From 2012 to 2016, a German company assembled the 2.0-liter Audi CNCD 2.0 TFSI engine, which was installed on the Q5 all-wheel drive crossover as well as passenger models of the A4 and A5 types. Such a power unit gained five more horsepower and a new CNCE index following the upgrade.
The EA888 gen3 series includes: CJSA, CJSB, CJEB, CHHA, CHHB, CXDA, CNCD, CJXC.

Disadvantages of the Audi CNCD engine
A decrease in the system’s oil pressure is linked to the majority of this motor’s malfunctions;
Oil pump failures or clogged bearing strainers are typically the cause;
There have been instances of detonation-related piston cracking; replacing them with forged ones is helpful;
Here, too, the phase control system fails as the timing chain is swiftly removed;
Numerous issues with the cooling system include: a pump with a thermostat or valve N488 is leaking; adjusting the boost pressure actuator usually helps with engine thrust failures.
