Disadvantages of the Audi CFGB engine
The electromagnetic injector Bosch fuel system has a long lifespan;
Regular leaks and an unreliable oil separator are the main issues;
Keep a close eye on the timing belt’s condition because when it breaks, the valves bend. The remaining issues are related to diesel particulate filter or EGR valve contamination.
