Disadvantages of the VW CYRC engine
Although the units in this series have proven to be reliable, there aren’t many complaints about them; some owners on specialized forums express dissatisfaction over oil consumption from the first kilometers of operation; the timing chain resource in this area is extremely limited, typically ranging from 120 to 150 thousand kilometers;
A plastic pump housing and an adjustable oil pump are among its drawbacks.
