Problems:
Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction
The DBS system may not engage or function correctly, potentially due to software issues or sensor malfunctions.
Oil consumption
Some 2.0T engines have a history of higher-than-normal oil consumption which could lead to engine wear or damage if not monitored and addressed.
Timing chain tensioner failure
The timing chain tensioner in some Audi engines has been known to fail, leading to potential engine timing issues and severe engine damage.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection engines, like the 2.0T, can suffer from carbon buildup on the intake valves, leading to rough idle, misfires, or reduced performance.
Turbocharger issues
The turbocharger can develop issues over time, such as bearing wear or wastegate failure, which can affect engine performance.
Electrical problems
Modern Audis, including the S5, are known to experience various electrical issues, from minor sensor glitches to more severe wiring problems.
Cooling system leaks
Potential for coolant leaks, which could cause the engine to overheat and lead to significant damage if not addressed promptly.
Transmission problems
Issues with the transmission such as hesitation, rough shifting, or even failure have been reported in some models and years.
Pcv valve failure
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve may fail, causing increased oil consumption and potential engine performance issues.
Fuel injector issues
Direct injection systems can sometimes have fuel injector problems, leading to misfires, poor fuel economy, and reduced engine performance.
