a8 d2 4.2 qs for sale, good price?

[chie]

hi as you might guess from my introduction thread i got this car a few weeks ago and basically the gearbox has gone into limp showing the fault incorrect gear ratio, sadly i dont have the funds to throw at the car to fix it


starts and drives but is in limp so reverse and forward and no tip
it has 6 months tax
mot till june next year
full tank of fuel
full bose system, probably standard on all a8`s?
black electric front seats and non heated or adjustable rear
detatchable towbar
lots of regular stamps in the service book,
normal sunroof
2 keys and a valet key

on a whole a clean car, a few scratches here and there, a cracked front lamp and rear lamp

the leather has no wear on bolsters supprisingly as it has covered 96000 miles, and all adjustments work fine inc headrests

im asking basically half what i paid i have searched a few threads but i cant really find what these go for with a dodgy `box,

im asking £1000 but am open to offers if this is way to high? just trying to claw cash back to fund a replacement

best get me on email as i can reply at work, richie _ d3 at hot mail dot com


car is located in south shields tyne and wear thanks

I'd maybe risk a 150 quid on an oil flush, or maybe just top up before getting rid.

[ainarssems]

Probably not worth oil change but do check level first and top up if necessary.

Does Richie know how to check and top up the oil - there's no dipstick and you need a pump with a flexi arm.

It's prolly covered in the Mechy bits someplace..............

Did you rule out the F125 switch? I'd get a proper diagnostic on this if I were you. Aren't you Glagow based? If so, A4 Audi in Clydebank have the full gear and usually don't charge for a diagnostic. IIRC, my F125 switch was specified on the check.

What is the F switch ? I suspect I have a gearbox problem coming up ...was planning an oil flush .

thanks Steve
