Disadvantages of the VW CJZB engine

  • There are also a lot of complaints about accelerated carbon formation on the intake valves.
  • Next comes the often sour and jamming rod of the turbine wastegate actuator.
  • After 100 thousand km, an expensive pump with two thermostats often already leaks.
  • The timing belt is designed for a mileage of approximately 120,000 km, and when it breaks, the valves bend.
