Most common problems:

Oil consumption

Audi S3 engines, particularly the 2.0L TFSI, are known for higher than average oil consumption.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines like the one in the Audi S3 often suffer from carbon buildup on the intake valves.

Timing chain tensioner failure

Early models of the EA888 engine used in the S3 have had issues with the timing chain tensioner failing, which can lead to severe engine damage.

Water pump failure

The water pumps in these engines are known to fail, leading to potential overheating problems.

Pcv valve issues

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can fail, causing rough idling, oil leaks, and other performance issues.

Turbocharger problems

The turbochargers in these engines can develop wastegate rattle or fail prematurely.

Fuel injector failure

Fuel injectors in direct injection engines can become clogged or fail, leading to misfires and poor engine performance.
