CMTA Flaws, Breakdowns, and Problems
The engine is spared most of the childhood illnesses of the series and is considered reliable.
The main problems of the motor are associated with the formation of carbon deposits on the intake valves.
In the crankcase ventilation system, the membrane often fails and requires replacement
On runs of more than 200 km, timing chains often stretch and begin to rattle
The rising oil level and the smell of gasoline under the valve cover hints at a fuel injection pump leak
