Most common problems:

Oil consumption

Many Audi A4s, particularly those from around 2012, have been known to consume oil at a higher rate than expected. This can lead to frequent oil top-offs and potential engine damage if not monitored.

Timing chain tensioner failure

The timing chain tensioner in the 2012 Audi A4 can fail, which may lead to severe engine damage if not addressed promptly. This issue is typically marked by rattling noises from the engine, especially during startup.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines, like those in the Audi A4, can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves. This can affect engine performance, causing misfires, rough idling, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Turbocharger issues

The turbocharger in the Audi A4 can develop problems such as oil leaks or bearing failures. Symptoms include a loss of power, unusual noises, or excessive smoke from the exhaust.

Cooling system problems

The 2012 Audi A4 can experience issues with the cooling system, such as water pump or thermostat failures. These issues can lead to engine overheating if not addressed.

Pcv valve failure

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve in the Audi A4 can fail, leading to a variety of issues including rough idling, increased oil consumption, and potential engine damage.

Fuel injector problems

The fuel injectors in the 2012 Audi A4 can become clogged or fail, causing poor engine performance, misfires, and reduced fuel efficiency.
