Audi S8 Reliability - AudiWorld Forums
2015年12月4日 · However, the S8 in question sort of rekindled my love affair with D3's all over again, D3's C6's and B7's/B8's are the best looking cars Audi made, the only thing that is making me want to make the purchase is the low low miles that car has and the amount of care the previous owner has given to the car, the rear seats have never been used.
D4 vs D3...questions for those who have had both... - AudiWorld
2024年9月14日 · D3 6 speed was decent and generally reliable, but D4 8 speed with any motor is widely well regarded and will get both better acceleration and MPG's at margin. D4 is FSI across board which is somewhat more power but can have some fouling issues. On D3 FSI was only later 4.2's and the S8 V10. Only worked on D3 W12 under hood and underneath.
D3 buyer's guide? - AudiWorld Forums
2012年9月16日 · A8 / S8 (D3 Platform) Discussion - D3 buyer's guide? - I've been on the hunt again for a D class car, at this point the 2004-2006 m.y. D3 A8, the W220 S, & VW Phaeton are under consideration (and the LS430 is on the fringes of thought as is the x350 Jag XJ). In a nut shell I'd really like to get the least trouble...
D3 or D4? - AudiWorld Forums
2016年7月13日 · The D3 S8 felt equal to the D4 A8L with the 4.2, and the D4 S8 is much faster than any of them. Performance aside, the D3 in any form is tremendously comfortable and serene going down the freeway. I would rather have a top end D3 than a bottom end D4, though. A $20k D3 will be really nice, where a $25k D4 will likely be at the bottom of the ...

D3 Reliability - AudiWorld Forums
2012年6月23日 · A8 / S8 (D3 Platform) Discussion - D3 Reliability - I've been looking into upgrading to a D3. Found a couple of 07 A8L in my price range. Please chime in on reliability of your D3s because the ones in my price range are out of warranty. Other than my transmission, my D2 has been pretty solid for me.

D3 S8 Brake options - AudiWorld Forums
2018年1月16日 · Fronts are 385's on a D3 S8 or W12. 365's would likely be the RS5/R8 set up, but less stopping power and fade resistance than the 385's for an S8/W12. In practice for most any app involving a D3 its a lot more for show than go/stop--brakes sized for repeated heavy Autobahn use way beyond US needs.
Brake options for the D3. - AudiWorld Forums
2019年2月13日 · D3 is so low volume and hardly ever modded, so you are way at bleeding edge on this and would have to be inventive. I know about it by chance from poking hard at brake mods for several years, including the factory D3 Euro ceramic angle. Ended up with D4 S8 so never got further actually implementing on D3 beyond another nice rocker ball cosmetic ...
