Hi,
Wow, thanks for that! So there are different types of fluid for my car, and there are also gearbox software updates also???  But your suggesting get the different fluid to what will be in mine now... and not do the accompanying update Have I got that right or have I misread it?
Do you have a link for the software update and also the exact name of the gearbox fluid required to change it to. What is the difference between the fluids and where can I get it? I'm expecting it to be special as I've already had people telling me it can't just be bought at Halfords or Motor factors. I don't really care about the effort needed to get it, I just want my A8 back up and being used again as at the moment I'm using the daily driver and although it's a top of the range model of the MPV of the year 2015&2016, ut's no A8 and I miss it being in my life

Future Plans:
Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered.
Planned Mods:
Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.
