This 2001 Audi S8 factory service and repair manual is matched to this exact year, engine and trim, so the specifications and procedures inside are the ones Audi published for your car, built around the 4.2L V8 (engine code AYS), not a generic figure pulled from a related model year.

No recalls are on federal record for the 2001 S8, and no complaints or technical service bulletins are logged for the year either. That doesn't mean the car asks nothing of you: the AYS V8 and its supporting systems still call for the exact torque values, clearances, and diagnostic steps Audi specified, and that's what this manual gives you.
Whether you're servicing the 4.2L V8 or working through a full inspection on this S8, it keeps every spec and procedure matched to your specific 2001 Base Sedan.
