Yours should definitely by facelift on a 2008. The pre-facelift did have some bulbs you could swap but the facelift are all LEDs. Was the garage a VAT registered garage? If so, then they should replace the lights. There must be something in the coding that can be done?

This is what happens when you mess around with the green menu! As per post #4, you need the original disc if you have the old version installed. If you have updated in the past, you can use the 5570 discs

Where did you buy them from?

VCDS is a worth while investment, will pay for itself easily. Gendan or Ilexa are reputable resellers

One of the last D3s, will have 3G MMI which is rare on a D3. First try clearing the faults, if the car has had a weak or flat battery at any point they flag up a lot of 'ghost' faults. If they come back, then investigate

Beautiful!

Quick note on the number plate lights, the broken screws are a common issue. I had broken screws too bodged in the past which bubbled the paint. Ended up replacing the trim and the lights but I'm afraid the problem will happen again in the future. I would stick to stainless if you can rather...

Are you looking for which paint to use (DIY job) or you want a recommendation of where to get it painted? If the latter, then a location will help

I haven't looked at the options on the D5 yet. I did drive one for a few weeks, was very nice. I'm not sure what the S8 has as standard but I would want a high spec, bit like my D3

I'm hoping the S8 drops like crazy in a few years!:grin:

10 years left before the ban and it's only for new car sales. I doubt it will depreciate any more than if the ban was not coming into effect

Hi, seems like you have a few issues with it. The best thing you can do is to invest in VCDS. Posting scan logs will help with a diagnosis

The MMI motorised cogs do break. There are kits available with metal cog replacements and should be videos on YT on how to do it. Is the reset you tried the 3 button hold and release method? When you say it turns off, does it go blank or freeze?

You're welcome. Yes I still have my S8 and still love it as much as the day I bought it! Took me a long time to find one with a high spec and decent mileage. Hopefully will be a keeper.

Mine was around £120 so still cheaper than US prices! Glad yours is behaving itself, who would think a bit of (expensive) hose would make so much difference? lol

You're welcome

The car itself is probably too new to know about long term reliability issues although first reviews are pretty good. The only issues I have ready about are battery issues some owners have had - one owner is on his 6th battery! I think depreciation has to be taken in a different category. But...

I had the same problem. I got a couple of lean codes and could hear a small hiss sometimes. Checked the hose and realised it had been taped up! Got a new one fitted and it has been fine ever since. Good luck

I would use plugs from Audi/TPS or the OEM equivalent. The codes refer to a lean mixture. Have you checked the the vent hose that runs across the top-rear of the engine? Incidentally, what gains did you get from the remap? Was it after manifold flap removal?
