BHZ/CDLA 2.0 TFSI (S3)
The S3's 265 PS 2.0 TFSI: the belt-driven EA113, not the chain EA888, so no tensioner problem. What it does share with the other direct-injection Audis is intake carbon and the cam-follower that drives the high-pressure fuel pump.

Engine and component issues
Low fuel-pressure limp mode, hesitation and an EPC light; if the follower wears through it wrecks the pump and scores the camshaft. The bucket follower between the intake camshaft and the high-pressure fuel-pump plunger wears and can perforate. It's a service item that's often overlooked on hard-driven cars.
Check: The follower is behind two bolts. A specialist can pull the pump and inspect it in minutes. Ask when it was last changed.
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.
