Audi Service & Repair in

Glenolden, PA | Briarcliffe Auto Service

Audi has earned its place among the world's premier luxury automakers by combining German engineering with cutting-edge technology. From the practical A4 and Q5 to high-performance S and RS models, Audi delivers a driving experience that balances comfort, capability, and sophistication.

That level of engineering requires specialized knowledge when it comes to maintenance and repair. Audi vehicles feature complex systems like quattro all-wheel drive, turbocharged engines, and advanced electronics that need proper diagnosis and care to perform at their best.

Briarcliffe Auto Service has been family-owned since 1987, and our technicians have the experience and equipment to work on Audis of all ages. We understand what these vehicles need to stay reliable for the long haul.

Common Audi Problems We See

Audis are well-built vehicles, but certain issues show up more often than others. Here's what typically brings Audi owners through our doors:

Oil Leaks Audis are notorious for developing oil leaks as they age. Common culprits include the valve cover gasket, cam chain tensioner seal, and rear main seal. If you notice oil spots in your driveway or smell burning oil, it's time to have it checked before low oil levels cause engine damage.

Timing Chain Tensioner Failure Many Audi models with the 2.0T engine have a known issue with the timing chain tensioner, especially in 2008-2013 A4 and Q5 vehicles. A rattling noise on startup is often the first warning sign. If the tensioner fails completely, it can cause catastrophic engine damage.

Carbon Buildup on Intake Valves Audi's direct injection engines are prone to carbon deposits building up on the intake valves over time. This leads to rough idling, misfires, and reduced performance. Periodic walnut blasting to clean the valves is the standard fix.

Electrical and Sensor Issues With all the technology packed into modern Audis, electrical gremlins are common. Faulty sensors, malfunctioning modules, and software glitches can trigger warning lights and affect everything from fuel economy to drivability.
