Most common problems:

Oil consumption

High-performance engines like the one in the 2013 Audi S8 are known to consume more oil than average. Regular monitoring and top-ups may be necessary.

Carbon build-up

Direct-injection engines can suffer from carbon deposits on intake valves, which can affect performance and fuel efficiency.

Timing chain issues

Audi V8 engines have been known to experience timing chain tensioner failures, leading to potential engine damage if not addressed.

Fuel injector problems

Direct-injection systems can have issues with fuel injectors, leading to misfires or rough idling.

Cooling system failures

High-performance engines generate more heat, and cooling system components like water pumps and radiators may fail more frequently.

Ignition coil failure

Audi engines are known to have issues with ignition coils, which can cause misfires and poor engine performance.

Turbocharger failures

If equipped with a turbocharger, it may experience issues such as bearing failure or wastegate problems, especially if not properly maintained.

Pcv valve failure

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can fail, leading to oil leaks and increased oil consumption.

Sensor issues

Various engine sensors (like MAF, O2 sensors) may fail, causing engine performance issues and triggering the Check Engine Light (CEL).

Exhaust system problems

The exhaust system, including catalytic converters, may suffer from issues leading to emissions test failures or reduced performance.
