Engine Overview and Common Failures

Engine weight AQP according to the catalog is 175 kg. The engine number AQP is located on the front cover. First of all, Golfs and Boras with this engine are known for high fuel consumption. Over time, oil consumption also increases rapidly with mileage. The timing chain not only has a modest lifespan but is also very expensive to replace. Minor issues regularly bother here such as sensor malfunctions and ignition system problems. Owners often have to deal with oil and coolant leaks.
