Necessary clarification: this is a Gen3 TSI EA888 engine. It’s taken two generations full of malfunctioning parts to get here. Water pump, intake manifold flap mechanism, carbon build up issues resulting in injector failure, coil packs, and timing chain tensioner are just some of the parts that commonly fail.

Mooselover1011 agreed. I really wanna see a 2 stoke diesel with all the modern tech. Some of the recent advancements would negate its drawbacks. Emissions killed them.

I have the EA888 Gen 2 engine which is just variable timing on the intake. It is a powerful engine, on this revision a stage 1 tune which is 16psi of boost can hit around 190-200kw at the crank which is pretty impressive. The Gen 3 in this video can hit around 220-230kw with the same tune due to added variable exhaust timing. These engines are shared in many different VW's so it's really easy to get parts/diagnose things however it does have down falls. Lot of owners have reported oil consumption (which I've experienced myself 1L oil every 2000KM's or so), don't have very good fuel economy (I get "average" 12L/100KM, much higher in traffic). Because of direction injection and no port injection included, it will get a lot of carbon build up over time. Also this engine is very susceptible to heatsoak. Other common problems include leaking water pump from failure to properly install the gasket or oil leaking on top of the seal which causes it to swell. GTI is front wheel drive only, Golf R has the same engine with a bigger turbo and an AWD drivetrain. Gen 3 incorporated a plastic oil pan which can be damaged incredibly easy and costs around $500 from oem just for the part alone. Stock PSI for the turbo is 8PSI, Stage 1 for these engines doubles the boost from the turbo and improves driveability and performance dramatically. The GTI is a great car and so is this engine, however don't be shocked when maintenance costs are high :)

We definitely like our Gen 3 EA888 in our Jetta. Such a neat motor.

Love your videos! This was very informative.

Great video! :D I think the GTD looks a bit better with the more subtle twin exhaust tips to the side. Is the EA288 TDI engine award winning? I'd like a video on that!

Awesome! How about the VQ engines next? Numerous Wards awards for these.

Great video! But, you guys forgot to mention the ability to vary the turbocharger exhaust flow to optimize Boost pressure for low rpm and high rpm max torque. Maybe I'm wrong and this feature isn't as unique as I thought? Either way, the reason these engines develop such a high level of efficiency is because of the precise fuel, intake airflow and exhaust control. The intake and fuel systems are very well covered here.

I'd love to see you make these video's about some older engines as well. Like the indestructible Saab B204, or the in the rallycross very popular GM C20LET/C20XE!

Up to my 3rd VW now, absolutely love it... Never had more than a flat battery as far as problems are concerned. My 2015 Golf R is a hell of a lot of fun, great steering feedback for a car with electric steering and performance better than most cars on the road! How many of the people complaining about reliability have actually owned and lived with one?? Or have looked after the car properly?? Part of owning a car means following the service schedule and not skimping when it comes to maintenance... I'm a big believer in "you look after your car, it will look after you"... So many people complain about parts and servicing being expensive or whatever, I say so what? When you buy a car, you do your research and should factor in those costs from the beginning. You really wonder why the car breaks when you don't look after it??

Comment from Singapore. My VW Passat 1.8 has dual injection (i.e. GDI + PFI). Stripped the cover off (let the engine cool first for good measure) and peer into the intake manifold and I see a high pressure fuel rail (stainless steel) feeding the GDI injectors and another low pressure fuel rail (normal steel) feeding the port fuel injectors. From what I read, the PFI is really for optimising the low load/idling fuel economy of the vehicle (not sure about that, some comments on this welcomed).

have that engine in my S1. used to do a weak job stock (in this car! in the GTI it's great) due to weight and AWD... yet torque delivery from 2100rpm is great. also great for tuning. mine runs at 380hp :D

I have a Stage II Volkswagen MK7 GTI with about 73k miles on it and it has treated me perfectly! Amazing cars!

