Disadvantages of the VW CXSA engine
The oil burner is a factor in the great majority of owners’ complaints;
Additionally, the turbine wastegate actuator’s thrust wedge frequently contacts service stations;
A costly plastic pump with two thermostats frequently leaks up to 100,000 kilometers;
A lengthy warm-up and unnecessary knocks and noises are further drawbacks;
Regulations state that the timing belt must be inspected every 60,000 kilometers and replaced every 120,000 kilometers.
