Known weak points

  • AdBlue/SCR system faults: NOx sensors, AdBlue heater and pump failures with the no-restart countdown
  • EGR valve and cooler sooting up, leading to limp mode and emissions warnings
  • Water pump / thermostat housing (plastic) leaking coolant at the front of the engine
  • DSG (DQ250/DQ381) mechatronic faults, harsh shifting and oil leaks at the gearbox
  • Diesel particulate filter saturation on cars used mainly for short trips

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