Problems:

Oil leaks

Due to the high-performance nature of the 8-cylinder engine, seals and gaskets can wear out faster, leading to oil leaks.

Carbon build-up

Direct fuel injection systems, like the one in the Audi S8, are prone to carbon build-up on intake valves, affecting performance.

Timing chain tensioner failure

Timing chain issues can arise, leading to potential engine damage if not addressed promptly.

Cooling system problems

High-performance engines generate a lot of heat, which can stress the cooling system and lead to coolant leaks or thermostat failures.

Turbocharger wear

If the engine is turbocharged, the turbochargers can wear out over time, leading to reduced performance and increased oil consumption.

Fuel injector issues

Direct injection engines can experience fuel injector problems, such as clogging or failure, affecting fuel efficiency and performance.
