Disadvantages of the Audi CJXC engine
The adjustable oil pump’s malfunctions are the main cause of these issues.
Cases of insert rotation brought on by a decrease in lubricant pressure are discussed on specialized forums.
The timing chain and occasionally the phase regulators may need to be replaced even after 100,000 kilometers.
The boost pressure regulator V465 needs to be modified about every 50,000 kilometers.
The water pump’s plastic housing frequently cracks and leaks due to high temperatures.
