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

Engine CAXC commonly faces issues with carbon buildup on intake valves due to direct injection, causing rough idling and reduced performance. Diagnosis involves checking for misfires and performing a compression test. Prevention includes using high-quality fuel and regular intake cleaning, such as walnut blasting. The timing chain tensioner may wear prematurely, leading to rattling noises; timely replacement prevents severe engine damage. Turbocharger wastegate rattle can occur; inspecting and replacing the actuator or turbo may be necessary. Regular oil changes with manufacturer-recommended synthetic oil help maintain engine longevity. Addressing these issues early ensures reliability and optimal performance in the listed Audi and Seat models.
