Disadvantages of the Audi DNWA engine

  • The main problem with such units is the owners’ unbridled desire for tuning.
  • But when used in stock condition, this turbo engine has few problems.
  • And an aluminum block with plasma spraying instead of sleeves does not cause any trouble.
  • On specialized forums we were able to find only a few complaints about cracks in vacuum tubes.
