Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of AXG
Most often, owners on the forums complain about problems with high pressure fuel pumps or injectors
In second place in frequency is the ever-knocking vacuum pump and DMRV failures
Keep an eye on the cooling system, as the aluminum head is afraid of overheating
Every 100 thousand km, all belts and rollers need to be replaced, which is very expensive.
After 200 km, the variable geometry turbine often starts to drive oil
