Goes into limp mode, no lights - Turbo?
Before writing off the turbo it might be worth checking the boost pipes or the actuators.

Looking to buy a A8 D4 - questions
It's like anything you'll get good ones and bad ones. Service history will be a good indicator of how reliable that particular car has been. As well as what could potentially go wrong in the future.

B7 2.0Tdi Not making boost
When you took off the turbo did you check the boost pipes as they can often split, causing the car to go into limp mode.

High mileage s3 8P
If you're already after a modded one then it sounds like you've got an ideal car. What's the service history like? Ideally this should be full. The engine may not be as durable now it's been modded there will be more strain on the engine but as long as servicing is kept up to date then it shouldn't be a problem.

A8 garage problem

Brakes shudder

Exhaust enhancement
To my knowledge isn't it a speaker that enhances the sound? If so it could be a wiring issue or speaker issue? My advice would be to get a diagnostic check or get an auto electrician look for failed wiring.

Reading soot content in dpf
Vagcom or vcds are good. My advice would be to give the car a good blast once a week for 30mins at least on the motorway.

Colour change Ambient lighting
Definitely worth contacting a retrofitter to see how much they would quote you.

Brake servo restricted
Definitely worth asking the warranty company/dealer. But most of these warranties aren't worth the paper they're written on. From the looks of things the part is easy to install.
