Disadvantages of the VW AXP engine
- This power unit is considered quite reliable, but it has a couple of weaknesses.
- In winter, oil often squeezes out through the dipstick due to freezing of the crankcase ventilation.
- Also, grease often oozes from other places, especially from under the valve cover.
- Replacing a set of timing belts is very expensive, and when they break, the valves bend here.
- On trifles, we note the constant contamination of the throttle, as well as the low resource of the coolant temperature sensor.
