I am not sure about D2, it's been a while.

If you go in 17-instruments, then adaptation and go through the channels it should come up somewhere. Definitely done it on similar vintage C5 A6, I can check ElsaWin later when I get home

Thanks for this. I will also look up the correct cluster coding for a v6 with quattro as this also may affect it..

UK models all have the 90 litre tank.

Pdf's from Elsa attached, channel 32 for adaptation. And from 2002 channel 33 also can be used for full indicator adjustment.

In the manual it says 80 for the V6 and VCDS is reporting 82... all this makes no sense

In the doc posted by ainarssems (thanks!!) it says that the tank should read 84L with needle slightly above highest scale division which mine is, so it looks like i have to take the fuel sendero out and inspect it

I believe it was an option to get the larger tank in the V6, which was fitted as standard to UK models according to Prestige who have taken many of them apart.

Is there a difference between LHD and RHD tanks due to the filler? Would this explain why Audi didn't bother making the smaller ones for RHD?

And does this apply for all models or just after the facelift? I recall reading in older (PF) UK brochures that only the S8 was 90 litres?

The filler and tank are the same between RHD and LHD.

I don't know if it applies to PF actually, as I was investigating a tank swap for Big Red.

Is there any difference between 2wd and 4wd tanks?
