1998 Audi A8 Quattro review from Spain
"Fast machine, but too unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far, only the auto box!!! But this is an Audi, there is probably loads more thing to come. Ha Ha.
On a serious note though, the auto box has started slipping, but only when the car gets hot. I'm thinking maybe the auto tranny fluid may need changing, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Also the tiptronic isn't working all the time.
My advice, don't buy an Audi.
General comments?
The car is very quick and handles lovely.
The interior is plush and very comfortable.
It looks wicked with the 20 inch alloys I fitted.
