If you haven't seen Ronin, go watch it.

Love that Audi and Ronin, hate your neck hair, figure it out bro, be an adult.

Can yall talk more about using Diesel Oil to help clean the engine. I cant find much about it online.

V10 all day!

Man, i miss my s8 soooooooo much

The brave gazelle byerly scribble because rest oddly phone from a private blinker. neat, uneven tomato

V12 TDI from a VW Taureg would be perfect.

My brother has one sitting because the transmission started to slip bad. The only way to fix it is a new transmission. I hope this doesn’t happen to your a8. 🙌

Every VAG car ive had has ALWAYS had the multiple mifires code either in the ecu history or it throws the engine light. I basically learned to ignore it.

The S8 is one of my dream cars too. I have always had VAG cars and my kids too. We bought my oldest a GTI last year. That 4.2 can be built up pretty easy.

For the love of all that matters: please do EXACTLY WHAT YOU DESCRIBED for all us no-funds working slobs - V10 manual swap! Live the dream. Let us live vicariously... with plenty of videos...

Holy shit I'm having the same window problems lmao

Scotto man you work your tail off so I say to you If not Why not carcaine for ever

Seafoam is a car killer.

No, that V10 is actually the same one you'd find in a first gen R8 or facelifted Gallardo. The RS6 is the car that had the same V10 as a non-facelift Gallardo, with the addition of two turbos.

Not many people know this, but this car (facelift version of the Audi S8, 1999-2002, D2 chassis code) was actually the worlds fastest production sedan for a short periode of time.

Why not the rs6 twinturbo v10, I know you didnt get the car in america, but the engines Are not that expensive in Europe I've seen Them from around 7k USD and they make 700+hp just with a tune. With supporting mods they can go even higher, and a friend of mine put nitrous on his so it made 1000hp 🤣 check out "sportmile" in poland, they did the tunes on all of the ones he had(yes he had several) 😅

I had an 01 a6 with the 4.2 straight piped and that fucker was so good until it stretched the timing chain and smashed valves. But my wife was in school to be a mechanic so we built it at my college and sold It for 2x's what we originally paid. I still miss that car.

Wasn’t it in the Transporter aswell? You definitely need to lower it and get some BBS dished wire wheels for it 🔥

Somebody tell Scott to cut his kitchens... If you don't know; ask somebody.

I have a love hate relationship with Audi....have a new Audi loooooove....Bought my son a first car A6 on FB marketplace....been dumping money into it and haaaate it .....125k engine way into it with money.....does he appreciate it???? Idk BUT it gets my wife Angry just to hear I'm dumping more 🤑🤑🤑🤑💰💰💰💰💰💰......ok I like Audi again

How do you know this man actually owned the car tho?🤨

I bailed on the surprise civic build video for this... S8 is my FAVORITE FAVORITE FAVORITE Car!!! (HOLY NECK HAIR BRUH)

Best neck hair

AAN swap

Have a 2002 A6 quattro with a 4.2 v8.. blew the transmission in it but want to build it kinda quick.. this doesn’t help..

Turbo VR6, please !!!

Started watching hoonigan as a JDM boy, now I’m a euro boy, I have a b6 a4

With oil pressure, be worried when it drops below 15. 29 at idle at full op temp is fine

About that engine, as much i have heard and seen, those engines can be pushed up to 800hp without a lot of problem. Some have said that this engine is the easiest to modify regarding adding turbos and making great power. But if you are thinking of changing, I would go for the V10.

This sounded a like Ed Bolian story from way back.

Such a good platform to build off of, I’m such a slut for big body yachts 🤤

TURBO VR6!!!!!!!

Other than the Nova I really think Scotto just likes Euro stuff more than USDM.

First thing you do when buying car you like is wash it!!!

bro shave the back of your neck sir

V10 all day, or if ur really about that carcaine life pick up one of those fancy dancy w12’s

Most kids these days haven't even seen Ronin. That is a Classic car chase movie,the S8 and M5 are the real Stars in that movie,but that old 450SEL 6.9 Merc was damn cool too. "What's In the case?" I guess we will never know. You should keep the stock motor,and just add NOS like Larry did in the movie.

You are putting a vr6 in this and that’s that. That’s the content we need, seems I never see ppl build these and it’s so sad.

V10 Scotto

making gods work damn OwO

Cool S8!!! I like it About your oil fault, check out in oil pan oil lever sensor, last week in my shop was the same problem with D2 V8 engine. And VCDS (VAG DIAG) will help you to work with Audi/vw cars. In Ebay cost 30-40 dollars.

YES, VR6!

the music volume is wayyy too loud lmao

im not exactly sure.. but i have gut feeling that dunking chromium wrench on oil after heating and bending does not re harden it in any way. And even if it does add carbon to metal.. it will do an film like layer anyway and by heating the tool , it softens the whole way tru ...

I love that van; the Audi is cool too.

I have the same car, bought for the same reason (Ronin). It's a tank. And it actually IS lightweight (1750kg) for it's size. A VW Passat is 1650kg... Mine is a 2000 year model and NO RUST! Like...anywhere! As for the engine itself, it will accept a lot more power, it's very flexible. No need for the V10. But it will fit if you want it. This car was also available with a 6.0L W12 engine. Also, it's surprisingly economic, especially on the highway. Good choice man, I love this car!

atleast braid the neck hair man

Still got ur skills hahaha mean bro

chrome the entire car

scotto if you need parts there is a whole 2002 Audi A8 near me that runs and drives,4.2 V8 for 1000$

hey if we are gunna match hoodies all the time you need to get that neck lined up

Big body v8 sedans! Yes!!!

