I was on msn.com and this is what it lists as #4
Lots of Audi and Volkswagen models wear a 2.0T badge on their hindquarters. It refers to a powerful 2.0-L turbocharged and direct-injected gasoline engine, one that can present a cluster headache for owners. Between the high-pressure fuel pump failures, short-lived ignition coils and the chronic carbon buildup, the cost of German parts and repairs can shock and awe.
The chain-driven TSI engines – model years 2009 and up with a “C” engine code – are reputed to be more reliable than the previous belt-driven 2.0T. But neglecting the lower timing-chain tensioner on the 2.0-L engine can result in catastrophic damage when the chain jumps the timing Some VW Tiguan owners have paid $10,000 for replacement engines. The fragile plastic water pump is another source of mechanical failure.
Audi and parent company Volkswagen had to settle a class-action lawsuit with owners of 2.0T-powered models that consumed motor oil at voracious rates. The lawsuit alleges 126,000 Audis have defects in their turbocharged engines that cause the vehicles to guzzle oil. The affected vehicles are the 2009-2010 Audi A4 and A5, and the 2011 Audi A4, A5 and Q5 sport utility with the engine code CAEB.
