A8 D3 4:2 diesel

[BOBSTER]

hi was wandering how busy the A8 forum is ? i need advice on the future purchase of an A8 4:2 diesel.

i am researching but a few have thrown me off what i thought was the right course and caused doubts in the model i was looking at 1996 4:2 diesel D3.The specs and models and the differance and changes that occured in 1997/1998 models. 

Can someone put my mind at rest on the changes to suspension at this time as i believe it was uprated? and their was a few small changes to fog lights etc?.

On a side note also have many people mapped their diesel A8? were the gains worth the process and funds.

 

i have plenty of questions if someone who has owned one of these vehicles could spend a few minutes putting this newbie at ease

many thanks bob
