Disadvantages of the VW CFHC engine
- This is an updated version of diesels and most of the weaknesses of the series have already been eliminated.
- And if you do not save on fuel, then up to 200,000 km this unit does not cause trouble.
- It is important to monitor the condition of the timing belt, because when it breaks, the valves usually bend.
- It is worth noting regular problems with the EGR valve, it clogs very quickly.
- There are complaints about lubricant leaks, failures of the air flow sensor and particulate filter.
Can 5w40 oil cause worse lubrication or damage on this engine due to narrower oil canals than the previous PD ones? Could it have better lubrication under higher torque than 5w30?
