SACHS Performance Clutch for Audi A8 (D2) 2.5 TDI – Engine Code: AKE
For your Audi A8 (D2) with 2.5 TDI engine (132 kW, engine code: AKE), we offer genuine SACHS Performance clutch components in OE quality. All parts are specifically developed for the AKE engine and ensure direct bolt-on fitment.
As the first luxury sedan with a fully aluminium body, the Audi A8 D2 revolutionised lightweight construction in the executive class from 1994 — the Audi Space Frame (ASF) was co-developed with Alcoa. The 2.5-litre V6 TDI with 150 PS was the first diesel engine in an aluminium luxury sedan — the combination of lightweight construction and frugal turbodiesel offered exceptional range. Thanks to its aluminium construction, the A8 weighed significantly less than comparable steel-bodied competitors despite its size, positively impacting agility and fuel consumption.
