Disadvantages of the VW APF engine
Breakdowns occur at high mileage, but this motor is dependable and has a high resource.
The fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator is typically the cause of the power drop.
Air leaks or mass air flow sensor malfunctions are frequently the cause of unstable operation.
Low reliability is another characteristic of the mechanism for altering the intake geometry.
Near 200,000 kilometers, ring and cap wear frequently results in oil consumption.
