Viewing an S8 Tonight - Help!!

[Turbo Tony]

Hi all,

I'm going to take a look at a D3 S8 later today. I've been out of the loop too long and I can't remember anything I'll need to check!

The car's got a higher mileage than I'd like - 93k but it looks in good condition with quality tyres (always a telltale sign for me).

What should I look for? Weak points?

I'm taking my VCDS device with me. I'll do a fault code reading, but is there anything I should look for in the measuring blocks?

Any telltale signs of abuse/impending failure?

I know there are a dozen or more threads about this, but I'm leaving straight after work, so I have no time to search.


I'd appreciate any help you could give me.
