    Disadvantages of the VW CAVA engine

     Many engine problems are related to detonation due to the quality of the fuel consumed.
     Bad gasoline simply cracks pistons and many replace them with forged ones.
     The intake valves here quickly overgrow with soot and the compression in the cylinders drops.
     The timing chain has changed many modifications, but it rarely runs more than 100,000 km.
     The turbine often fails the electronic control valve, as well as its wastegate.
     The source of the coolant leak is most often located in the intercooler area.
