Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of VW BSF

This is a simple and reliable engine and it does not cause big problems to the owners.

The reason for floating speed is a clogged fuel pump screen and air leaks

Also, cracks in the ignition coil and oxidation of its contacts are often found here.

Carefully monitor the condition of the timing belt, as when it breaks, the valve bends

On long runs, the engine often consumes oil due to wear of rings and caps.
