A few a8 4.2 questions...again!
So, im rather interested in my A8 at the moment. Looking through the paperwork there are a few things that crop up.
On the build sticker the engine code "ODU" has been crossed out by what i assume was an Audi dealer, and it has "ABZ" written next to it with 10195 miles written there aswell. Has this had an engine change?Why change it to a different type engine? Also it states "A8 LIM" Is this long wheel base? Build date is actually September 1995 not 1996 as first thought. Options seem to be pretty mega  Electrically adjustable REAR seats Heated REAR seats Electric rear blind Electric REAR headrests Rear blinds on windows Memory front seats Recaro seats (heated) Seat belts electrically adjustable Electrically adjustable steering wheel Bose Solar sunroof Electric fold in mirrors The car is a 4.2 quattro sport. Are any of those options standard? The is one blank button on the dash but looking at the manual it shows an ASR button to be there for the FWD models? Bugs me i have a blank  (looked for the options list Laird uploaded, saw the thread but couldnt see the lists?)

I don't think there was a 'sport' designation as such on the log book, but the options should list sport suspension if I remember correctly.

IIRC Recaro seats were only fitted to the D2's which had sport suspension, so the S8 and Quattro Sport. The standard Quattro and 2.8 FWD both had armchair style front seats with vertical leather padding.
