Known weak points

  • Coolant loss from the plastic thermostat housing / water pump module, often weeping before failing outright
  • Ignition coil and spark plug misfires under load, especially if plugs are left beyond the service interval
  • Rattling turbo wastegate actuator linkage at idle on earlier engines
  • Cylinder-deactivation (ACT) versions: rough running or fault codes from the valve-lift actuators
  • DSG (DQ200 7-speed dry clutch) mechatronic faults and clutch judder on automatic cars

Fuse assignment varies by equipment level and production year. Always confirm with the label on the fuse box cover or the owner's manual.
