Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the VW AXP

This power unit is considered quite reliable, but it has a couple of weaknesses.

In winter, oil often squeezes out through the dipstick due to freezing of the crankcase ventilation

Also, grease often oozes from other places, especially from under the valve cover.

Replacing a set of timing belts is very expensive, and if it breaks, the valve bends here

On trifles, we note the constant contamination of the throttle, as well as the low resource of DTOZH
