2008 Audi S4 Service and Repair Manual

- 4.2L V8 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 2-door convertible
- 4-door sedan
- 4-door wagon
Trims covered

Known issues on the 2008 S4. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year, and both concern the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module. The first covers inflators that can explode from propellant degradation during deployment, sending metal fragments toward the driver or other occupants. The second, issued separately for vehicles in specific "Zone B" states and regions, covers inflators that can rupture during deployment, again risking serious injury or death from flying metal fragments. Owners have filed 4 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that air bag system are here.
From a passenger air bag inspection to routine service on the 4.2L V8, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2008 S4.
