Known Issues
|
Oil Consumption 2.0Tfsi:
|
Some early B8 models (including some 2011s) experienced higher than normal oil consumption due to piston ring design. The manual will detail checks and potential fixes.
|
Thermostat Issues:
|
Premature failure of the engine thermostat and housing leading to cooling system faults or overheating.
|
Pcv Valve Failure:
|
Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can fail, leading to rough idle, oil leaks, or seal damage.
|
Timing Chain Tensioners 2.0Tfsi:
|
While more common in older 2.0 TFSI engines (e.g., BPY), early B8 2.0 TFSI variants can also be susceptible to timing chain tensioner wear. The manual details inspection procedures.
|
Water Pump Failures:
|
Water pump seal failures can lead to coolant leaks.
