Oil Leaks:

Valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket can develop leaks over time. PCV system issues can also lead to increased crankcase pressure and leaks.

Suspension Components:

Control arm bushings, ball joints, and tie rod ends are common wear items, leading to clunking noises and poor handling.

Power Windows Regulators:

Plastic components in the power window regulators can break, causing windows to fail.

T Case Thermostat Housing:

Plastic thermostat housing on 1.8T engines can become brittle and crack, leading to coolant leaks.

Egr Valve Clogging:

EGR valve can become clogged with carbon buildup, causing rough idle and check engine lights.

T Belt Tensioner Failure:

Failure of the timing belt tensioner can lead to premature belt wear or catastrophic engine damage.

ABS Sensor Failure:

ABS wheel speed sensors can fail, illuminating the ABS warning light.

Wiper Motor Failure:

Wiper motor can fail, leading to loss of windshield wiper function.

Climate Control Actuators:

Blend door actuators in the HVAC system can fail, resulting in improper temperature control or airflow.
