Bit early to conclude that Marc, given all the key parts are different, although given the latest news is that stop/start is a key contributor that may still be the case.

It uses an atmospheric BOV anyway, which is illegal in Aus AFAIK.

I'm not impressed by the hybrids at all I wouldn't go down this path myself. I'd just be waiting for a Garrett drop in or similar something properly designed not a mismatch
BOV doesn't matter just put a recirculating one on there.

Uses the same frame prop shaft etc, would be enough to assume it would suffer issues of the same sort or Audi would have adopted some same sort of design. Not even Audi have fixed the issue yet.
