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

Engine CRBD, found in the Audi A3 2.0 TDI (100kW) from 2013–2016, commonly faces EGR valve clogging and diesel particulate filter (DPF) blockages. Diagnosis involves checking for fault codes related to EGR and DPF, and monitoring for loss of power or increased fuel consumption. Preventive measures include regular use of quality fuel, timely oil changes, and periodic long drives to help regenerate the DPF. Solutions often require cleaning or replacing the EGR valve and performing a forced DPF regeneration or replacement if severely clogged. Addressing turbocharger issues early by inspecting boost pressure can also prevent costly repairs.
