Most common problems, symptoms & fixes for the CANB engine.

Engine CANB commonly faces issues like EGR valve clogging, turbocharger wear, and DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) blockages in the Audi A6 2.7 TDI models (2008–2011). For diagnosis, use a diagnostic scanner to check for error codes related to EGR and turbo performance. Preventive measures include regular oil changes with quality oil, timely DPF regeneration drives, and using fuel additives to keep injectors clean. Solutions involve cleaning or replacing the EGR valve, servicing or replacing the turbocharger if worn, and performing forced DPF regeneration or replacement if blocked. Regular maintenance is key to avoiding costly repairs.
