Most common problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction

DBS systems can sometimes fail to engage properly, which may result in reduced braking assistance during emergency stops.

Engine misfires

Misfires in a 6-cylinder engine can be caused by issues such as faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

Turbocharger issues

Turbocharged engines, like the one in the Audi RS 5, can experience problems such as turbo lag, boost pressure loss, or turbo failure.

Oil consumption

Some Audi engines are known for excessive oil consumption, which can lead to frequent top-ups and potential engine damage if not monitored.

Carbon buildup

Direct-injection engines often suffer from carbon buildup on the intake valves, which can affect performance and fuel efficiency.

Timing chain tensioner failure

Audi engines may experience timing chain tensioner issues, which can lead to timing chain slack and potentially catastrophic engine damage.

Cooling system problems

The cooling system, including the radiator and water pump, can encounter issues like leaks or failures, leading to engine overheating.

Transmission issues

The RS 5's transmission might suffer from delayed shifting, rough gear changes, or even failure, especially if not properly maintained.

Electrical problems

Modern Audi vehicles are equipped with complex electrical systems that can sometimes malfunction, leading to issues with the infotainment system, power windows, or other electronic components.

Fuel system issues

Problems with the fuel system, such as a failing fuel pump or clogged fuel filter, can result in poor engine performance or stalling.

Suspension wear

The performance-oriented suspension system of the RS 5 can wear out faster than standard suspensions, leading to a rough ride or handling issues.
