After my father has already been A8 drivers for two months, here is a small conclusion, what has been done so far and how it works.
So, Fzg. EZ 05/2001 and the previous owner only drove the car and invested hardly any money in maintenance. The upcoming maintenance probably drove him for sale too.
I have done the following: large inspection, all filters renewed, timing belts with water pump and all rollers renewed, vacuum hose for suction tube switching renewed, a water pipe of the stand heating renewed, electr. Headrest adjustment from driver seat repaired, 250km/h lock lifted, cruiser retrofitted.
Last Monday my parents left for a short break in the direction of northern Germany and I had already arranged an appointment at ZF in Holzwickede in advance, there were also all gear oils changed and the balls in the machine renewed (the usual stop). According to the boss, everything was still i. O. and also otherwise the thickness on the first really big ride convinced all around, everything works as it should.
Well, I also like the car (although I'm mostly just a screwdriver), I guess next year I'll be looking for a Facelift S8 for me.
.This is for all who care.
