I have reluctantly decided to sell my D3 A8, she is in need of some attention and due to not currently being in work I do not have the ability to give my car the attention she needs.
Purchased by me in December 2013 (4 ½ years ago), I am the 4th owner on the V5C but technically the third as the previous registered person discovered the issues I knew the car had when I purchased it and returned it to the dealer for a refund.
She has the following extras,
Solar Sunroof
Bose surround sound
Audi fixed phone in armrest, with sim card slot
4 zone climate control
Retrofitted Hybrid TV Tuner (upgraded from Analogue TV)
Electric boot open/close
Adaptive ACC cruise control with widescreen DIS
Keyless go/entry with fingerprint reader
Comfort seats with driver/passenger memory
Rear seats with lumbar adjustment
Electric rear blind, pull up rear side window blinds.
Front/rear parking sensors
19" wheels
Now on 164K miles which is increasing as I am driving the car occasionally.
MOT due date is 1st August 2020, * Update *
Interior is in good condition, all the seats have never really had anyone sat on them since I got the car. There is some minor wear on the drivers seat however.
Now on to the bad bits.
Service and cambelt change now due, cambelt is due because of time elapsed. The installed belt and tensioners have covered 30K miles.
There is a whine from the back of the car which is noticeable from 60mph upwards. The car has had this since I bought her, the cause has never been traced.
There is a small hole in the central section of exhaust pipe on one side. (now repaired)
MMI has the usual plastic gear problem, so open and close is a little jerky but working.
Recirculation flap motor under the bonnet is stuck open.
ACC could use a proper calibration as it does not always see small cars.
There are some cracks in the plastic of the bootlid lights, the lights work ok however.
There is evidence of some filler and painting on the passenger side lower sill cover.
There is only one key.
Lastly there is an issue with the MOT history dating back to 2007, the wrong mileage may have been entered on the computer. I cannot confirm or deny that, but if you plot the mileage history as a graph and draw a line through it its more or less straight except that small drop. Of course back then not a problem, as there was no MOT history website then, its an issue which as only recently become apparent. Hopefully given that it was 11 years ago its not a problem now.
Most issues are minor and do not affect the way the car drives, which is still perfect.
There is a thread here with some pictures and details of what has been done during my ownership.
