Default Timing chain tensioner issues on later years?
Does anyone know if the 2.0T engines on the 14-16 Q5's are still suffering form the tensioner issue?

Side question, do the 3.0T engines have the same issue?

14-17 Q5's seem to have no issues, they all have the latest tensioner design. Only time and miles will tell if it is the best.

Thank you. Do you know if the 3.0 engine has the same issue?

I don't know about the 3.0, but I have not read anything about the 3.0 having a problem. Other 3.0 owners on this forum may have more knowledge.
