Disadvantages of the VW CLJA engine
This diesel engine is incredibly dependable and has already overcome the shortcomings of its predecessors;
There are electromagnetic injectors in place of erratic piezo injectors, and swirl flaps are absent;
The timing belt is intended to last 210 thousand kilometers, according to the regulations, but the valves bend when it breaks;
Here, oil leaks from beneath the plastic valve covers happen frequently;
A particulate filter or an EGR valve can cause significant problems at high mileage.
