Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the internal combustion engine B48A20B
This motor appeared relatively recently and has not yet shown itself from a bad side.
In 2017, the timing design was modernized and now the chain does not quickly stretch
Often there are floating speeds due to a malfunction of the tank vent valve
Closer to 100 km, valve stem seals often tan and oil burns appear
At high mileage, failures occur in the phase regulators or the Valvetronic system
