Disadvantages of the Audi CABB engine
- The most famous motor problem is the timing chain, its resource is less than 100,000 km.
- Also, the chain may jump after parking in gear due to a weak tensioner.
- In second place here is increased carbon formation and floating revolutions.
- The crankcase ventilation system clogs up pretty quickly, which is fraught with oil burns.
- There are also many complaints about the ignition coils, pump and intake manifold flaps.
