Audi a8 temp,high
Temp sensor is at the right hand rear of the engine (left side when looking from the front). You can get to it from above without too much issue.
They regularly fail and are a cheap replacement part. They don't throw diagnostic codes. Go genuine, or Bosch.
To replace, you pull the retaining clip out to the rear (be careful, they get dropped easily). The sensor itself pulls out, but will probably be stuck in slightly, so don't damage the cars plug pulling it out (disconnect plug first).
Make sure the o-ring comes out too, or go fishing for it (they can be brittle and break with age). New sensor will come with a new o-ring.

2000 audi a8 4.2 slip in reverse when the car is hot,if cold no problem
Hi
If you have a Auto g/box the problem could be either reverse pump or reverse band.
If you have a manual g/box then its the clutch slipping and the only thing with that is oil on plate.
But it has been known on other type cars was the rear brakes sticking on when hot in reverse.

Starts in a wrong gear (4th gear) and jerks before it go
Run fault codes and look for a faulty TCM unit. THE TCM will also put on the engine light and affect the speedometer operation . Running the fault codes will also identify the sensor associated with the ABS unit.. Seeing as to how you have just bought the car (possibly from a corner used car dealer) I would advise a pressure test done on the transmission to check for the condition of the transmission and have an oil change and the bands and clutch packs adjusted

First of all you need to access the Engine Control Module (ECM), Transmission Control Module (TCM), and ABS & ESP Electronic Control Unit using VAS, VAG-Com or similar diagnostic equipment connected to the data link connector of the car, in order to pull out all DTC's memored. DTC = Diagnostic Trouble Code. Then you will be full informed about the root cause of the problem, and you will be able to repair & replace bad pieces and reset the ECM, TCM and ABS & ESP ECU.
Let me know please about found DTC's. I will assist you kindly to fix your problem.
