Disadvantages of the VW CWVB engine
- Most often, car owners with this engine complain about high lubricant consumption;
- An oil level sensor is not provided here, so such motors often wedge;
- The camshaft oil seals are regularly squeezed out and the lubricant gets on the timing belt;
- Plastic pump with two thermostats does not last long, and replacement is expensive;
- Due to the design of the exhaust system, the engine is prone to vibrations in winter.
