Back in 8 again
Well me being 8less did not last long, I did not need another car and I was not that keen on D3 but when 4.2TDI came up for sale at £2.5k only 46 miles from me it was too hard to resist.
So I am the new owner of the car offered for sale here: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=15334

The D3 lacks some of the connection of the D2 in terms of feel.. But the 4.2TDI is a monster engine, especially with a stage 1 map.

Welcome back, and your technical insights will be a great addition to the D3 knowledge base. No pressure 🔨

Glad you are staying.
I bought myself a 4.2TDI but couldn't let the 3.0TDI go so my son gained the 4.2. Then I went completely over to the D4 darkside, well GOLD to be accurate!
