How many miles on the car ?
It is quit unusual for the D3 gearbox to go. Not unheard of, but quite rare....
Might be worth considering a 2nd hand box as a cost effective alternative...

Hi Buddy,
I've just noticed the attachment not showing, but yeah I've read many stories of people saying they've had issues, opened the gear box and done an oil change and everything was fine again, but these specialist seem to think a rebuild cost between the quotes I've received so for £2,200 -£3,500 which with mine being the age it is, might not be cost effective. the mileage on the car is 91,000
Regards,
Mark

It's got full tints on all windows, and has the black leather interior. Remapped by Elite Automotive in Cornwall, giving an increase output to 290bhp/450lbs.

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.
