2013 Audi Q5 Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1626813

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Upon reaching approximately 75,000 miles, i began noticing a louder than normal noise when starting the engine. The noise continued, and around 80,000 miles, i began receiving a check engine light for cam position limit. I did a lot of research and diagnostics to find that the timing chain had stretched, causing the noise and check engine lights. I had the faulty timing chain replaced, luckily before any severe damage had occurred. The timing chain should not need replaced that early in the life of the vehicle, but this problem has plagued the vw/audi 2. 0 engine, even after the timing chain tensioner update. This could have been catastrophic. Many owners have not been so lucky and have required engine replacement due to valve damage from timing chain stretch at even lower mileage.

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
