Hi,
I boughta brand new2004 AUDI A8 4.2 Quattro ((a cencelled reservation car)) from the dealer, but still didn't arrive - maybe next week -, It will take time till installing on the ABT Kit + 2007 Shape,

But I want to know what is the difference between this model and the 2007's model in interior, exterior, technologies&under-hood, because I saw no difference between these two models exept the front spoiler which will be upgraded.

and thank you,
Abdulla

 

Dear Abdulla,

There is no difference between them bro .

I have a 2004 A8 and installed S8 (2007) body & wheels in my car .

U know Ali & Sons (AD Audi Dealer) gets the ABT body kits with a very high price .

 

Hi.
Thank you for your reply, but does your car has an iPod Adapter as the new one or I should install it ??
It's late to say that the ABT Kit is expensive, because it's in 'Ali & Son's' workshop, waiting to install the Kit, and I already reserved / bought the car by paying half price. Besides we know the dealer personally, so we had it with less price or maybe cost-price.

and thank you for your reply

 

Not only are they different in looks, the newer models have a push button start which most 04 models don't have. The display on newer models also have a picture of the vehicle when you are parking showing where objects are in proximity to the vehicle by flashing lines in front or rear of the vehicle.(closer and shorter lines means you are closer to the object) There is also an adaptive cruise control system that only the new body style has integrated into the front grille (optional) that will more or less drive itself when activated (it won't let you drive into the car in front of you if your spacing out.) It also makes it about a 4 hour procedure to perform a 4 wheel alignment because you have to set up a special tool during the alignment to keep the adaptive cruise control set correctly, or you would drive into the car in front of you, lol! Besides that to change the oil there is a coolant pipe on the 04 that you have to kinda bend to remove the oil filter which can cause a coolant leak, which the engine would have to be removed on. Other than that its about the same. Sorry if i put a wrench in the works.

 

Hi,
Thank you 'AudiTech79' for your reply, I saw the START Button in the new audi, but if the 2004 model doesn't have, then what is the fingerprint-pad for (in red circle)??

This car is exactly the same as mine, except colours

That would be a late body 04 or an early 05, when the A8 first came off the trucks back in late 03 i did most of the PDI inspections before the dealer soldthem and i never saw push button start switches.
Well thats good for you then if you have it because i love that damn button!

 

Well I do have the A8 2004, and I do have the push Start button !!

 

How much are you getting it for ?

The car & the ABT kit ?

 

Hi,
Thank you all for replying, I don't know how much exactly, because my father bought the car for me,
and I can't ask him, because he'll say " We bought the car, what are you worried about ?!!! ",
besides he said " you'll get the car even though you got your license or not " ( i'm 17 yrs ).

 

You are one lucky kid. Im extremely jealous. Enjoy the frequent trips to the gas station though
