Disadvantages of the Audi ADP engine
Owners of this straightforward and dependable power unit are rarely bothered by it;
The crankcase ventilation’s frequent contamination is the main issue here;
Washing the throttle and nozzles usually helps with strong vibrations at work;
There are very few resources for the thermostat and antifreeze temperature sensor;
Over time, knocking hydraulic lifters and an oil burner are frequently encountered.
