Disadvantages of the Audi CABB engine
With less than 100,000 kilometers of resource, the timing chain is the most well-known motor issue.
A weak tensioner can also cause the chain to jump after parking in gear.
Floating revolutions and increased carbon formation come in second.
Oil burns are a common result of the crankcase ventilation system clogging up rather quickly.
The pump, intake manifold flaps, and ignition coils are also frequently criticized.
