The thermoplastic composite housing warps or cracks from heat cycles. Oil leaks from the upper timing cover can also degrade the seals, leading to failure.

On 1.0 TSI, 1.2 TSI, 1.4 TSI, 1.5 TSI, and 1.6 TDI models fitted with the dry-clutch DQ200 DSG, mechatronic unit pressure accumulator failure and clutch pack glazing cause severe low-speed juddering and sudden gear loss.

The front and rear sunroof drain pipes can shrink, disconnect at the A-pillar and C-pillar junctions, or clog with dirt, flooding water into front passenger footwells and corroding body control module wiring.
