Disadvantages of the VW CHPA engine
First, there is the oil burner issue, particularly with engines prior to 2013;
Following this, the wastegate actuator’s thrust breaks down as a result of souring-jamming; additionally, inexperienced artisans frequently harm the ignition coils when changing candles;
An expensive pump with two thermostats frequently leaks after 100,000 kilometers;
A lengthy warm-up and unnecessary noise-knocks are linked to the remaining complaints.
