Default Convert oil to gas. Is it feasible in Q5?

Does anybody know if Audi Q5 TFSI 2000cc oil motor can be converted to gas motor for reasons of fuel economy. My car has 30.000km, is a 2009 model and I am looking to convert to gas. In Greece, official dealer says there is no suitable system for this kind of motor.

No.


Sell the vehicle and buy something with a petrol engine.

A good mechanic can convert almost anything, but the conversion costs will be so high that you'd probably need to drive for another twenty years to save as much on fuel, whether you mean "gas" as gasoline, or compressed natural gas, or whatever other fuel.

Not to mention, you'd destroy the entire resale value of the car, so you'd better plan on keeping it for another 20 or 30 years before throwing it away.

I agree with selling it, and buying whatever kind of "gas" car you are looking for.

I believe OP means LPG (Google to understand what it is). There should be solutions, mostly Italian. Very popular in my country, where LPG costs 1/2-1/3 of gasoline with 10-20% more consumption. My VW/Audi dealer installs it, and since all (well, with very few exceptions) VW/Audi petrol engines are TFSI now, it should be compatible with TFSI. Good luck!
