Disadvantages of the VW CAWB engine
The timing chain, which frequently extends up to 100,000 kilometers, is the subject of the majority of complaints here;
Large lubricant consumption brought on by a clogged oil separator comes in second;
When pistons are destroyed by detonation, it is helpful to replace them with forged ones;
The engine speed may start to float at idle due to soot on the intake valves;
The wedge of dampers in the intake is another factor contributing to the motor’s unstable operation;
The resource consumption of ignition coils is low, particularly if you don’t frequently replace candles.
