Most common problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction

The system may fail to properly assist in braking, leading to reduced effectiveness in emergency braking situations.

Excessive engine noise

An 8-cylinder engine with high horsepower can develop issues such as knocking, ticking, or whining, often due to wear and tear or lack of maintenance.

Oil consumption

High-performance engines like the one in the Audi A8 may consume more oil, leading to frequent oil top-ups and potential engine damage if not monitored.

Turbocharger problems

If equipped, turbochargers can fail due to issues like oil starvation, bearing failure, or foreign object damage.

Cooling system issues

High-performance engines generate more heat, which can stress the cooling system, leading to overheating or coolant leaks.

Emissions system faults

The vehicle's emissions control systems, designed to meet Tier 3 BIN 125 and LEV3 ULEV125 standards, can malfunction, causing increased emissions or failing emissions tests.

Electrical problems

Modern vehicles like the 2020 Audi A8 have complex electrical systems that can experience issues such as sensor failures, wiring problems, or software glitches.

Transmission issues

High-powered engines can put additional strain on the transmission, potentially leading to problems like slipping gears, delayed shifting, or transmission failure.
