Why does the check engine light come on when I start my A5?

It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. It’s just your A5 firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.

Why is my Audi A5 making engine noise?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Audi A5. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.

What could damage my Audi A5 engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Is it okay to put water in my Audi A5 radiator?

It’s not recommended you put water in your A5 radiator unless it’s an emergency. Under normal circumstances, use a 50/50 mix of water and coolant or a pre-mixed coolant. But, if you need to keep driving while out of coolant, using water is better than driving with an empty coolant reservoir.

What can cause the engine in my A5 to suddenly stop?

Your A5 car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
