There has been NO news about any emissions problems related to the Audi 3.0L gas engines. Some may be dreaming about free money.

The B&O isn't an option for the 3.0...?

Sorry, but you are incorrect. There were stories that broke last month about emissions defeat devices in the 3.0 liter gasoline engines across multiple Audi vehicles.

Here are samples of the news stories: VW, Audi Confirm Investigation Into Carbon Dioxide Levels in Some Audi Cars - WSJ
And here is the legal filing: http://www.tlylaw.com/files/2016/11/...-Complaint.pdf

I had read a brief comment about that one but rejected it based on informed opinions I read at the same time.

My gut feeling is that one is a phony accusation.

Wow, that sux. It was when I ordered my 2013. In fact I can honestly say that one of the main reasons why I bought the A8 was the B&O. I would have bought an S550 if I couldnt get a B&O IN the A8

B&O is rare in the 3.0t cars but there a few out there.

Ah... it says that it was an available option on the 2013 3.0T - but since 2014 it was no longer allowed as an option on the 3.0T.

Now I get it...

The 3.0T gas model cheat and lawsuit are real and it's happening:

Lawsuits are filed all the time. That's why ambulance chasing lawyers advertise on television. But lawsuits don't prove there is a genuine offense.

IF, that's a huge IF, AUDI didn't report emissions accurately how did that harm an AUDI owner?

I don't think it's about harming the Audi owner per se. The diesel lawsuit for instance, no one was actually "harmed", the cars still ran. The issue as I understand it is that Audi cheated the emissions tests, period. The cars didn't do what they were supposed to and people, some, bought the cars for that reason and were duped as was the government etc. Same issue with the gas engines, there is allegedly a cheat installed which can/could reduce emissions data and from what i understand, affect the actual gas mileage on the gas engine vehicles. This is just from what I read, I have no actual data or knowledge myself. If Audi wants to settle this and give me some money out of the deal, fine with me! If they want to buy my car back, as they did with my brother's VW Golf Diesel, great, I'll just go buy another A8.
