Known Issues
|
Oil Consumption:
|
Some 2.0T engines can experience oil consumption due to piston ring wear or PCV system issues.
|
Ignition Coil Failure:
|
Common failure point, leading to misfires.
|
Pcv Valve Failure:
|
Can cause rough idle, oil leaks, and high oil consumption.
|
Front Suspension Components:
|
Control arm bushings and ball joints can wear prematurely, leading to clunking noises and steering looseness.
|
Power Steering Pump Leaks:
|
Can develop leaks over time.
|
Water Pump Leaks:
|
Can leak coolant, often requiring replacement of the timing belt as well on belt-driven engines.
