Audi
The 2.0T and 3.0T are excellent engines with a short list of known weak points. Knowing the list is the difference between a $600 fix and a $6,000 one.

What we check first
The Audi issues a specialist knows by heart.
These are the well-documented, high-frequency faults on Audi platforms. Whether yours has them depends on the year, engine and mileage, which is what the diagnostic is for.
Timing chain tensioner on early 2.0T
2008 to 2013 EA888 engines can rattle on cold start when the tensioner fails. Caught early it is a tensioner and guides. Ignored, it is an engine.
Water pump and thermostat housing
Plastic housings seep coolant at the seam. A sweet smell after a drive or slow coolant loss is the tell. We replace the assembly and pressure test.
Carbon buildup on direct injection
Intake valves coke up by 80k to 100k miles, costing power and idle quality. Walnut blasting restores it without opening the engine.
