Problems:
Oil consumption
Audi S8 engines, including the 2016 model, are known for higher than average oil consumption, which can lead to frequent top-offs between oil changes.
Timing chain tensioner failure
The timing chain tensioners in some Audi V8 engines can fail prematurely, causing a rattling noise at startup and potentially leading to severe engine damage if not addressed.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines like the one in the Audi S8 often suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, which can lead to rough idling, reduced performance, and poor fuel economy.
Coolant leaks
Audi engines, including the S8, can experience coolant leaks from various components such as the water pump, thermostat housing, or coolant hoses, leading to overheating if not properly maintained.
Turbocharger issues
The twin-turbo configuration in the Audi S8 can lead to turbocharger failure or performance issues over time, often due to oil starvation or contamination.
Pcv valve failure
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can fail, leading to various issues such as increased oil consumption, poor fuel economy, and rough engine performance.
Ignition coil failure
The ignition coils in the Audi S8 can fail, leading to misfires, rough running, and reduced performance, often requiring replacement of the coils and spark plugs.
Fuel injector problems
Direct injection engines can experience issues with fuel injectors getting clogged or failing, leading to misfires, reduced power, and poor fuel economy.
Engine mount failure
The engine mounts in the Audi S8 can wear out over time, causing increased vibration and noise, and potentially leading to further mechanical issues if not replaced.
