Default What's gone wrong with the A8 after 2 years and 80.000km

This is a list of what's gone wrong so far.....

* inner front fenders had to be changed $$$$
* Front disc brakes - free
* ESP sensors (4x) $$$
* Boot lid hinges - not fixed yet
* Electronic handbrake (mechanical problem) $$$$$$
* Wiper bushings $$
* right armrest - not fixed yet
* cupholder lid - not fixed yet
* airsuspention valves - fixed once $$$ (need to be bled again)
* New summer tires - Goodyear Eagle F1 255 $$$$$$$
* ABS sensors (4x) $$$
* 2x xenon lightbulbs - free
* apx. 100 system erros during services - free
* rear right caliper - $$
* hydraulic oil warning system (ran it dry without warning) - not fixed yet
* 3x changes of oil to get a suitable long life oil
* complete rinse of the oil system $$
* punctured rear reverse lights (fogging up) - not fixed yet

btw, I'm buying VAG-COM so that I can fix the system errors my self

that's all for now..... I hope my next A8 will have some of the early errors sorted out...cause I will never leave Audi 8)
