Do you mean they stopped being suspect?  That would be good news for my '01.

Keep an eye on the tranny as they are suspect from 97-2000

I've solved a problem very much like that by loosening and re-torquing the 
sub frame bolts.

As for the list, yeah sorry, but this list is pretty low-key. I think yours 
is the first post I've seen this month. Testament to the reliability of the 
A8's?                  LOL, yeah, right, that MUST be it ;-).
