Ignition Coils:
Known for premature failure of ignition coils, leading to misfires.
Thermostat Housing:
Plastic thermostat housings can develop cracks and leak coolant.
Pcv Valve:
Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve failures can cause rough idling and oil consumption.
Cam Follower:
In early 2.0 TFSI engines (like the EA113), the cam follower for the high-pressure fuel pump can wear prematurely, leading to fuel delivery issues.
