Disadvantages of the Volkswagen CYVA engine

- Like all direct-injection engines, it is prone to carbon deposits on the intake valves;
- The timing belt is replaced every 240,000 km, but if it breaks earlier the valves bend;
- The plastic coolant module (water pump with thermostats) often leaks after about 100,000 km.
