How to Solve the Oil Burning Issue in Audi Q5?
2 Answers
Audi Q5 solutions for oil burning are as follows: 1. First, advanced instrument tools must be used for detection: (1) Professional testing equipment reveals normal timing chain values, normal exhaust valve vacuum, and no oil leakage in the turbocharger inspection. (2) A 360-degree rotating visual probe inspection finds severe oil leakage from the valve seals and very serious carbon deposits in the cylinders. 2. Perform engine oil burning treatment without disassembly, the entire process is as follows: (1) Use specialized equipment and professional materials for construction, conducting deep treatment on piston rings, valve seals, and carbon deposits in the cylinders. (2) Add an oil burning repair kit.
I've been driving an Audi Q5 for several years and encountered an oil burning issue, mainly caused by stuck piston rings. When I noticed excessive oil consumption, I checked the dashboard warning and went to the dealership for diagnosis. The experts recommended replacing the piston rings and valve seals first, while using high-viscosity full synthetic oil like 0W-40 to reduce wear. The repair worked well, bringing oil consumption back to normal levels. I also learned that regularly changing the oil filter every 5,000 kilometers is crucial to prevent carbon buildup from jamming components. If doing it yourself, you can monitor the dipstick and top up oil periodically, but serious issues must be handled professionally to avoid damaging the turbo or catalytic converter. The total cost was a few thousand yuan, and addressing it early saves both money and hassle.
