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.
Where I can find the egr valve on this engine? (CGGA) Some have said that this doesn’t have egr. If there are, is there any way possible to tell where it is?
