Disadvantages of the Audi DETA engine

  • At this point, the only weak point of the engine is the short-lived flywheel;
  • Saving on diesel fuel often leads to expensive repairs of fuel equipment;
  • As with many modern diesel engines, the EGR valve quickly clogs with soot;
  • The water pump here may fail before the scheduled replacement of the timing belt;
  • Pour oils with VW 507.00 or 509.00 approvals, otherwise the particulate filter will not last long.
