Common Audi A5 Problems and How We Fix Them
Transmission Problems
The Audi A5 models with the CVT Multitronic gearbox can be a bit sluggish, especially in older models. Neglecting regular transmission fluid changes makes these problems worse. Our team ensures optimal performance by offering fluid changes and complete transmission diagnostics.
Failures of Cooling Systems
Coolant leaks, mainly from the water pumps, are rampant in some of the A5 models. This, if left unattended, may cause overheating of the engine. These are usually avoided by regular cooling system maintenance and prompt repairs at the hands of our experts to avoid costly engine damage.
Airbag System Failure
However, with a defective clock spring or problem in the passenger occupancy sensor, the safety of the occupants is affected. In this regard, Fremont Foreign Auto does a comprehensive analysis to solve these problems so that the airbag system can act perfectly when needed.
Electrical Glitches
Everything from flickering headlights to infotainment bugs are common on high mileage A5s. We can find issues with high-end diagnostic tools to trace the faults and repair them so that your car’s systems function cohesively once again.
Timing Chain Problems
High mileage can cause an A5 timing chain to stretch or fail. This can cause big issues like an engine misfire or a catastrophic failure. Make sure to schedule preventive maintenance, which includes an inspection and replacement of timing chains and tensioners as needed.
Excessive Oil Consumption
Oil burning is common for turbocharged engines in the A5, which results in lower levels and potential engine issues. Routine oil changes along with inspections will help; rest assured, we’ve got your car ready and set to perform.
Wear and Tear on the Brakes
