UK service interval
Q8 e-tron (and earlier e-tron) use Audi UK EV inspection practice — typically a time-based EV inspection with brake fluid, 12V and thermal checks between visits. Confirm miles/months in the MMI service menu and handbook. Distinguish e-tron (2018–2022) from Q8 e-tron (2022/23–2025) and Q8 50 vs 55 vs SQ8 packs. Brussels production ended February 2025.
Intervals are whichever comes first (miles or months) unless noted. They vary by engine, model year, market and service regime. Confirm in the handbook, service booklet or dealer system for your VIN before you book work.
| Service | Miles | Months | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| EV inspection (Audi UK) | As MMI / handbook | 24 (typical) | Many Audi EVs follow a biennial inspection pattern — believe the car’s service indicator. GEV — not PPE A6 or MEB Q4. |
| Brake fluid | — | Typically ~24 months | Calendar replacement — regen reduces pad use but fluid still ages. |
| 12V battery test | — | Every service / sooner if symptoms | Load-test — separate from HV traction pack SoH. |
| Cabin / pollen filter | — | Often 12 | Annual habit on most EVs. |
| Tyres, pressures & alignment | Regular | Every service | Heavy EV + torque — watch wear. |
| Brake pads / discs / corrosion | — | Every service | Under-use corrosion is an EV theme. |
| Coolant / thermal management | — | Per Audi schedule | HV and cabin loops — specialist EV work. |
| High-voltage system inspection | — | Per Audi schedule / campaigns | Authorised EV technician. Log HV warnings. |
| Software / OTA / MMI version | — | At service or when prompted | Record version and date. |
| Battery health / diagnostic | — | Owner / dealer / third-party as available | Never infer SoH from range display alone. |
| Air suspension (where fitted) | — | As indicated | Compressor and bag work — invoice with mileage. |
| Recall / campaign check | — | At every service | VIN + market specific. |
