Since 2014, the company has assembled the Volkswagen CZEA 1.4 TSI ACT 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, which is found in some versions of well-known models like the Golf, Passat, and Tiguan. The ACT system, which shuts off two cylinders at low loads, is highlighted by the motor.
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 CZEA engine
Uneven camshaft wear is caused by a costly and complex ACT system;
Owners of vehicles equipped with this type of power unit frequently voice complaints regarding the oil burner;
Additionally, the turbine’s wastegate actuator’s thrust frequently wedges before breaking off;
Every 60,000 kilometers, you should check the timing belt because if it breaks, the valves will bend. The plastic pump with two thermostats is prone to leaks and needs to be completely replaced.
