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

Engine DPCA commonly faces issues such as carbon buildup on intake valves due to direct injection, leading to rough idling and reduced performance. Diagnosis involves checking for misfires, loss of power, and performing a compression test or using a borescope to inspect valves. Prevention includes using high-quality fuel, regular oil changes, and periodic intake cleaning. Solutions often require walnut shell blasting to remove carbon deposits or intake manifold cleaning. Additionally, ensure the PCV system is functioning properly to avoid excessive oil vapor buildup. Timely software updates from manufacturers can also improve engine management and reliability in these Audi and Cupra models.
