Running great ever since.
Someone at work got a 2017 A8 Camaro and had the triple flush and still has shudder. So far i see nothing wrong with this A8. I am sure a tune would help more. With the Z51 you get a better gear and this car pops up to 80 in a flash. I only drive in heavy stop and go in 45 to 30mph zones 90% of the time. Only thing i can cry about is a dim backup cam and the NPP is not loud enough most of the time unless you get on it.


So maybe a tune and louder catback . Maybe even headers.


I wonder if anyone really knows what the real prob was with the A8? Was it the AFM? I put a Range on my 2019 C7 at around 150 miles and got shudder at 400 miles. Car was built in Feb 2019 after the so called fluid change but maybe the trans was built before.
