Known issues on the 2016 A8 Quattro. Four recalls touch this model year. Two involve fuel delivery: the left and right fuel rails can leak, and separately the high-pressure fuel pump supply line can turn porous and leak, both raising fire risk near an ignition source. A third covers the seal around the engine compartment coming loose and contacting hot engine components, again with fire risk. The fourth covers the turbocharger oil supply strainer becoming blocked, wearing the bearings and letting the turbine wheel contact its housing or the shaft break, which can stall the engine and increase crash risk. No complaints or technical service bulletins are logged for the year, but the factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From tracing a fuel rail leak to inspecting the engine bay seal or servicing the turbo oil supply, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2016 A8 Quattro.
