2013 Audi RS5 Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Audi? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Audi? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your RS5 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your RS5 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my RS5 transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2013 RS5’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Audi. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Audi RS5 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Audi RS5 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.

  • Can I still drive my Audi RS5 if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your RS5 with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
