Disadvantages of the VW CDAA engine
The most well-known issue with this motor is the oil burner because of rings.
The unreliable timing chain, which has a maximum length of 100,000 kilometers, comes in second.
Engine coking and floating speeds are caused by increased oil consumption.
You will probably need to replace the ignition coils if you pull with the candle replacement.
Another low resource is the high-pressure fuel pump, which starts passing gasoline into the oil.
