Audi Q52020

Known issues

• Battery capacity degradation over time; expect 5-10% loss by 100,000 km depending on charging habits and climate
• Charging port corrosion and connectivity issues, particularly in damp climates; intermittent charging failures reported
• DSG 7-speed gearbox judder and hesitation during low-speed manoeuvres and gear changes, especially when electric motor disengages
• High-voltage cooling system leaks around the battery thermal management system; costly repair due to sealed module design
• Water ingress into rear light clusters and tail gate electronics, causing parasitic battery drain when vehicle is parked
• 12V auxiliary battery drain when vehicle sits unused for extended periods due to complex hybrid control modules
