The 2019-2020 Audi Q8 55 TFSI mild-hybrid models can experience a 48V belt-driven starter-generator (BSG) fault that causes sudden loss of motive power, engine stalling, or an 'Electrical System: Fault' warning. This can lead to limp-home mode, an inability to restart, and in some cases the engine cutting out while driving. Owners may notice the start/stop system malfunctioning before the full failure occurs. This issue has also been reported in 2020-2021 model years through service campaigns.
On 2019-2024 Discovery L462 models equipped with air suspension, the compressor, valve block, and air springs are a frequent failure point. Look for the vehicle settling overnight, a Suspension Fault message, excessive compressor running, and slow ride height changes. If ignored, a leaking air spring can burn out the compressor repeatedly. A typical compressor replacement costs around $1,700, with an air spring adding roughly $800 to $2,000 per corner.
