Pretty sure the 3.L V6 is a conventional manifold injection system, only the 3.2l introduced later to replace it was FSi.
According to Wikipedia in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_A8#D3: Quote:

2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions and extended leather. Ski hatch retrofit. Aftermarket reversing camera. DVB-T and XCarlink now removed as redundant. 2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation". (Even rarer than a D2 S8!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one! Finally: gone, but not forgotten..... 1998 D2 PF S8. Agate Grey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, Tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors. e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later) 1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer. And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

The 3.0ltr V6 petrol might have been missed off the list by mistake, or by incompetence!

I’m not even sure when E10 will actually be rolled out? I’ve not seen it anywhere yet…..

As if by magic, article on BBC News site this morning:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57585105 Compatibility checker: https://check-vehicle-compatibility-...ervice.gov.uk/ I like how they gloss over the fact that the still available E5 option is going to cost you a fortune compared to 'regular' unleaded.... Very brief mention at the end of the fact it'll reduce your fuel economy too

site:http://forum.a8parts.co.uk "e10" Can I assume that since the Gov site specifically states "First generation direct injection engines", this shouldn't be an issue with the D2s as they're not direct injection?

Had a chat with my dad today about this, having not given a second thought to whether his Lexus would be compatible. Turns out a 2006 IS250 isn't
Luckily he does bugger all mileage these days (it was MOT'd today and did 1,421 miles in the last year, 400 of which was a recent round trip to visit me!) so having to stick to super unleaded won't cost him much. It does make you wonder how fuel stations will engage with customers on this once E10 hits forecourts. I suspect that will depend very much on when refineries make the switch, so will be regional in nature. I suspect the value of his car will take a dip as a result, not that it's worth much anyway.....
