VW ARM engine
Content
The 1.6-liter 8-valve Volkswagen 1.6 ARM engine was produced from 1999 to 2000 and was installed on only two models: the Audi A4 in the back of the B5, and the VW Passat B5 that was also co-platformed to it. This is a Euro 3 unit with a mechanical throttle drive, a conventional DMRV and no EGR valve.

Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the internal combustion engine ARM
This is a very reliable and resource unit, and breakdowns occur at high mileage.
The culprit for the drop in power is the fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator
Also, the cause of unstable operation may be air leaks or DMRV failures.
The mechanism for changing the geometry in the intake differs in low reliability here.
After 200 km, the engine begins to consume oil due to wear on the rings and caps
