Disadvantages of the VW CHHB engine
Although the oil burner issue in this generation of engines is not particularly severe, there are still a lot of complaints;
The only way to totally eliminate lubricant consumption is to replace pistons with forged ones.
A decrease in oil pump performance is linked to significantly more breakdowns;
Reduced lubrication pressure causes camshafts and liners to wear down quickly;
The turbine pressure regulator needs to be adjusted every 50,000 kilometers;
The timing chain may stretch and the pump and phase regulators may fail up to 100,000 kilometers.
