Default D2 to D3 owner...

sold my 2001 4.2 A8 last week for a 4.2TDi 2006.
the D2 was one of the best cars i have owned, never put a foot wrong in 2 years.
the D3 is in another league. interior is well planed and the engine is really powerful.

i need advice on a couple of things please.
1) the suspension even in comfort mode is harsh and skittish on rough roads.
i just read the thread re. hard reset and driving in sport mode for 10+miles.. will try that

2) are you meant to feel a small amount of diesel vibration at idle( i had a petrol prior)

3) would you do a gearbox oil change,its currently 100k

4) the gear shifts, although smooth, are odd. possibly adapted for previous owner. is there an easy way to reset

many thanks
raj
