Disadvantages of the VW CLCA engine
This is the most basic form of diesel, devoid of balance shafts and swirl flaps;
When properly maintained, the device can travel up to 500,000 kilometers without any issues;
The Bosch electromagnetic injector fuel system is dependable and innovative;
The oil separator membrane needs to be replaced frequently because it doesn’t last very long;
Additionally, the particulate filter and the EGR valve are frequently clogged (in those versions where they are).
