Common Q2 Problems?

Overall, the Q2 receives great reviews, providing a premium vehicle with a competitive price tag. As with all cars, regular upkeep and maintenance is a requirement to ensure you are driving a safe and reliable vehicle. Auto Studio has experienced mechanics who are experts in European cars and would be happy to provide regular services for your vehicle. Here are some common problems that you may come across with your Audi Q2.

Excessive oil consumption

A common problem with the Q2 can be excessive oil consumption. While this may not cause an immediate problem, it is something to be aware of, as driving with inadequate oil levels can cause serious problems down the track. If your car is burning through oil faster than it should, it will also require oil top ups, creating additional running costs and hassle. If you have any concerns about the performance of your Audi Q2 then book in to have the expert mechanics at Auto Studio check your car is running at optimum performance.

Water Pump Failure

Water pump failures can be a potential problem with any vehicle, but there have been reports of early water pump failures with the Q2 in particular. If you have a faulty water pump you may notice coolant leaking from your car, overheating or steam coming from your radiator. This is a problem that will need to be addressed right away, and you shouldn’t drive your car until the problem has been addressed. If you are experiencing any trouble with your water pump, the expert mechanics at Auto Studio would be happy to assist in repairing your vehicle.

Transmission Oil Pressure Sensor

The most common sign of an issue with your transmission oil pressure sensor is for your oil light to become illuminated, or an improper oil pressure gauge reading. You may have noticed a ticking or knocking sound or your check engine light has turned on. If you have experienced any of these, then there is a chance your sensor may need to be replaced. A main cause of faulty sensors is running your engine with dirty oil, so it is important to maintain regular servicing and oil changes. Auto Studio can change your oil at your next service and ensure your car is driving at its best with premium oil suited to your car.
