Disadvantages of the VW CJMA engine
This engine is thought to be very dependable, and its owners are rarely concerned about it;
The majority of motor issues are related to the unpredictability of the CR system with piezo injectors;
Lubricant or antifreeze leaks rank second in terms of the quantity of complaints;
The EGR valve and diesel particulate filter are frequently totally clogged closer to 250,000 kilometers;
They may already stretch out around the same run, necessitating a timing chain replacement.
