The price will then probably go down a bit, although this often depends on the condition and running performance of the vehicle. In 2 years you will get this for about 6000.- €.

The bigger problem with the vehicle is maintenance, as a starter you have a high insurance class, which is very expensive. The tax also costs a lot at 4.2 l and then the consumption at these petrol prices.

The Audi V8 engine 4.2 is regarded as technically susceptible in specialist circles, so that as a completely inexperienced driver, one only arrives too easily in the maintenance costs case

Which is why these cars, like 7 BMW and Mercedes S-Class, are often offered so suspiciously cheaply, in many cases the owner can no longer afford the maintenance. The exchange of a revolving control chain alone costs a small fortune to the 2500 Euro incl. Water pump.

And that’s not all: drivers of older top-class audio know a set especially well:

“no substitute!”

Audi does not consider it necessary to maintain critical parts such as electronic components for older Audi models produced in smaller quantities.

Engine problems

A common problem that can occur with the Audi A8 4.2 concerns the engine. Some owners have reported unnatural noises, power loss or even engine overheating. Possible causes can be a worn toothed belt, a defective water pump or problems with engine cooling. It is recommended to contact a person skilled in the art immediately with such symptoms in order to avoid serious damage to the engine.

Transmission problems

Another well-known problem field at the Audi A8 4.2 is the transmission. Problems can be caused by jerk-like gear changes, difficulty switching or an unusual noise. Often the cause lies in a defective transmission or problems with the transmission control. A timely visit to the workshop can avoid expensive repairs.

Electronic problems

Electronic problems are also not rare at the Audi A8 4.2. These include problems with onboard electronics, such as failure of navigation, audio system or climate control. Here too, it is important to pay attention to signs such as warning lights on the dashboard and to have the vehicle checked by a person skilled in the art if necessary.

Other problems

In addition to the already mentioned areas, other problems can also occur with the Audi A8 4.2. These include, for example, problems with steering, brakes or suspension. In many cases these problems occur due to normal wear phenomena, but can be minimized by regular maintenance and inspection.

good idea….. as 18 year old starter nen a6 v8. certainly not a reasoning decision but a self-problem. that the ding then probably has 250,000 km and costs a lot of maintenance and workshop…. no matter what, I can do on thick pants… if he’s in the workshop.

and only for the case: -> of the will not fix with the car either.

The car may cost up to 6000€, but the maintenance will blow you as a starter… at least 350€ insurance per month and tax at 4.2 L engine is also relatively high, and then gasoline still depends on your way

The purchase is not the problem with these cars, but the maintenance, maintenance and repair. Especially the latter makes you wear your ears if you just need new brakes…

You’ll get him.

Even today, many electronic spare parts are barely available.

If you break a special control unit, you can take the car to the junk.
