Disadvantages of the VW CXSA engine
- The vast majority of owners’ complaints are somehow related to the oil burner;
- Also, service stations are often contacted because of the thrust wedge of the turbine wastegate actuator;
- Expensive plastic pump with two thermostats often leaks to 100,000 km;
- Another disadvantage is a long warm-up and extraneous noises and knocks;
