Mike's Aussie D3 A8
Hello All,
I'm very proud of my A8 as it is such a rare and (still) expensive car down here. It is a 4.2 Quattro Sport SWB. In Australia everything was optional. Individually, not packaged. So it took me 6 months of waiting until a car the right spec came up.   It has: Sports Air Suspension, 20" RS6 Wheels, Solar Sunroof AFS2 Power trunk, Double Glazing Audi Tinting Heated mirrors, windscreen, washers, locks etc. Exterior light package Sports steering wheel + shift paddles, Sports seats in Indigo Leather Heated seats, 4 zone climate, TV AMI Bluetooth phone, Interior lights package Fingerprint start SDS - full power blind BOSE I have added: Auto Lights and wipers, Bluetooth upgrade, Bluetooth music streaming New gears for MMI screen, cupholder lid, ashtray A small relay that allows the boot to be opened and closed by both the remote and the door button.    Mike

G'day ya flamin' Gallah.
Very nicely specced pre facelift D3 you have there, what colour is that? Whereabouts are you in Australia? I have family in the Gold Coast, and elsewhere dotted around Oz. All the best. John.

Welcome
Hello, I mirror Ron's comments great looking car and looks like it's been well looked after.
Be sure to have a look at the tech dump thread in d3 common faults for just about any manual you might need.

Thanks for the comments guys,
The colour is Northern Blue Pearl. It is a brilliant colour, and looks $1 million. A8's here are still quite expensive to buy, so most have a max of 50-60,000 miles and are in excellent condition. There are a few little things I have noticed, Aus spec cars very very rarely come with the extended aluminium package, heated seats, and pre facelift cars did not get automatic lights or wipers. Extended leather here is also very rare and never on the dash top. I have never seen a local car with alcantara headlining either. However, all local cars get kessey and xenon lights. I plan to fit: ACC with wide display, Extended alum pack (already have the light switch and park brake switch) Reverse camera. I may also look into the digital tv module. If anyone needs help with the $10 relay to make the boot close by remote, let me know. One of the best mods for bang for buck value. Mike
