Got myself another A8
I love my '02 A8 4.2 Quattro but I think it's time to move on so I've bought an '08 A8L with the 3 litre - wait for it - diesel! I've always had petrol engines for my main driver.....
I've been looking for ages in Autotrader and thinking I'd have to make a trip to Englandshire to find one but last week one popped up only 3 miles away! It's the one listed in Autotrader at Culter Cars - plenty pics on there. They are not an Audi Dealer so how do I find out the exact spec? It's got plenty on it but I'd like the print out from Audi - the one that shows what it was made with. Anyone know the script? If I get the service out of it I've had from the D2 I'll be well pleased!  Stew,

Congrats on the 08 D3 but agricultural fuel.......really! At least if you run short you can tap an oil fired central heating tank or wave down a passing tractor or merchant ship!
 Sorry, being cheeky!!!!!

I run my old tractor on CH oil with some lube oil added, I'll see if the '8 likes that - once it's out of warranty of course! LOL
