Basic Steps to Check the Health of Your Audi's Ignition System

Maintaining your Audi's ignition system ensures you get the rapid throttle response and peak fuel economy of your TFSI powertrain. For owners of the popular Audi Q5, these components are subjected to extreme thermal cycles and vibrations.

2. Difficulty Starting When Cold

Signals that your starter or solenoid is drawing too much current.

3. Significant Drop in Fuel Economy

Often caused by worn spark plug electrodes.

4. Single "Click" When Turning Key

Definitive sign of a failed starter solenoid.

5. "Check Engine" Light for Misfires
