  • Will our cheap Audi S8 start with just a new battery?? Today we investigate this mysterious "mechanical damage" and find some answers! This rare 2001 V8 Audi S8 was buy far the cheapest in the USA when we bought it at salvage auction as a non running vehicle for the price of parts. It was cheaper than our 2001 Mercedes S600 V12 which we paid $850 for. Will this simple $130 battery replacement solve our problems??

    This is amazing, I just bought a 2002 S8 project myself (for twice as much, still a great deal, the lower bumper grilles are worth a few hundred bucks alone) and now there's this on the channel! The pearl white is a rare color in Europe, too and it generally seems to be in good condition. The engines are usually not a problem btw, it's the 5-speed tiptronic that blows up sooner or later, and you won't know what condition that is in until youve read the codes or gone on a longer drive. Obviously that's where the risk it, it would total the car unless you want to invest the 3 grand or so for a rebuilt one, which might be worth it with this one. Also pls no straight pipes...

It’s a wonderful machine to drive when everything is working well. Good luck to you both! 🇦🇺👍

    AC Cooling on the right only means low R134a, it has 2 evaporators and runs out of liquid on the right leaving none for the left. Also the TransGo valve mod will keep the trans from blowing itself up. Great cars, I have a 2001 and 2003.

  • @ojtveito
    @ojtveito 4 года назад

    The AC will function with use. It's because it's been standing for a long time without use. So soon it will blow cold also in the other went. You also need to have filled the radiator. So it will soon be working as it should just turn the vent off until it is in OK.
    Use toothpaste to polish the faded front lights, they will be like new. You may even be able to weld the radiator.
    The car is all aluminum, built on Audi Space Frame. So it will not rust. Such great cars. I have driven them for 20 years. They are extremely solid low maintenance cars. Even the gearbox is amazing. My first car drove 385.000 kilometers (240.000 miles) before I sold it off, still on the road. Fantastic quick and agile cars!!! Probably the best and most solid cars ever built, in my opinion, since it hasn't got all the electronic of the newer cars.
    I really wish to get one again.

    Make it OEM+
    Audi RS5 rotor 20 inch rims (Black and Silver)
    Paint it Miseno Red (modern Audi Paint)
    with Black roof(gloss)
    Black glossy trim, mirrors and grill (you can DIY mesh ABS grill).
    Don't make it too loud!
    Deleting rear mufflers will be enough.
