Disadvantages of the Audi CAGA engine
Here, the fuel’s quality has a significant impact on the piezo injectors’ lifespan.
These diesels had an oil pump hex issue up until 2009.
Additionally, these motors enjoy pressing oil from beneath the plastic valve cover.
When the timing belt breaks after 180,000 kilometers, the valves bend.
Many issues can arise with an EGR valve and particulate filter after 200,000 kilometers.
