Disadvantages of the VW BAG engine
- This engine is considered capricious and also difficult to diagnose and repair.
- Intake valves, throttle assembly, EGR valve are quickly overgrown with soot here.
- The extremely short-lived timing chain here can jump after parking in gear.
- A modest resource has a phase regulator, ignition coils and a nitrogen oxide sensor.
- After 100,000 km of run, rings often already lie down and oil consumption appears.
