Known issues on the 2020 Q8. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the automatic transmission cooling lines: an insufficient weld on a transmission oil pipe can let automatic transmission fluid leak onto the road surface, increasing the risk of a crash. The second covers the fuel pump: a component inside the pump can break and cause it to fail, which can stall the engine while driving. The third covers the rearview camera: a software error can prevent the rearview image from displaying, reducing the driver's view behind the vehicle and increasing crash risk. Owners have filed 27 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you're tracing a transmission fluid leak, testing the fuel pump circuit, or troubleshooting the backup camera on your 2020 Q8, this manual keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific vehicle.
