CCEA 2.8 FSI
A naturally aspirated V6 petrol with no turbo to fail and a chain at the back of the engine. It's smooth and thirsty, and the timing chain tensioners are the fault that turns it from a cheap car into an engine-out job.

Engine and component issues
Rough cold idle, slow throttle response, misfires, gradual loss of low-end response. Direct injection puts no fuel over the intake valves, so crankcase vapour deposits bake on undisturbed.
Check: Not visible without a borescope. Treat it as a service item that's due unless there's a receipt. It's not a fault, it's an unbudgeted maintenance cost.
Chassis, gearbox and body issues aren't listed here. They depend on which car the engine is fitted to. Open a variant page for the merged list.
