can be 4-6K depending on overall condition. As David said, you need a VCDS scan as a priority so you can understand why its not happy and whether any of the issues are quick / simple. Some pictures will help a lot  Several of us can look up the full spec from the reg.

Thanks for getting back to me guys. I am in Edinburgh if any one is able to lend a hand and read the car. I got hold of a friends OBDeleven reader and got the following codes earlier tonight -
Power supply terminal 30 - P1602 - static Bank 1 and 2 secondary air system - P1423/P1411 - intermittent crank pos. sensor - P1347 - intermittent I have attached a link to some picture. I've never been able to post photos on forums. Get all mixed up with brackets and things 😂 https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...usp=share_link

Ok so those codes are fairly simple, at least for the engine anyway.
The T30 one is probably from the battery being disconnected so you can clear and ignore that. The two secondary air codes are perished vacuum hoses - buy a couple of metres of 4mm braided vac hose and replace those one at a time. The crank position sensor is simple enough to replace through the left front wheel well. 077905381G, or Bosch 0261210192, about £50. If that fails completely it'll stop the engine running. You may still need VCDS to see what the ABS is reporting. Not sure whether OBDeleven can do that or not. It looks quite smart from the pictures so I'd be inclined to fix the niggles and get an MoT on it as that will significantly increase its value.

I would love to get it finished but its more down to funds is I'm honest. Don't have the money to invest in it. Like you are saying I don't think it would take much to get in on the road. I also replaced one of the vacuum actuators on the front of the plenum.
