Overview
Community orientation
The Audi Q5 FY (2017–2024) is a quattro SUV offered with the 2.0 TFSI (EA888) and the SQ5's supercharged/turbo 3.0 TFSI V6 petrol engines, plus the 2.0 TDI (EA189/EA288) and the 3.0 TDI V6 diesels, across the pre- and post-facelift (MY2021) windows. Q5 FY authors no problems of its own: the community-orientation patterns for each engine are authored on the anchor generation that owns that family and resolve here through the shared engine graph. This is an editorial catalogue summary, not a reliability rating; the per-configuration patterns are below, each with the build window it applies to.