Idk if anyones said it but if theirs a keyless entry fob it might be the fault of your window issue, key fob or body control module. Also, harbor freight sells a scan tool that will read abs codes for cheap.

“For a basic set of johnnies, I got this car” -Brian

bro trim ur neck hair.. just looking out not trying to shit on u

vrt yep yep yep

When my windows detect any pressure going up they automatically stop and go down. That might be what's upbwith your windows?

Time to put some KWs on and let it set for 10 years. Nice!

I wonder how tough and expensive a W12 swap would be...

omg go work on your ls tractor engines you not smart enough for euro v8. also im euro and i ihate europ stuff, ls ftw

Should’ve got c5 rs6 if you wanted turbo 4.2

Why do I love Audi’s so much?

Carcaine. Remember you audience age who watches this cars and cocain brilliant roll models you are.

17.01 NOS?

Scotto's Specialty Audi Tools

The tightness and double firewall kinda reminds me of my g35.

Put a 5-cyl in it and twin-turbo it ;)

This dude is a glutton for punishment.

This V8 isnt that good, not going to bother with it. Actually its good we're going to keep this V8. V10... definitely V10. all in like 6 minutes.

That board in the PS footwear looks like that for a reason, it got wet. Don't forget to "pinch the nipples" One on both sides above the front wheels, 2 big ones on both sides of the transmission and 2 for the AC condenser drains on the inside of car. Looking at the engine bay next to the firewall there is a lot of leafs and other debris.

I cannot relate more to Scotto than: @ 7:41 "Random Misfire that's like the code you get all the time" yessir! That damn misfire code smh!

Yup had to make a fan clutch tool once or twice and had to cut and extend a cam lock tool so it would work lol

holy shit....i'm looking at one of these around my way right now. i've always been a fan of them....but Ronin really sold me on it. just have to manual swap...you know...bc EU versions got them.

did you check if VCDS can log oil pressure on this 4.2 before this nonsense?

Why buy a new cluster when you could spend hours of your time adding another gauge and live with a flashing red light on the dashboard. This is a very me thing to do. haha

Powerstroke Van!?!?!?!? So sickkkk

Hey Scotto how about focus on finishing a car..... just saying

Nice come up! It was satisfying to watch tackling all the little problems and end with a nice cruise.

Absolute bad ass car! Have to put NOS in it because: unsuspecting assassin. No smoking in Scotto's car, bad for night vision.

Literally using a she-wee as a funnel.. Brilliant!

After he gets it fully running. It would be dope to get total cost of what it took to get it fully running

I think you should turbocharge the car. Would be interesting to if you could swap s more modern transmission in it too. Would be sweet with a zf 8 speed or a twin clutch transmission

Swap RS6 c5 engine it's almost the same but with twin turbo

Don't V10 that... it won't be that fast. If anything, get the RS6 4.2 engine and build that and manual swap it. It's been done before as well so you don't have to blaze the trail in the dark. Also, I have a D2 S8 parts car if you need something.

V10 man sounds dopee

Can someone at the shop hook my man up with some clippers. Mans is growing a mullet

the reason the windows go down when you try to make them go up is because of the pinch sensor, every german car has them, including all your old VW's. It think that the window is going to chop off your hand and thus makes it go back down again. Lube the window regulator and clean the rails and it should fix it.

V10 all the way

I had one, like 13 years ago, my god time flies. Great car. Unbelievable stamina and speed.

Put 4.2L v8 Frombork a8 with abz engine code that engine holds up power

I love early 2000's big bodies. My friend had a W220 and I've always loved E38's but this is the first time I've really explored the Audi side. Really looking forward to this one!

the d2 a8/s8 has the best booty of all the audi's

Seafoam is amazing stuff especially on Audis. I've used it to fix several check engine lights.

V10 be money

Yeah! Nice. I have a 2000 S4. I want this next :D

Dude, with your connections, why the fuck would you go through the bullshit to swap the 4.2 out? Honestly, all you need is twin turbos, haltech elite 2500, 1000cc injectors, hot and cold manifolds bam, 700 all wheel hp and everything works. Trust me you do not want to swap a v10 into that thing itll take you a very very long time to get happy and reliable. Trust me when i tell you to have a good automotive electrician come in and delete all the stupid sensors and install the haltech. Im a 12 year Audi technician and i can for a fact tell you other than the 2.8 n/a v6, the 5v 4.2 is the most reliable and capable OEM Audi engine in the '98-'04 range. HMU if you want more advice. I am the Audi doctor my friend. Also, i can tell you possibly the oil pressure sending unit was causing a false reading like every other sensor. Coolant temp sensors arent to be trusted either in that generation of Volkswagen product. If the low oil pressure reading was accurate, first thing you do is drop the pan, drop the windage tray, and check the pick ups. Theyre not large. Good luck my friend. Buy a 4.2 R8 and drop the v10 in it. That would be worth it. Then you can make it rear wheel drive too 😎

V10 for sure

To be film correct, it needs nitrous!
