2002 Audi S8 — reported problems

CarFaultIQ holds 65 evidence records for the 2002 Audi S8, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

Owner complaints (84 records, model years 2007–2021) are most frequently classified under: engine, visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors) and powertrain (transmission & drivetrain).
Manufacturer communications (11,716 records, model years 2001–2026) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and engine.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
