Problems:

Oil consumption issues
V-shaped engines, like the one in the Audi S5, are known to sometimes consume more oil, which can lead to frequent oil top-ups and potential engine damage if not monitored.
Carbon build-up
Direct-injection engines, commonly found in modern Audis, can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, leading to reduced performance and fuel efficiency.
Timing chain tensioner problems
Some Audi V6 engines have been known to have issues with the timing chain tensioner, which can lead to catastrophic engine failure if not addressed promptly.
Turbocharger failures
Turbocharged engines can sometimes experience turbocharger failures, which can cause a significant drop in performance and require expensive repairs.
Cooling system leaks
The cooling system in some Audi models can develop leaks, which can lead to overheating and potential engine damage if not fixed.
Electrical system malfunctions
Modern vehicles, including the Audi S5, can experience issues with their complex electrical systems, leading to problems ranging from sensor failures to complete system shutdowns.
Pcv valve issues
Problems with the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can lead to oil leaks and pressure issues within the engine.
Fuel injector problems
Direct injection systems can suffer from clogged or failing fuel injectors, leading to rough idling, poor performance, and increased emissions.
Water pump failures
Some Audi engines have been known to experience premature water pump failures, which can result in overheating and serious engine damage if not addressed.

Problems:

Engine oil consumption
Audi engines, particularly the V6 models, are known to sometimes consume more oil than expected. This can lead to the need for more frequent oil top-ups and can be indicative of issues such as worn piston rings or valve seals.
Timing chain tensioner failure
The V-shaped engines, including those from Audi, have been known to experience timing chain tensioner failures. This can cause a rattling noise from the engine, particularly on startup, and can lead to severe engine damage if not addressed.
Carbon buildup
Audi's direct injection engines, including the V6, are prone to carbon buildup on the intake valves. This can lead to reduced performance, rough idling, and misfires.
Turbocharger issues
Turbocharged engines in Audis, including the SQ5, can sometimes experience turbocharger failures. Symptoms include loss of power, whistling noises, and increased exhaust smoke.
Coolant leaks
There have been reports of coolant leaks in some Audi V6 engines, which can lead to overheating and potential engine damage if not repaired promptly.
Electrical issues
Some Audi models, including the SQ5, have been known to have electrical problems, such as issues with the infotainment system, sensors, and wiring, which can lead to various warning lights and malfunctions.
Emissions system problems
The emissions system, designed to meet federal and California standards, can occasionally have issues, such as faulty sensors or catalytic converter failures, leading to increased emissions and potential legal compliance issues.
AUDI S4 2020

The 2020 Audi S4 quattro Premium Plus is a high-performance passenger car featuring a 3.0L V6 engine producing 349 hp. It comes equipped with advanced safety features like Dynamic Brake Support (DBS), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and Forward Collision Warning (FCW).

Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines are prone to carbon build-up on intake valves, which can affect performance and efficiency.
Turbocharger problems
Turbocharged engines may face issues with the turbocharger, including failure or oil leaks.
Coolant leaks
Coolant leaks can occur from various parts of the engine, such as the water pump or radiator, leading to overheating.
Sensor failures
Various sensors (oxygen sensor, MAF sensor) can fail, leading to poor engine performance and check engine lights.
Emissions control issues
Components related to emissions control systems (EGR valve, catalytic converter) can fail, affecting emissions and performance.
