Most common problems:

Oil consumption

Some Audi engines, particularly the 2.0-liter TFSI found in the 2018 Audi S3, are known for consuming more oil than usual. This can lead to a need for frequent oil top-ups and potential engine issues if not monitored.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines, like the one in the Audi S3, are prone to carbon buildup on the intake valves. This can cause rough idling, reduced performance, and increased fuel consumption.

Turbocharger issues

The turbocharger in the Audi S3 can sometimes fail or have issues, such as oil leaks or bearing failures, leading to reduced engine performance or failure.

Timing chain tensioner failure

Some Audi engines have experienced issues with the timing chain tensioner, which can lead to timing chain failure and severe engine damage if not addressed.

Ignition coil failure

Audi engines are known to have ignition coil failures, which can cause misfires, rough running, and reduced engine performance.

Fuel injector problems

The fuel injectors in direct injection engines can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance, increased emissions, and potential engine damage.

Pcv valve issues

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve in some Audi engines can fail, causing oil leaks, increased oil consumption, and poor engine performance.

Water pump failure

The water pump in some Audi models tends to fail prematurely, which can lead to engine overheating and potential engine damage if not replaced in time.
