Problems of the VW CAXA
- The most known problem is the stretching of the timing chain at low mileage.
- Also the electronic control valve or the westgate often fails in the turbine
- The pistons are less resistant to detonation and crack from bad fuel
- If the plates between the rings are destroyed, it is recommended to buy forged pistons.
- Left-handed gasoline causes deposits on the valves and leads to compression loss
- Owners regularly complain about antifreeze leaks and engine vibration when cold
