Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2010 model year cars.
- Oil Consumption (2.0 TFSI)Serious
Early EA888 Gen 2 2.0 TFSI piston rings can allow oil into the combustion chambers, so affected pre-facelift Q5s use a litre every 1,000-1,500 miles with no visible leak and blue smoke on the overrun; the proper fix is internal engine work (pistons and rings), not merely topping up.
- Timing Chain Tensioner FailureSerious
The EA888 2.0 TFSI timing chain tensioner can lose pressure overnight, causing chain slack and a rattle on cold start. If ignored, the chain can jump and destroy the engine.
- S tronic (DL501) Mechatronic FailureSerious
The 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox can suffer mechatronic unit failure and clutch pack wear, especially on the heavier Q5.
