What are the most common issues with Audi A8 transmissions?

I recently purchased an Audi A8 and want to know about any potential transmission problems that I should look out for. Are there any known issues or common failures that I should be aware of?

The most common issue with Audi A8 transmissions is premature failure due to design flaws in the automatic transmission control module. It is recommended to have this module checked and updated by a certified Audi mechanic to avoid potential failures.

Another common issue is with the transmission oil pump, which has been known to fail prematurely and cause major damage to the transmission. It is advised to have the oil pump checked and replaced if necessary during regular maintenance.

Some Audi A8 owners have reported issues with the dual-clutch automatic transmission, particularly with rough shifting or slipping gears. This can be caused by low transmission fluid or worn out transmission components and should be addressed promptly.
