Disadvantages of the VW CGGB engine
- Compared to VAG turbo engines, this engine is much more reliable.
- Most often, owners complain about the quick failure of the ignition coils.
- The cause of floating engine speeds is usually a dirty throttle assembly or EGR.
- Timing belts serve approximately 90,000 km, and if any of them breaks, the valves bend.
- On long runs, hydraulic lifters often knock, and rings also lie.
Dear Sir,
Could you please send me the maintenance schedule and preventive maitenance of this engine. Do you recommend to clean the fuel injectors given that I add to the reservoir a fuel injector cleaner as additive.
Thanks
