Disadvantages of the VW BJK engine

  • The CR Bosch fuel system with piezo injectors is demanding on fuel quality;
  • Saving on oil here greatly reduces the life of the turbine and hydraulic lifters;
  • The motor is rather cold, in winter water condensate often freezes in the engine breather;
  • Monitor the condition of the timing belt, or if it breaks in the engine, the valves will bend;
  • Also, antifreeze leaks along the flanges and grease from the seals are very common.
