FL1 is the first facelift for 1999 and 2000 model years. That had the two-piece foglight grilles, and Bosch ME7.1 engine management. S8 engine code is AQH.
FL2 is 2001 and 2002 model years (and the few 2003 registrations). That had one-piece foglight grilles and Bosch ME7.1.1 engine management. S8 engine code is AVP. The change from ME7.1 to ME7.1.1 is what makes the 2001 and 2002 cars Euro 4.

Excellent info as ever, many thanks.
 Mine is one of those rare 2003 registrations, though built in 2002.

A8LFO Silver AUDI A8 QUATTRO AUTO (mine is reg. March 2000)
ULEZ charge applies for this vehicle According to our records your vehicle is subject to the £12.50 daily ULEZ charge. This could be because the vehicle’s details as registered with us show it doesn’t meet the required ULEZ standards. The £12.50 charge also applies automatically if your vehicle is registered outside the United Kingdom and we don't hold its details. If you believe your vehicle does meet the required standards, register it with us. This checker only checks the emissions status of the vehicle - it does not take into account any exemption or discount that may apply. To find out if you need to pay the charge, go to ‘Pay to drive in London ’. ========================================= And then I saw the following: No LEZ charge due for this vehicle This vehicle either meets the required emission standards, is exempt from the scheme or is subject to a 100% discount. ========================================= I'm now confused and none the wiser. Thanks Sadiq Khan.

Went for the 'Pay to drive in London' option:
A8LFO Silver AUDI A8 QUATTRO AUTO Congestion Charge Tuesday 09 April 2019 Daily charge for this vehicle £11.50 ULEZ charge Tuesday 09 April 2019 Daily charge for this vehicle £12.50 So it would appear that Mr Khan would like to relieve me of £24 each day to drive into London. I think I'll give it a miss.
