PaulW Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 I received a PDF today that is a 27 page body shop parts list from the US. It's for US bound cars, but a lot of it is applicable to all A8/S8's. http://www.audipages.com/partslist.html Enjoy! I don't know, maybe someone will tell me to take it down someday, so you might as well grab a copy....print it out, it's easy to follow. pw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie61 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Thanks for this One question, was the A8 only available in the US from 1997 onwards, all the US data says 97 on, is this car different to my 95 4.2 Quattro or is it the same car.

PaulW Posted December 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Yes, the first year was a 97 in the US. They imported the V8 from late 89 until 94 (and one additional V8 was imported in 95). Then in 96 the A4 came out and then in 97 the A8. The 97 A8's were slightly different than the 98 and 99's....some had the old dash panels that showed when the doors were open via a light versus the multi function display. All 97's had the Delta radio where in Europe they had the Concert, plus they did not have tiptronic (I solved that problem!). In 98 and 99, they were just like the 97 and 98 cars in Europe. No pre facelift S8's in the states. Our facelift model was 2000, and the S8 made it to the states from 2001-2003. The D2 was imported from 97-03, we basically get everything Europe gets one year later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie61 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 It sounds like my 95 is the same as your 97 I have a delta radio and a dash that has a light for the door rather than a display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulW Posted January 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Only a few came to the states with the door icon as a light and not in the dash, the very early 97's.....but all 97's got the 5 speed ZF tranny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie61 Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Does anyone know if the parts CD they list on ebay every now and again has any more A8 information than this, if not I won't be parting with my cash, £5 is 3 pints you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botang Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 The parts CD you refer to is most likely an old copy of ETKA, which is the parts software that Audi use. However it is just that, parts software, nothing else, itll give yu part numbers and general diagrams that help to identify specific parts but is not the same as say a Haynes manual. For this you need what they call a Bentley manual link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
