I've got a question... What possibility do I have for my A8, 4.2, Bj 11/99 to carry out a diagnosis on my own? So far I have only driven my Audi 100, that was not necessary, but if I browse here in the contributions makes it seem to me quite meaningful to go there with the whole electzronickrams
I've looked in the bay and seen cables for notebooks and standalone devices. An old notebook with XP I would have... Can you recommend something to me? What connection is on the Audi OBD2? ...and where does he sit? 
So far, I've actually done all the maintenance and repairs on my cars myself, but just mechanically, I don't think I can get around that kind of thing... Besides, I'm just interested.
The request for diagnosis is currently only precautionary, as the A8 has been continuously maintained by Audi and is therefore in good condition despite its 250,000km. The gearbox switches clean and jerk-free and that's how it stays next month he gets a gear oil change at ZF Holzwickede.
Greet Andreas!
