CarComplaints.com Notes: The 3rd generation A8 got off to a slow start. Really slow, like "limp home" slow thanks to leaking antifreeze frying the engine's control modules. Thankfully the problem was recalled in September 2016.

This made my engine sound like a diesel engine when running idle and had a ticking noise when I accelerated. This is not the kind of noise I expected to here from a luxury flagship sedan.
