Problem
explanation
Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction
DBS systems can sometimes fail to activate properly due to sensor issues, software glitches, or wiring problems, reducing braking assistance during emergencies.
Excessive engine brake wear
Given the high horsepower (349 hp) and performance nature of the Audi S5, the engine brake components can experience accelerated wear if the vehicle is driven aggressively.
Engine misfires
The 6-cylinder engines from Audi can sometimes suffer from misfires due to faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
Oil consumption
Some Audi engines, including the V6, are known for higher-than-average oil consumption, which can lead to frequent top-ups and potential engine damage if not monitored.
Timing chain rattle
Audi V6 engines can develop timing chain issues, leading to a rattle noise on startup and potentially severe engine damage if the chain fails.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection engines like the one in the Audi S5 can suffer from carbon buildup on intake valves, which can cause reduced performance and fuel efficiency.
Emissions-related problems
Due to the stringent Tier 3 BIN 70 LEV3 ULEV70 emissions standards, there might be issues related to the emissions control systems, such as the catalytic converter or EGR valve.
Software updates required
Modern vehicles like the 2023 Audi S5 often require software updates to fix bugs, improve performance, or address recalls, which can be a common inconvenience.
Electrical issues
Luxury vehicles like the Audi S5 tend to have complex electrical systems, which can sometimes lead to problems with sensors, wiring, or electronic control units (ECUs).
