Known Issues
|
|
Oil Consumption 2.0Tfsi:
|
Early TFSI engines (pre-2010 approximately) were known for higher oil consumption due to piston ring design. Requires detailed inspection and potential component upgrades.
|
|
Pcv Valve Failure:
|
Faulty Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can lead to rough idling, oil leaks, and increased oil consumption.
|
|
Timing Chain Tensioner:
|
While chain-driven, early versions of some tensioner designs have been noted to fail, causing rattling noises and potential timing issues.
|
|
Water Pump Leaks:
|
Plastic water pumps can develop leaks over time.
|
|
Thermostat Housing Leaks:
|
Plastic thermostat housings can crack and leak coolant.
