Hi Frank I have been into Audi Sheffield who confirmed it’s normal 75% of the Q8s parked outside had the condensation I’m going up to Bamburgh in the new year will give it a bit of a run usually run into a bit of snow that time of year i will let you know how we get on 👍

Hi Frank The headlamps in the Q8 aren’t sealed they breathe apparently but it’s correct I’ve checked I visit for work just outside Mainz (Bornheim) my customers claim to fame is he has never been overtaken on the Autobahn between Frankfurt and Zurich and he’s 78 but he does drive a beast of a car AMG 63 se around 800 hp I think anyway it’s been interesting chatting and let’s both enjoy our Q8s .

Hi Frank It’s literally just condensation I’ve just checked the Q8 manual page 63 it says cold weather is the cause but it seems it’s not a problem I had 2 Q7s and they have been brilliant cars not 1 problem with each they were both 3ltr TDIs but as I tend to make shorter runs daily ( I’m still working haha ) I thought I’d swop to petrol I still run up north fairly often and I’m in Sheffield so I avoided the Electric versions the main difference is really the width of the Q8 other than that they aren’t too dissimilar like you I would have the Q8 but really at my age (65) I don’t need it Germanys changed as well not so many places unrestricted on the Autobahns these days sadly Best Regards Nigel

Hi Gareth That’s what i will do I’ve actually noticed a couple of Q8s today with this problem I’m going in to the dealership anyway but will make sure it’s reported I will let you know their response Nigel

Hi Frank Thanks for the reply the car is 1 year old and done 6k miles its under warranty I noticed today they are perfectly clear I’ve been told it’s in the Q8 Manuel that this is normal I haven’t checked myself . Nigel

I’ve noticed in damp conditions the headlights on my Q8 55 tfsi are fogging over is this normal I never noticed this with my previous car Q7
