Problems and faults: Audi D1 V8
- A leak in the connector on the automatic transmission’s final-drive housing may cause the engine to stall when coming to rest.
- The ABS may operate intermittently at speeds below 30 km/h due to weak signals from the wheel speed sensors – the sensors must be replaced.
- The power locks for the doors and fuel door may fail because the vacuum hoses become loose – this requires new clamps and/or longer hoses to be fitted.
