Disadvantages of the VW CGGA engine

  • Compared to turbocharged counterparts, this engine is considered quite reliable.
  • Ignition coils serve little here, the throttle and EGR valve are often dirty.
  • Due to a clogged oil receiver and wear of the oil pump, hydraulic lifters knock.
  • If you miss the replacement of any of the two timing belts, then when they break, the valves will bend.
  • The first years of production quite often changed the exhaust manifold under warranty.
