I'd define it as significant line changes imho, I mean my10 had a gotta changes even the door handles are different
get mine back from the paintshop Thursday
Is the model number embedded in the VIN/Chasis No.? Cause I found "8P5" in the sequence of numbers...
this thread is just an internal naming system. your VIN has no bearing
Which makes it pointless and confusing. Thanks for illustrating my point Kinson.
I'm not confused by it, I'm confused by people that think there's a need for it, and clearly some people are confused by it.
Without wishing to sound like a broken record, doesn't the fact that people think there's a need for it, AND actually use it, imply that there's a need for it?
People are confused by many things but that doesn't mean those things shouldn't be there in the first place.
Dan actually uses a dildo as a gearstick, that doesn't mean there's any need for it.
I think the first 8P3s were from the start of the 2009 Model Year in June 2008. The first Pricing and Specification Guide showing the 8P3 was dated June 2008.
This particular thread is rather strange. It's about two seperate items:
1. The naming of the various versions of the 8P
2. Do we like thin ladies.
Strange!!
thank you for this...im pretty new to the VAG scene and audi especially...this probably the best thread to compare the basics in each build - nice one
I agree great thread, :icon_thumright:
is there any chance we could add the rear view of each car as alot of people are asking about rear bumpers, lights and spoilers.
8P1, delivered May 2008.
Well, I know that the first 2 everyone is fighting about is actually called 8P1 and 8PA look it up, its true.
I think the newer is called 8PB.
How can you not know this? Has nobody see wiki or googled it?
As you'll see below, Aytheee suggested the names 8P1, 8P2 and 8P3 and pretty much everyone was in agreement.
I would like to reiterate that this naming system is only in use within this forum on ASN. Anyone on other websites or anyone at Audi will not have a clue what you're on about!
These are not made up numbers, they are legit numbers denoting model changes.This is the most pointless and ridiculous thread I have ever read on any forum (yes, I get that this thread is old). Isn't a forum generally used by enthusiasts, therefore shouldn't we actually know/learn the correct designations. How is making up a series of model numbers like 8P1, 8P2, 8P3 etc any less confusing for those already having trouble with it, any better than actually teaching people the correct terms such as 8P1, 8PA etc. If those people look elsewhere for information or parts information this stupid internal forum naming system is not used they are even more confused than before. The mind honestly boggles that anyone would feel a need for this.

Not much talk of 8PA sportback cars???
Ok so you go into sites like Eibach, ebay H+R Bilstein to name but a few and they all use these codes, ok there not official audi but they are used in general consensus.Legit numbers? Are you sure about that?! Have you even read the whole thread? The 8P1, 8P2, 8P3 system was proposed as an "internal forum" system to supposedly help people who didn't know the difference between 8P models. Go into Audi and ask them about the A3 8P3 and see how far you get!
