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.
