Which generation of engine does the Audi Q5 use?
2 Answers
Audi Q5 uses the 3rd generation engine. Method for cleaning the engine compartment: After the car has cooled down, you can use a brush to gently wipe off the dust on these instruments, being careful not to apply too much force to avoid damaging the circuit boards. Then, spray the purchased cleaner onto these parts, taking care not to spray it onto the circuit boards to prevent short circuits. Finally, gently wipe them again with a cloth. Do not rinse with water: For new cars, you can use a high-pressure water gun when cleaning the engine compartment. However, for older cars, although the engine compartment is insulated, there is still a risk of causing short circuits in some areas.
I've driven the Audi Q5 for several years. The earlier models, such as those from 2008 to 2017, used the second-generation EA888 engine, which felt a bit sluggish to start and had relatively high fuel consumption. The newer Q5 models, especially the second-generation versions after 2018 and the third-generation models in 2023, have been upgraded to the fourth-generation EA888 engine. The driving experience is noticeably smoother, with much quicker acceleration response. The generational upgrade of the engine has improved fuel efficiency, saving a significant amount on monthly fuel costs for daily use, and maintenance has become more convenient with easier-to-find parts. However, it still depends on the specific year and configuration, as there are slight differences between versions. The higher the engine generation, the stronger the reliability, which is crucial in my long-term driving experience.
