Home / Audi
From A4s and Q5s to S and RS models, Audis have a handful of well-known weak spots. If you know where to look, most of them can be fixed without a trip to the dealer.
Most Audis I see use either the 2.0T four-cylinder or the 3.0T supercharged V6. Each has its own list of known problems, and the right fix depends on which engine you have and what year it is.
S tronic transmissions need fluid service on schedule. On quattro models, the type of all-wheel-drive system depends on the car, and the smaller cars use a coupling that needs its own fluid service. I check what yours has and service it correctly.
It depends on the engine and how much. Some 2.0T engines from around 2009 to 2011 are known for burning oil because of piston ring design. I can measure how much it's using and check whether a failed PCV valve is making it worse.
Yes. The dual-clutch S tronic has a fluid service interval, and skipping it leads to rough shifts and expensive repairs.
For tires, brakes, 12V, suspension, and diagnosis, yes. High-voltage and warranty work goes to Audi.
Full list of what I work on: services. Hours are Monday to Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM, with 24-hour emergency response for RVs.
