When Does My 2008 Audi A8 Quattro Radiator Need Service?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Audi A8 Quattro radiator serviced, but it's still extremely important. As part of your car’s cooling system, your radiator helps keep engine temperature regulated. When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2008 Audi A8 Quattro is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. Audi recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light. When you experience one or more of these issues, head to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.

  • What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Audi? If the coolant light illuminates on your dashboard, your engine could be overheating. Pull over to a safe area and wait for the engine to cool down. Then, head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a coolant system check.

Then hose down the driveway or garage floor!
  • When should my Audi A8 Quattro radiator be cleaned? To keep your Audi A8 Quattro radiator running well, it’s wise to get it cleaned out a few times a year.
  • What is causing my A8 Quattro to overheat? One of the main reasons your Audi A8 Quattro engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.
  • My A8 Quattro radiator sounds like it's rumbling or boiling! What's up? Your A8 Quattro’s cooling system could contain air pockets or your radiator might be clogged. Another possibility is a faulty radiator cap, which is an easy fix!
  • Should I be concerned about rust in my A8 Quattro radiator? Yes. Rust in your Audi A8 Quattro radiator could reduce cooling efficiency, cause leaks, and even lead to radiator failure.
