Disadvantages of the VW BUD engine

  • This engine is considered average in terms of reliability and, moreover, it is quite noisy.
  • The main causes of floating engine speeds are throttle or EGR contamination.
  • Due to poor design, the oil receiver is often clogged, which is dangerous for the engine.
  • Timing belts have a low resource, and the valves bend when at least one of them breaks.
  • Also, the network complains about oil leaks and quick failure of ignition coils.
