Default 2001 Audi A8 L Quattro Running in Limp Mode For Sale or Part Out

For Sale!! 2001 Audi A8L Quattro. I no longer have time to try to get this thing going 100%. It starts and runs, revs up smoothly but idles a little rough. (I'm sure it needs a time up). Reverse seems to drive normally, but in drive it seems to be in Limp Mode. Service Lights on the dash are on. Has a light whine when you turn while driving.

It drove fine before it went into Limp Mode. Then it sat for 2 years, thinking I would have time. I replaced the fuel pump with an OEM Siemens VDO pump about a month ago since it needed it to get going again. Has a bunch of small issues like paint scratches and such, but it still looks pretty good.

It has 342,xxx miles on it. Previous owner said he did the timing belt and tensioners at about 330,000.

I know that parts from these cars can be hard to come by, so just buy the whole thing as a parts car, or fix it to get it running 100% if you know what you're doing and have a code reader for it. I would trailer it home if I were you.

Not sure what to ask for it, so for now I'll just be taking Offers. Worst I will say is that I can't go that low right now. More pictures upon request.

Car is located in Waldorf, MN.

Default Additional Information

Most of the electronics work inside as well. Only things I know of that don't are the passenger rear headrest makes noise but doesn't go up. And the Radio has one line on the left that doesn't display. So stuff reads like 3lake instead of Blake.

I also have a friend with a car trailer, so I'd be able to help deliver it. Further away deliveries will cost more.
