Disadvantages of the VW AGG engine
- A worthy heir to the 2E motor is also reliable and rarely worries its owners;
- Most engine problems are caused by malfunctioning ignition system components;
- The remaining breakdowns are usually related to the electrician, the crankshaft position sensor, the coolant temperature sensor and the idle speed controller are buggy here;
- The timing belt serves about 90,000 km, but when it breaks, the valves almost never bend;
- Closer to 250,000 km of run, rings often already lie down and oil consumption appears.
