Audi S8 Problems
Fluid Leak From Transmission Output Shaft Seal
A fluid leak may develop from the propeller shaft seal on the rear of the transmission. Our technicians tell us that replacing the seal will commonly correct this concern.
Various Probelms Caused by Clogged Plenum Tray Drain
Clogged drains can allow rainwater to accumulate in the plenum tray (at the base of the windshield). The water may leak into the vehicle's interior, brake booster, or electrical components, which can lead to major problems. Our technicians recommend keeping the tray clear of leaves, pine needles, and other debris.
Check Engine Light and/or Engine Overheating Due to Failed Thermostat
The thermostat may erratically stick open or closed. The can result in illumination of the Check Engine Light and/or engine overheating.
Multi-Link Suspension Components May Wear Prematurely
Premature wear in various multi-link suspension components can cause noises that are difficult to diagnose. Worn suspension parts can also cause uneven tire wear and create steering alignment problems.
Inspect CV Boots and Joints at Each Service
Our technicians recommend having the constant velocity (CV) boots and CV joints inspected at each service. Servicing torn CV boots early can prevent the need to replace the CV half shaft or CV joint.
