Disadvantages of the VW CHHB engine
- In this generation of engines, the oil burner problem is not acute, but there are still many complaints;
- Only replacing pistons with forged ones will help to completely get rid of lubricant consumption;
- Much more breakdowns are associated with a drop in oil pump performance;
- Reduced lubrication pressure leads to rapid wear of camshafts and liners;
- Every 50,000 km it is required to adapt the turbine pressure regulator;
- Up to 100,000 km, the pump, phase regulators can fail and the timing chain can stretch.

Hi El
I cannot find the CNTC engine within your list, I assumed that is very similar to the CHHB one. The CNTC is the engine mounted on my A3 2017 and I am doing a research on how that differ from the S3 DJHA or equivalent, regarding components and materials.
My final goal is to swap some components so I can get more power.
Thx for your work
