Disadvantages of the Audi AMB engine
In this case, oil coking in the supply pipes frequently causes the turbine to fail;
Air leakage in the intake is the primary cause of floating engine speeds.
The crankcase ventilation failure is the primary cause of the carbon deposits’ quick formation;
The resource of ignition coils with integrated switches is low.
The secondary air system, N75 valve, and coolant temperature sensor are the motor’s weak points.
