Disadvantages of the VW CAWA engine
This motor’s weak point is the timing chain, which has already been stretched to 100,000 kilometers; the oil separator clogs quickly here, causing lubricant consumption; piston cracking from detonation is common, but forged alternatives are available;
Carbon deposits on the intake valves are typically the cause of floating engine speeds; they also become overgrown with soot, which causes the intake manifold’s swirl flaps to jam; if you pull for an extended period of time while replacing candles, you will need to purchase ignition coils.
