Disadvantages of the VW CBZA engine
The timing chain resource was between 30,000 and 50,000 kilometers during the initial years of production.
When stretched, a reinforced version of the chain that is approximately 100,000 kilometers long jumps.
The wastegate control drive and turbine geometry are not very reliable.
Many owners of vehicles with these motors report vibrations when the vehicle is at rest.
They frequently lament the lengthy warm-up during the winter months on specialized forums.
