I'm thinking of viewing a 2001 Audi A8 with the 2.8litre engine.
I understand that the D2 can suffer gearbox issues and i wonder if this is just on cars with the V8 or if V6 cars are affected also?
Or even if its just 4wd cars that are affected (I understand the car i am interested in, is a fwd car).

The car has covered 140,000KM (its in Australia) which is about 87,000 miles.
