What model D3 do you have? If it's anything but a V10 I wouldn't worry, if it is an S8, I'd start saving....

Hi thanks yes a v10, and I went down the route of gambling on a high mileage example with strong service history, and keeping a slush fund aside.
It had an audi inspection before I bought it, and my local indie did a health check once I had it. Issues so far have been rear tyre blow out - fortunately motorway was quiet, and alternator drive belt (I guess to be expected given age) - again not fun as was on the motorway. Still love the car tho |

Great choice then, glad you're enjoying it. Mine has 120K+ miles on but still drives like new, proof it's been looked after and the two previous owners to me are forum members.
I had an issue mid 2014 which happened after I'd had the car around five months and done a few thousand miles. It's all detailed in the relevant D3 section (Fuel and Exhausts, thread title is Emissions Control Warning or something similar) I'd post a link but I'm on an iPad currently and struggle with it. It has the highs and lows of a couple of months but is useful for reference should you experience similar problems, and could save you heartache and cash Send me a PM if you have any further questions regarding this but generally everyone on here have answers to most major problems on A8's and S8's. It's a friendly place so if a search doesn't get you the answers you're looking for don't hesitate to ask. On another note, if you haven't got your exhaust flaps fastened open already, you need to
