Picking up TDV8 on Tuesday, will it deffo be an 08 model.

Hopefully. But it very much depends on whether it was a factory build for you specifically or whether the dealer sourced an already built one.
As Envoy found out there are still a few MY07's sitting in dealers around the country.
Check the chassis number. TDV6 - gone
TDV8 - gone
Audi Q5 3.0 Tdi Sline wef 6/11/10

How can you tell if its a 08 by the chassis Number ???

Mick,

I hope you are as lucky as me, I had to wait very long and delivery should take place in May, but it was last week.. But now it is a MY08 !

A Wheel base: 108 inch
A Body type: 5-door station wagon
2 Engine type:
