Disadvantages of the Volkswagen DLAC engine
- A durable turbo engine, but only with proper maintenance;
- Saving on maintenance quickly leads to stuck piston rings and oil consumption;
- The turbocharger itself is durable, but its wastegate actuator can stick as early as 100,000 km;
- 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.
