    Thanks for your reply.Apparantly the a6 3.2 fsi engine has a different code than the a8 3.2 fsi so Prins don't do it ,in fact can't find anyone who can do it yet

    Apparently Wikipedia states:

    In 2005, new internal combustion engines became available. For European and Asian market customers, the entry-level 3.0-litre V6 engine was replaced with a new 3.2-litre unit featuring Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI), which it shared with the Audi B7 A4 and Audi C6 A6

    Audi A8 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Regardless of any engine code difference a convertor that can fit it LPG to a A6 C6 3.2 can also do the A8 3.2

    When I converted my profile pic car over 10yrs ago I went to people that had done XJ's and they said it couldn't be done, although it's exactly the same engine with some small differences.

    Thanks for the reply.I understand and appreciate what you are saying but the problem is I can't find anyone who would fit or entertains the idea of fitting an lpg system on an a8 3.2 fsi petrol 2005 model ,i have phoned a few but no luck.prins and Brc said they can't either . If you know or anyone is aware of an lpg fitter who can do this job or if someone has or knows anyone who can fit an lpg system in this model,please share details .thanks

    This guy seems to have a point, if you post ensure you have your location in your signature as it may help peeps give you local advice

    That said I travelled over 100 miles each way for my conversion.

    See that's better!

    I remember reading that despite Scotland being 60% of the landmass of England it had only 10% of the LPG filling stations (that England enjoys) possibly because it has 10% of the population?. With that you'd expect there to be far more conversion specialist south of the border.
