Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the VW AWT
The turbine often fails due to oil coking or a clogged catalyst.
The reason for the floating engine speed is usually air leakage somewhere in the intake
Ignition coils with built-in switches have a short service life
The controlled timing chain tensioner is not very reliable and may overshoot
Electrical failures often occur, mainly DMRV or DTOZH sensors are buggy
Destruction of the crankcase ventilation membrane leads to oiling of the internal combustion engine and leaks
The secondary air system throws up a lot of problems, but it is most often removed
