Is this suv still available?

Siena:
And sir, what is the meaning of your query?

LOL Siena! Chap is gobsmacked

Hi Siena,
All the ingriedents for successfully pulling this off are in place except the most vital piece which is the manpower and expertise to put it all together
The MECHANIC!
I have had various discussions with users and it all boiled down to one person located in the Ikeja area. I met him a couple of times but have still not being able to synchronise our times effectively in order to visit the vehicle location to set the ball rolling.
I am unavailable weekdays and he is tied up weekends

Maybe this is a good time to holla out for capable Audi/VW mechanics out there anyone? (Lagos based)

Cheers

Ovilaj:
Bought vehicle today. Thanks alot Charles (my name-sake) for a splendid sale.

Congrats Ovilaj
I'm sure you made a good deal

Cheers

Hi Duke

Did anything positive come out of this?

maballack:
@shagati
Would be better if you dint comment, blaming it Probably on Free Internet Connection, slow poke

LOL!
Very NOT free!

You're correct, he apparently wanted live reviews.
My bad.

NGN1.2m sir

Really nice car
Wonder why there are no takers

Goodevening All

I am due to get the car started tomorrow but there seems to be a movement restriction in Lagos from 7am - 4pm due to Local Govt. elections so I may not be able to get to where the car is located until late evening
Lets see how that goes
Will update as I get along

Cheers

Yes Siena,
Two days to go. I picked up a battery this morning

Hi Tedanne (thanks for looking in ),
Patience please, the car is not even in my possesion yet!
I am looking at getting it to start this weekend and thereafter towing/hauling it to the repair site
If the car starts, that's a whole lot of headache out of the way and will determine the sequence events will follow. . .
Timing belt, filters, new oil, plugs etc

No worries, I will keep the house properly updated in all regards

Cheers

And more

Yet more,

Hmm

Siena:
I think the S8 Avus alloys will look good on the Allroad.

You're preaching to the Pope dude.
I am 100% sold on the wheels.

The S8 Wheels are mean.
I'm SOLD! ! !

Are you ref to these?

Cost + shipping to Lagos?
I hope we haven't forgotten shipping cost + lead times with the other parts as well?

Hi Siena
Any thoughts for wheels?
Stock are 17" and I'm sure 18" would make for a nice replacement but I get twitchy when profiles (aspect ratio) get below 50 because of the kind of roads we have in these parts

What are your thoughts on this?
Please recommend some wheels (pictures/price et al) for wheel and tyre

Thanks

Great stuff!

We shall def be talking more offline

Cheers

Siena:
A brand new KKK-03 turbocharger is £380. This includes surcharge, as I won't be getting your old unit back. If you're buying a pair (advisable as replacement involves engine removal) I can offer a discount.

Nothing stops me from sending the old units to you. How much of a discount are we looking at for the pair if I do send the old ones to you??

Siena:
The KKK-04 is a lot more expensive, but not worth buying to fit to a KKK-03-engine 2,7T in Nigeria. The ECU will need a remap, as the different trims in the KKK-04 units means the engine won't run right with a KKK-03 map.

No mucking about then. . . 03 it is 

Siena:
Complete Audi A6 Avant Quattro suspension (springs and dampers) works out £520 brand new, or £275 used.

Please advise the merits and otherwise of new vs. used here. Cost of the used is looking very delicious from where I'm sitting

Hi Siena

What can you say about the Arnott's Gen II air-sprints + Bilstein shocks?
Or the standard replcement kit is the way to go? (Non-adjusting Springs?)

Thank you sir!

Will expect you

Cheers

Hmmm that will be nice
Will check some prices online now

Can you please help with a quote from your end for the Avant suspension system as well as the dual KKK-04?

You may pm me details
Many thanks

No worries

Later then for the VIN and pics

How quickly do you want to sell. . . . . really?
Start with the VIN and a price
More pictures would be nice too (Interior, engine etc)
(I have adjusted the pictures for you below)

Siena:
Looking good bud. The fact it looks so dirty, and has obviously been neglected means your restoration is starting from a blank canvas. A good base car too!
Don't forget the turbos are different, left and right. You'll need a KKK-03. The air suspension, can be replaced with conventional spring and damper set-up from an A6 Avant Quattro.
Keep us posted, if you need any advice or tips, just holler.

Now that's what I'm talking about! Thanks for a quick response
I remember you mentioned the KKK-04 as being more applicable from a durability point of view? Does this still stand?

Siena:
I know you say she's got a dead turbo, but does she still run? A blown turbo could be defective in different ways:
01) Blown oil seal (smoking, more under load).
02) Damaged bearing (rattling / whistling).
03) Cracked housing (hotside, in wastegate area).
04) Broken shaft.
05) Damaged turbine vanes.
06) Shaft seized (due to oil starvation).
07) Wastegate broken (flap detached).

Now there is no way to actually confirm any of the above unless we get the car started. I wont be able to comment on this till then.
I will be seeing the car again this weekend and will try to get the engine to turn over.
Chap says battery and petrol and the car will start.

Remains to be seen

Still more pictures
