Disadvantages of the VW ADY engine
- A simple and fairly reliable power unit rarely worries its owners;
- Most of the breakdowns here are due to failures of the components of the ignition system;
- In electrical terms, the crankshaft position sensor and the coolant temperature sensor, as well as the idle speed controller, are most often buggy;
- The timing belt is designed for approximately 90,000 km, and if it breaks, it can bend the valves;
- After 250 – 300 thousand kilometers, an oil burn often begins due to the occurrence of rings.
