Audi V8 Quattro Problems
Starting problems due to air leaks and fuel injection
Problems with air leaks and the fuel injection may cause starting difficulties.
Abnormal Noise From Suspension
Various bushings—located around the subframe, suspension, and steering—deteriorate with age. A clunking noise when driving over bumps, accelerating, or stopping may be a sign of worn bushings.
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.
Oil leaks may develop in crankcase ventilation hoses
Oil leaks can develop in the crankcase ventilation hoses, in between the cylinder banks.
Burning Smell Due to Valve Cover Gasket Leak
A burning smell may develop due to an oil leak form one or both valve cover gaskets. Resealing the valve cover will generally correct this concern. However, the valve covers should be inspected and replaced if damaged.
