Disadvantages of the Audi CVKB engine
Although the motor has shown itself to be reliable and each of the failures listed below is unique;
Low oil consumption from the first km of run has been complained about on specialized forums; closer to 120–150 thousand km, the timing chain is frequently stretched and needs to be replaced;
A plastic pump and an adjustable oil pump are two more engine flaws.
