Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the DKAA engine.
Engine DKAA, found in Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro models (2015–2020 and beyond), is a high-performance V10 engine known for power and precision. Common issues include carbon buildup on intake valves due to direct injection, which can cause rough idling and misfires. Diagnosis involves a thorough inspection with a borescope and performance scans. Prevention includes using high-quality fuel and regular intake cleaning every 30,000–50,000 km. Another concern is timing chain tensioner wear; listen for rattling noises on cold starts and address promptly to avoid severe engine damage. Regular oil changes with manufacturer-specified synthetic oil and timely software updates help maintain reliability and performance.
