06 S8 few small problems to sort

[Ricky]

Hi everyone.

After living with the car for a couple of weeks now you notice things that need doing! 

Now I knew there was something up with the front soft close on both sides. My question is are they on a fuse/relay or when they stop is it a dead motor generally? There is no noise at all when the door just clicks in. If it is a dead motor is it a separate unit to the actual door lock itself? 

Also the exterior door handle lights. Should there be 2 lights under each handle? As I only have 1 on 3 handles and the drivers door no light at all.

On my dad's 2010 S8 he has 2 per handle.

I have plugged in my vcds but can't seem to find anything on either of these problems. I admit I'm not fully 100% with vcds yet but am learning!

And lastly for now! The main headlights are to low, are they only adjustable through vcds?

Thanks for reading

Ricky.

I think the soft close is a bit of a common problem on the A8/S8 and can be a snapped cable rather than a motor or anything.

Not sure on the number of lights under each handle - is it not possible to see the individual bulbs using a mirror?
