Audi Q5

"2009--2011 4 cyl engine suffered excessive oil use, supposedly fixed at start of 2012. My 2012 was evidently built with some of old parts. Aware of the problem, Audi devised a definition of excessive oil use. They fill oil reservoir and car driven at least 600 miles. Oil remaining measured somehow electronically. My car used 0.84pints per thousand miles. They decided to replace pistons and rings at no charge. I did pay for new timing chain and tensioner, based on their experience with the many similar engines. New seals in emission system were not installed, since the proper parts had been used at first assembly. Software for emission system was updated. That seemed to alter the transmission shift points slightly."

"audi replaced the engine no cost to me."

"I have been complaining about increasing oil consumption for sometime now, was put off by service department. I finally insisted on an oil consumption test and it is now consuming .88 quarts per 1000 miles. I am within the extended warranty mileage but outside the time by a year. The 2.0T has had documented issues with oil consumption and a class action suit but Audi insists the issues were fixed by the 2012 model year. AUDI offered no assistance and states it is only the result of high mileage. This oil consumption is not acceptable for well maintained (everything by the book by the dealer) vehicle. Last VW ever for me. Also, this vehicle had the frnsmission replaced under warranty at 40000 miles. Pathetic."

"Excessive oils use caused piston and ring replacement basically a rebuild a known problem with an extended warranty up to '11 model year. Audi refused to help with the '12 model year."

"Excess oil usage. Factory covered piston and piston ring replacement even though out of warrantee"

"Oil consumption issue due to out of spec pistons/rings installed at factory, a known issue happening since at least 2007 model year, possibly earlier. Company was sued and settled on 2007 through 2011 model years, but no longer is covering the cost of this fix after last year or for 2012 models. The bill to repair to replace the pistons was $6,000.00"

"The vehicle didn't actually get an engine rebuild but requires one due to excessive oil consumption (> 1 liter per 1000 miles). We have the engine code CAEB that is known to have ring problems and increasing oil consumption over time"

"rebuilt engine under warranty"

"Engine pulled and pistons replaced in a 2.5 year old car! Dealer said that oil consumption issues had been observed in 2012 & 2013 models"

"The timing chain tensioner went it 170k. It was fixed by dealer and was an expensive fix. It was fixed perfectly with no ongoing issues."

"The vehicle was sold as having a timing chain that would last the lifetime of the vehicle. It did not resulting in a catastrophic failure requiring a new engine. Only AFTER the engine failed did Audi recall the timing chain issue."

"Lost power and limped the car to the dealership. Ended up with a $4000 repair. Car was perfect after repair. Luckily no long term engine damage."

"The turbo failed and had to be replaced at a cost of over $3000. There was no explanation given as to the reason the turbo failed"

"must add appx 1 quart oil every 3 months"

"It goes through a quart of oil every 1200 miles. It doesn't leak the oil, it burns the oil. Audi acknowledges the issue but won't fix for free."

"The problem is not resolved. The engine consumes about 1 quart of oil every other gas fill up. It has done this since we bought it. We have always serviced at an Audi dealer. They say it is normal."

"Began consuming an excessive amount of oil (> 1qt/1500 miles)"

"oil tank had a small leak that was not dropping to the floor because it was collecting on the skid plate. I noticed a lot of oil being used and did not see any on floor. The removed engine and the skid plate was full of oil. Repaired now, no problems"

"The car burns about 1 quart of oil every 600-700 miles. I am told this can only be fixed with a new motor."

"Q5 built in late 2011 tend to have oil pass the piston rings and burn oil. Became quite a problem and engine failed and had to be replaced"

"A very minor Oil leak occureed near transmission pump"

"The sealer was loose."

"it is not exactly leak. The oil consumption is burning so fast, e.g. 1L per 1200km"

"We had to carry extra oil because the oil leaked regularly. Audi eventually did a recall, the problem was repaired and we haven't had an issue since"

"OIL SEAL"

"Bake noise"

"Sunroof knocking sound...very annoying"

"Rattles- suspension system. Squeaks- brakes when air temperature is cold. The noise was umbearable from the begining and it took several fixes, 4 years and many complaints untill Audi replaced the brakes with the newly designed for 2017 models"

"Started squeeking/rattling at about 20K miles. Not too bad, but not perfectly happy. Spent a lot of time trying to figure it out physically and also looking on line for clues. No luck. Hard to even get dwgs of how to remove panels. Audi: do better"

"persistent rattle in the sunroof. dealer can't find"

"Moon roof creaking. Fixed under warranty by dealer by replacing seals"

"sunroff squeaks"

"The sunroof sounded like there was a metal ball rolling around in there. The dealership told me this had happened on a few other Q5s and they fixed it under warranty"

"Noise produced by the cargo bars is excessive. I have driven newer model Q5s that do not produce this much noise. But no solution was suggested by dealership."
