Disadvantages of the VW CGPA engine
- Most of the complaints in specialized forums fall on a very modest resource of the timing chain.
- Due to the poor design of the tensioner, the chain can jump by itself.
- Pretty quickly, nozzles become clogged here and ignition coils fail.
- The reason for the floating engine speed is usually a clogged crankcase ventilation or throttle.
- At high mileage, valves often burn out and compression in the cylinders drops.
