EPB stuck on. Stranded. Happy days.

Going by the illustrations in ETKA, they both look identical, but don't give dimensions. Looking on eBay however, the one for the A8 shows it with a short cable attached, whereas the one for the A6 just has a connector. I see what you mean by the cost difference, £270 for the A8 versus £29 for the A6.

Are you thinking of a straight swap or transplanting A6 motor into your current A8 casing?

Hi mate. I was thinking transplant the internals. Or if I could sort the wiring, avoid that. Maybe I’m mad.

Ah, wasn't sure about that previous wiring comment. Silly me thought that Audi would keep the wiring the same.

Ha.

Wiring seems different, but I’ve taken a punt on a 6 toothed A6 Allroad motor. Maybe I can cobble the two together, orrrr create a nice paperweight!

Will be interesting to see if you can get it to work, and how much work it involves, especially with the price of the D3 variant.

Its probable that I won’t be able to get it to work, but I think it’s worth a shot. My brother in law likes to tinker with electrics so maybe I’ll rope him in.
