Why did the check engine light come on in my Audi Q5?
Years 2017-2025

Answer

If the engine failure warning light has come on on the dashboard of our Audi Q5, it means that a malfunction has been detected in the fuel system, exhaust system or in the engine itself. The car could exhibit anomalous behaviour, such as limited speed, excessive fuel consumption and acceleration problems. In these cases, it is advisable to carry out a check in the workshop as soon as possible.
