Known Issues for This Vehicle
Timing chain tensioner failure
The timing chain tensioner in some 2016 Volkswagen engines may fail, leading to a loose timing chain, which can cause the engine to run poorly or not at all, and may result in significant engine damage.
Ignition coil failure
Faulty ignition coils can lead to misfires, rough idling, and difficulty starting the engine. This is a common issue in Volkswagen engines from this model year.
Coolant leaks
Some 2016 Volkswagen engines may experience coolant leaks due to failing water pumps or radiator components, which can lead to engine overheating and potential engine damage if not addressed.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection engines in Volkswagens are susceptible to carbon buildup on the intake valves, which can lead to reduced engine performance, rough idling, and increased emissions.
Oil consumption
Excessive oil consumption can be an issue in some 2016 Volkswagen engines, which may require more frequent oil changes and monitoring to prevent potential engine damage.
