Problem overview

Some Audi A8 Quattro owners report experiencing persistent coolant leaks after a thermostat replacement, often due to improper installation of the thermostat. Additionally, they find that worn or damaged gaskets and seals in the cooling system can contribute to ongoing leaks. Many owners also recommend conducting a pressure test to accurately identify the source of the leak, as well as inspecting the radiator and hoses for signs of wear or damage. Regular monitoring of the coolant level is crucial, as a significant drop can indicate a serious leak. If these issues persist, it is advisable for owners to seek assistance from a professional mechanic or an Audi dealership for a comprehensive diagnosis and necessary repairs.
