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