Thanks for taking your time and making these videos ,

I started with a 96 Hyundai accent, a 97 geo metro, 98 2.0 gti, 98 2.0 Golf, a 2000 Jetta GLI, 2014 GLI, 2013 Tiguan, and a 2016 Golf R. My first vw was an auto, and it's been a manual gearbox for me until the golf r. I've definitely had issues with some older cars, but they were neglected maintenance. I've only owned one car brand new, and that was the 14 gli, the rest were all used. Regular maintenance is your friend. The DSG gearbox requires a $200 flush every 40k as well. Not to mention if you are AWD, you have 30k haldex fluid flushes as well. You gotta pay to play. You will be rewarded in the end, these are great cars. Most of my vehicles are all variations of the ea888 2.0t.

I'm not 100% sure about those engines but with new 1.5 Evo engine VW has highest fuel pressure currently on the market 35MPa/350bar.

I´d love to see the same video about the EA113 Engines with the CDL motorcodes. (2.0 TFSI/TSI of the older generation)

Having a 2.0 TSI EA888 gen3 in stock leon cupra 280 : 1) zero problems after 53k km 2) zero oil consumption 3) so much power and torque 4) so much fun 5) average 9-10 l/100km fuel consumption (according to driving style, I do a lot of city driving)

Nice video. Does direct injectors affect the valve performance on long run ? They better have port injectors with them, for cleaning valves.

Rafi Syed - wrong! My Mk5 has the same engine. They started producing them in late 2008 and still use the 2.0 TSI still to this day in the Mk7. It’s such an amazing and reliable engine that they’ve just kept updating the one from my original 2009 Mk5 GTI.

First mod: a catch can on the return from the PCV into the intake to get that oily air cleaner since it's DI and has no fuel wash on the back of the intake valves. Or install water-methanol injection; that'll not only clean the valves, it'll also steam-clean the combustion chamber, raise octane, and just keep everything cooler, safer, and happier.

I’ve had my GTI for months now. I don’t know how I haven’t seen this video before!

Wow I have one of these apart in my garage... timing chain at 100k. I have run timing belts longer..

You should have made a complete research and explain the problems that plague the earlier years versions like oil consumption and timing chain failure . I am looking for an 1.8 TSI for some time but there is a lot of ones with rough running, valve problems, one cylinder not firing and so on ...

bbogdanmircea luckily VW solved this. The current 2.0 engines dont have these problems. There will also be a new 1.5 TSI coming soon. (For the polo)

I KNEW this motor had some sort of "VTEC" in it. Today on the way to work I was wide open throttle and at right around 5000 RPM it had an additional kick. Interesting idea with the cam lobe. Hope it never breaks 😬

I know this was posted a long time ago, but it's hella helpful. And also well done.

210bhp to 300whp with a downpipe and tune, on a stock turbo, is pretty good

@@killer_vette351 Yeah it’s more like 210 WHP. I find that with lots of the “great tuner engines” that people claim to be able to make 100+ more hp with only a tune they’re all underrated from factory. Still good for tuning, but the +135 hp that APR and other companies quote on their websites are inaccurate since they compare stock WHP with tuned crank hp.

The new 1.5 TSI that the facelift golf has today it derived from the EA888? Or its a new design?

andrew7720 The design can only change so much, in the end it is: quality of incoming air, quality of combustion chamber, type/design injector(s), quality of 4 stroke scavenging and exhaust removal. It is just 4 fireboxes in a row, so my Ford is truly the same thing but more reliable & cheaper to fix.

That VW engine is a clever piece of engineering, so too is the Ford 1ltr Ecoboost. Not a lot of absolute power I know but with 125bhp/ltr it has a high specific power and it's all done with economy as well. Worth a visit if it's available in the US.

Fantastic. Loved it. BMW N52/N52K, would you please assemble a video on these/this engine? I have both and find them rugged, smooth, and spirited.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, you must not own one that fast then. 500 hp from 2.0L is insane. It would literally rip the cylinder walls apart from inside after several thousand km. Also, the rings would bleed oil as fast as you can put it in. Don't overestimate VW's material selection. I agree it can hold boost but not over 25 psi. The rings would literally blow down into the crank. Hilarious that you think you can add ~300 hp to a stock mass production engine though. Made my day.
