Disadvantages of the VW CJZA engine

  • Most of the complaints about these engines are in one way or another related to oil consumption.
  • In second place there is an increased carbon formation on the intake valves.
  • It also often turns sour, and then jams the turbine wastegate actuator rod.
  • After 100,000 km, an expensive pump with two thermostats is often already leaking.
  • There are many videos on the network with strong knocks of pistons at significant runs.
