Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of CXSA

The vast majority of owners' complaints are somehow related to the oil burner

Also, the service is often contacted because of the thrust wedge of the turbine wastegate actuator

Expensive plastic pump with two thermostats often leaks to 100 km

Another disadvantage is a long warm-up and extraneous noises and knocks.

According to the regulations, the timing belt is checked every 60 km, changed every 000 km
