Hiya, I am selling my Black 2001 A8 D2 Quattro with 133K miles on it, and I am offering it up on here as spares and repairs hoping someone will buy it to restore rather than break it? It has MOT till 18th of February 2023, she starts and runs and the gearbox is fine but unfortunately it has developed a slight misfire. I need a fuel efficient reliable car for commuting and I don't have the time or room to fix it? I have owned the car for 9 years and over that time spent lots on it, I've had the cambelt replaced several times (once even by the main stealers), the radiator replaced and even a brand new Audi drivers side CAT fitted! Unfortunately she's getting a bit tired now and the last MOT she passed flagged up a few advisories and its time for me to let her go. These are getting rarer everyday and she was registered early enough to be in the cheaper car tax bracket! She is located in East Sussex near Eastbourne and she is priced to sell at 600 pounds.

Hi Gents just bringing this out in to the forum domain, I have found a wonderful little service kit on eBay, its made by a company called Alco in Europe who have been going for fifty years making high quality filters they even make their own filter mediums in house, I have used these filters for 18000 miles [two services] and had no problems whatsoever, every part fits as it should and is very well made, the kit contains Air,Oil and carbonised cabin filter as well as a new sump plug and for forty quid its a good deal which only leaves the oil and fuel filter which if you are DIY is sub a hundred quid for all your parts. Steve.

Pleased to report its all back together and the needle is sitting nicely at 90! Thanks for your contributions chaps

Hello Richard, Many thanks for joining and posting a very informative advert, for what seems to be a ‘nice buy for someone’. Let’s hope it finds a deserving home. Kind regards, Gareth.

I think e5 is selling out faster as people aren't trusting E10. It's all a money making scam as cars running on E10 are getting less mpg.

I know on my A6 the whole front has to come off to access the belts 🤦‍♂️

Had a go today.finding it very difficult to do. theres no room to mark things up or take things off.any advice please ive seen someone take the bumper etc and move the framework forward just enough to get to the belt and pulleys seems a lot of work and doing this job on my own wont be easy.But willing to do whatever it takes to do the job.thanks all
