So bloody annoying
   Scott, oil change at yours, stay overnight (I don't drink and and drive as I spill to much and don't like to waste alcohol), then trip over to mine for a software update (few spare beds, tea, coffee and beer in the fridge as well) I will try to spend some time this week on research

How much is all the kit?
Why don't we all invest and just pile round someones house and do it? There's a place in Bristol that will do the software update for £100. Oil down here, software in Bristol and home. lol

Seems you can buy them second hand for decent money
   Might be worth me doing.. aswell as full A8 servicing ect might be worth me learning how to use this and do it on my own cars first ..

You mean I cannot phone up my local Audi dealer and say:
"Hello, I have an Audi A8 D3 can you please service the gearbox and carry out the requirements in Technical Service Bulletin 2013023/1 please" "Of Course sir that will be £150 and we will supply an R8 courtesy car for you"

Daviesbike, That's the unit.
What's the prices are they going for? Sir WIll, nope. Apparently Audi do not and will not service out gearboxes. Since the main dealers are franchises they can do it off their own back with no back up from Audi. I'm going to print that technical service bulletin out and take it to Audi and see what they say. EDIT: Reading it, its Audi of America, I doubt that will have any standing for the UK side of it?
