Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the AEB engine.
Engine AEB commonly faces issues with oil sludge buildup due to insufficient maintenance, leading to turbocharger and timing chain wear. Diagnosis includes checking for oil leaks, unusual noises, and performance drops. Preventive measures involve regular oil changes with high-quality synthetic oil and timely replacement of the timing belt and water pump every 60,000-90,000 km. Turbocharger failures can be mitigated by allowing the engine to idle briefly before shutdown to cool the turbo. Carbon buildup on intake valves may require periodic cleaning. Addressing these proactively ensures longevity and reliable performance in Audi A4, A6, and VW Passat models using the AEB engine.
