Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the VW CAXA
The most famous problem is the stretching of the timing chain even at low mileage.
Also, the electronic control valve or wastegate often fails in the turbine.
Pistons have poor knock resistance and crack from bad fuel
When the partitions between the rings are destroyed, we recommend buying forged pistons
From the left gasoline, carbon deposits form on the valves, which leads to a loss of compression
Owners regularly complain about antifreeze leaks and engine vibrations when cold.
