A8 3.0TDI V6 same as A6TDI 3.0 V6 ?

Hi
i am aware of the common issues with the 3.0 TDI on pre-07MY A6 models...

Is it the same for the same engines in the A8?
i.e. Am i best to look for 07MY or older?

thanks
Paul

Yes it is the same engine but a few more kW. eg engine code ASB, BMK.
The 3.0 tdi got better every year - obviously 2005 or earlier are the most fault prone and 2010 are the best.

Thanks
