2018 Audi Q2 problems

The 2018 Audi Q2 was sold with 2 engines and 1 gearbox that we have documented: the DSG7 DQ200 gearbox, the 1.0 TSI / 1.5 TSI and the 2.0 TDI. The DSG7 DQ200 gearbox has serious faults that affect the cars of that year. The safest option is the 1.0 TSI / 1.5 TSI (verdict “Buy”). Outside the engine, 2 documented faults affect 2018 cars, such as the electric parking brake could apply inappropriately.

Our score goes from 6.8 in 2017 to 6.8 in 2018. No longer affected by: rear wheel hub with a manufacturing defect (August 2017 cars) (rest of the car). Starts to be affected by: leaking injectors on the 1.0 TSI (2020 recall) (1.0 TSI / 1.5 TSI) and rear head restraints with a faulty weld (147 cars) (rest of the car).

According to our score, the best are 2026, 2025, 2024 and 3 other years with the same score (7.8/10). The year with the worst score is 2017 (6.8/10). Each year's score counts only the engines sold that year and the faults that affect those cars.

The most important ones documented for 2018 cars are: the electric parking brake could apply inappropriately (brakes, critical severity), mechatronic unit failure: pressure accumulator, pump and cracked housing (DSG7 DQ200 gearbox, high severity), rear head restraints with a faulty weld (147 cars) (airbags and safety, high severity), premature dry clutch wear and judder when driving (DSG7 DQ200 gearbox, medium severity) and coolant leaks from the water pump and thermostat module (1.0 TSI / 1.5 TSI, medium severity).
