I did a thing. And, yes, its TDI

Had the emissions mods done in December 2018, and now the AdBlue system is upset, but taking it in under warranty.

Is it the 3-litre or the 4.2?

3 liter. 4.2 still commands a hefty premium

I have the 3.0 TDI in my 2008 A6. It's a great engine, normally lazy and relaxed, revving at <2,000 at 70mph but can absolutely press on when encouraged. I do get tempted when I see second hand A8s come up at decent prices with the 4.2 though.

I think I'm finally at the point where I can say most of the operational issues are sorted with the 4000 Quattro 20v Turbo.
And man....does it move. This car is too much fun for a 37 year old hunk of metal.

Most of the remaining issues are cosmetic and structural (replace rusted metal, weld in some new metal on the floor pan, etc.)
But man does it sprint like a beast.

It's cool as gently caress
