Audi Q5 2008 3.2 FSI quattro engine CALB
Engine reliability and common problems:
This engine continues to suffer from a range of reliability concerns, many of which stem from cost-cutting on materials. One recurring issue involves low-grade gaskets used in critical areas like valve covers, actuator seals, and the vacuum pump, leading to premature leaks. Fuel consumption tends to rise sharply in engines affected by cylinder wall scoring, with more severe cases also accompanied by notable oil loss. Despite some improvements over time, the engine remains far from a benchmark in durability.Owners frequently report power dips and sluggish throttle response, typically linked to injector malfunction caused by fuel contamination. In situations where fuel pressure consistently drops, it’s often due to gasoline leaking into the cylinders and stripping away the protective oil film, accelerating internal wear. Chain tensioners also prove unreliable over time, with cold-start rattling and abnormal noises from the engine bay commonly marking their decline. Scoring can appear suddenly, especially in used vehicles where the engine has been driven aggressively while still cold. Carbon buildup on the valves is another lingering issue that has yet to be effectively addressed.
