Disadvantages of the VW ALZ engine
- The most common problems are floating engine speeds and vibrations.
- To get rid of the unstable operation of the motor helps cleaning nozzles or throttle.
- Also, the reason may be the wear of the rubber seals on the intake manifold.
- In second place in popularity are failures in the operation of the crankcase ventilation system.
- Closer to 200,000 km, an oil burn often begins due to wear of rings or caps.
