2006 Audi A8 4.2 TDI - Project Thread

[Oli18]

Hi,

Just wanted to start a project thread to update on any changes for the new D3. Having had it now for 2 weeks and driven it 800 miles, i can honestly say it's the nicest car I've ever owned.

The spec:
- D3 A8 Sport 4.2 TDI twin turbo
- Azure Blue with pearl-effect finish (Z5K) Audi Exclusive Paint
- Amaretto Brown Valcona Leather sport seats and matching roof lining
- Sports suspension, folding autodim mirrors
- Bang & Olufsen Sound
- Digital TV Tuner
- Extended aluminium pack
- Heated front seats
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring
- Xenon Plus headlights
- Wooden 3 spoke sport steering wheel
- Fridge
- Extended Leather Pack 2
- Wooden gear knob
- One Touch memory (Fingerprint sensor)
- Automatic Boot lid
- Electric Tilt/Slide Glass sunroof
- Soft-close doors
- Graphic Park Distance Control
- 19' RS6 Wheels

At the moment, this is the list of things I'll be working my way through in the coming year:

- Winter mats
- Replace missing passenger seat trim
- Replace missing engine undertray
- DRL retrofit to LED
- Upgrade xenons to 5000k
- Restore minor leather wear on front seats
- Replace headlight washer hose to stop fluid leak
- S8 mirrors
- S8 grille
- Remove ding on boot lid
- Add grocery bag hooks in the boot
- Replace faulty front PDC
- Stone chip windscreen repair
- AMI cable for iPhone5 (when oh when will Audi have this?)
- Facelift LED rears
- 20mm rear spacers
- Summer tyres (currently on winter tyres but happy with that given we're going into that time of year)
- Replace faulty aircon condenser
- Front end respray: previous work wasn't done very well and may as well tackle any stone chips
- Remap
- Straight chrome exhaust tips
- Install dashcam
- A service
- A serious detail

Thanks,

Oli
