Problems:

Engine misfire
A common problem with the Audi Q5, especially around the 2015 model year, is engine misfire due to carbon buildup on the intake valves. This can cause rough idling and reduced performance.
Excessive oil consumption
Some Audi Q5 models have been reported to consume more oil than expected. This is often due to issues with the piston rings or valve seals, leading to more frequent oil top-offs.
Timing chain tensioner failure
The 3.0L diesel engine may experience timing chain tensioner failure. If the tensioner fails, it can lead to severe engine damage due to improper timing and potential engine stalls.
Egr valve issues
Diesel engines, including those in the Q5, can have problems with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve getting clogged with carbon deposits, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.
Turbocharger failure
Turbochargers in diesel engines can sometimes fail prematurely due to oil contamination or excessive heat, resulting in loss of power and increased exhaust smoke.
Dpf clogging
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) clogging is a common issue in diesel engines, including the Audi Q5. This can lead to increased backpressure and reduced engine efficiency, often requiring regeneration or replacement of the filter.

Problems:

Oil consumption
Audi engines, especially V6 models, are known to consume more oil than average. This can lead to frequent top-ups and potential engine damage if not monitored.
Timing chain tensioner failure
The timing chain tensioner in some Audi models can fail, leading to a loose timing chain and potential engine damage.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines, like those in many Audis, can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, which affects performance and fuel efficiency.
Coolant leaks
Audi engines may develop coolant leaks due to faulty water pumps or coolant hoses, leading to overheating if not addressed.
Turbocharger issues
In turbocharged versions of the Audi A7, the turbocharger can fail, causing a loss of power and potential engine damage.
Electrical problems
Audi vehicles often face electrical issues that can affect engine performance, such as failing sensors or wiring problems.
Pcv valve failure
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can fail, leading to oil leaks and increased crankcase pressure.
Fuel injector problems
Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, resulting in poor engine performance and reduced fuel economy.
Ignition coil failure
Ignition coils in Audi engines may fail, causing misfires, rough idling, and reduced performance.
Thermostat failure
A faulty thermostat can cause engine overheating or inefficient heating, impacting engine performance and longevity.
