Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the AUQ engine.

Engine AUQ is known for issues like turbocharger failure, carbon buildup on intake valves, and oil consumption. Diagnosis involves checking for turbo boost leaks, listening for unusual turbo noises, and inspecting spark plugs for fouling. Preventive measures include regular oil changes with high-quality synthetic oil, using proper fuel, and cleaning the intake system periodically to reduce carbon deposits. Solutions for turbo failure often require turbo replacement or rebuild. Carbon buildup can be addressed with walnut blasting or chemical intake cleaning. Monitoring and maintaining the PCV system helps control oil consumption. Early attention to these areas ensures engine longevity and performance.
