The seventh generation Golf, along with the Skoda Octavia and Audi A3, were equipped with the 1.2-liter turbocharged Volkswagen CJZA 1.2 TSI engine, which was put together between 2012 and 2015. The EURO 6 engine with the CYVB index swiftly replaced this power unit.

CWVA, CWVB, CJZA, CJZB, CHPA, CMBA, CXSA, CZCA, CZDA, CZEA, DJKA, DACA, and DADA are all part of the EA211 series.

Disadvantages of the VW CJZA engine
Oil consumption is a factor in the majority of these engines’ complaints.
Second, the intake valves have more carbon forming on them.
Additionally, it frequently turns sour before jamming the actuator rod of the turbine wastegate.
An expensive pump with two thermostats frequently begins to leak after 100,000 kilometers.
The network has a lot of videos showing powerful piston knocks at big runs.
