If you are an Audi then this car may be your prized possession, but like most other European cars, they can have their common maintenance issues. Some issues aren’t necessarily unique to Audi but you should still be aware of them and get them fixed as soon as you can.
Here are the most common Audi repair issues:
Oil Leaks
Oil leaks in Audis likely come from the valve cover gasket and the camshaft tensioner. It is likely that you will have to replace one or both of these parts but it will depend on which one is displaying a leak.
Electrical Components
Failure of electrical components is very common, many have reported that the most common failure is the digital dashboard display or console, malfunctioning tail lamps and erratic lights. OE equipment replacement is the simple solution. Check your warranty coverage.
Ignition Coil or Spark Plug Failure
Failure of the Ignition coil is the top common mechanical problem, plus it’s the top reason behind the engine misfiring. You will need installation of the spark plugs and the engine will need to be tuned to factory specifications. Fortunately, ignition coils and spark plugs are inexpensive.
Catalytic Converter Failure
Catalytic converters are likely to fail because of clogging or carbon build-up that can solidify and jam the exhaust flow. You can replace the catalytic converter but it’s not viable as a long-term solution. Our team at Foreign Affairs will be able to locate the true cause and suggest a solution. Just be sure to keep the engine fine-tuned and make sure it’s regularly maintained.
Exhaust Gas Re-Circulation (EGR)
EGR, a system that lowers the temperatures in the combustion chamber, can succumb to carbon build-up as well as wear and tear.
