Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The Audi RS 7, particularly with an 8-cylinder engine, may experience oil leaks due to worn gaskets or seals.

Carbon build-up

The direct injection engines in the RS 7 are prone to carbon build-up on the intake valves, which can affect performance.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain tensioners on some Audi V8 engines can wear out prematurely, leading to potential engine damage.

Turbocharger problems

The turbochargers in the RS 7 can sometimes fail, leading to loss of power and increased exhaust smoke.

Fuel injector failure

The high-performance nature of the RS 7's engine can lead to fuel injector issues, causing misfires or poor fuel economy.

Cooling system failures

Radiator and water pump issues are common, which can lead to overheating.

Emissions system faults

Given the ULEV II / Bin 5 certification, the emissions control systems can sometimes fail, triggering the check engine light.

Electrical issues

Various electrical components, including sensors and the ECU, can develop faults, affecting engine performance.
