Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

Q1

What is the function of the oxygen sensor (O2 sensor) in the 2007-2016 Audi S5 emissions system?

The oxygen sensor (O2 sensor) monitors the oxygen content in the exhaust gases. It provides real-time feedback to the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to optimize the air-fuel mixture for efficient combustion, ensuring compliance with emissions standards. The sensor operates at a voltage range of 0.1V (lean mixture) to 0.9V (rich mixture).

Q2

How often should the emissions sensors be replaced in a 2007-2016 Audi S5?

The oxygen sensors typically have a service life of 60,000 to 90,000 miles. However, this can vary based on driving conditions and fuel quality. Audi recommends inspecting the sensors during routine maintenance and replacing them if fault codes (e.g., P0130 or P0150) indicate sensor degradation or failure.

Q3

What are the symptoms of a failing NOx sensor in the Audi S5?

A failing NOx sensor may trigger the Check Engine Light (CEL) and store fault codes such as P2200 or P2201. Symptoms include reduced engine performance, increased fuel consumption, and failure to pass emissions tests. The NOx sensor is critical for monitoring nitrogen oxide levels in the exhaust, particularly in diesel models.

Q4

Can I replace the emissions sensors myself, or should I consult a professional?

While it is possible to replace emissions sensors yourself, it requires specialized tools and knowledge of the Audi S5's exhaust system. Improper installation can lead to damage or incorrect readings. Audi recommends professional service to ensure proper calibration and avoid voiding the vehicle's warranty.

Q5

What is the difference between upstream and downstream oxygen sensors in the Audi S5?

The upstream oxygen sensor (pre-catalytic converter) measures the air-fuel ratio directly from the exhaust manifold, while the downstream sensor (post-catalytic converter) monitors the efficiency of the catalytic converter. Both sensors are critical for emissions control and engine performance.
