Most common problems:

Engine misfire

Misfires can occur due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors. This can lead to rough idling, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines, like those found in the 2018 Audi SQ5, are prone to carbon buildup on intake valves, which can lead to reduced performance and fuel efficiency.

Oil consumption

Some Audi V6 engines have been known to consume excessive oil, which may require more frequent oil top-offs or indicate a larger problem like worn piston rings or valve seals.

Faulty timing chain tensioner

Issues with the timing chain tensioner can lead to a rattling noise, poor engine performance, and potentially severe engine damage if the chain skips a tooth.

Turbocharger problems

If equipped, turbochargers can develop issues such as oil leaks, bearing failures, or wastegate problems, leading to reduced power and efficiency.

Fuel pump failure

The high-pressure fuel pump in the Audi SQ5 can fail, causing the engine to run lean and potentially stalling or failing to start.

Cooling system issues

Problems with the water pump or thermostat can lead to overheating, which can cause significant engine damage if not addressed promptly.
