I have a 2008 VW Scirocco 2.0TSi GT with 114, 000 miles, I've owned it for about 4 years, no problems at all with the engine, apart from replacing a couple of ignition coils 2 years ago, zero hassle - and that's a 16 year old car. So folks, if a car hasn't been abused and has a good history they are as reliable as any engine - don't be put off 2.0TSi completely.

Me going, check, check, check, check on every issue 🤣. We've been through all of them with my 185K miles Gti, except the timing chain tensioner which I replaced as soon as I learned about that issue.

Thank you for the video. I have a 2018 Passat with 42K, I'm the original owner and haven't had any issues. I think it's a wonderful engine. My Passat on a long trip will get 40 MPG and with mixed driving 35MPG. When you enter a highway it had plenty of power. I had an engine light warning me about the oil separator and VW changed it right away.

The timing chain tensioner failure is all over the various VAG brand forums, and the fix was implemented some years ago now. One big positive about these EA888 engines is that they are strong. You can tune them without much fear 9f premature failure, unlike the more recent 1.5 TSI engines that have slowly been introduced across vag.

Im doing my rear main seal tomorrow on my 2021 passat 150k miles purchased brand new definitely going to be check pcv thank you for the info. I just did water pump and a week later rear main went out lol but man its been an amazing car did intake/ injector cleaning and spark plugs every 50k trans fluid every 60k and cant complain to much. Been pretty reliable

I was just doing research on VW turbo 2.0 turbo motor before I bought. That just ended. Next. THX for making the vid

[hivepixels]

They ( VAG ) have updated the timing chain tension for a better designed on. Do you know exactly when they did it ? I'd like to know from what month/year was the release

[a.k.mukherjee]

It's a very informative and serious video.

I have a 2024 volkswagen atlas with that same engine ...So far it was 5k miles . Thanks for the information Brotha !!! Youve got a new subscriber

[jasminewallace]

Thank you sir, was just about to purchase a 2013 CC with 123k, thought I got lucky. Sheesh 🙄 I know the saying is thanks a million, but I'll say thanks $6000 plus tax and registration 😂

[LyubomirStoychev]

Thank you very much for the good information. I am about to order a Skoda superb 2023 and I am really split between TDI 2.0 200 hp and TSI 2.0 280hp (which should be the EA888 evo4) - Aren't these 280 hp too much for the longevity of a 2.0 engine? Would I expect the chain tensioner issue be fixed on that model?

I have a 2014 vw cc, i am having a problem where my oil was leaking from on top of the engine, took to shop and oil is mixing with coolant. Head gasket seems to be fine so im not too sure what the problem could be? Any suggestions or advice please lmk! Super headache

[qintang]

I am looking for a mid SUV such as VW Atlas that equips a TSI engine, just wanna know it is reliable or not and what I should take care of for it?

[frankadis]

I have a 2018 vw beetle tsi turbo with a p19a2 code. It is described as a faulty transmission thermostat. Can you please help me try to troubleshoot this code, locate where the thermostat is located. Thanks in advance.

Everything you said is true. I have a 2012 VW Beetle turbo. I am on my 5th manifold since I purchased the car brand new in 2013. The last two manifolds lasted only 6 months. I replaced the PCV valve and had carbon build up cleaned from the engine. My question to you is the car had 112k miles timing belt chain tensioner is original. Should I get this replaced now?

[RODRIGOGAMBOA-jntr]

Hello, will the Atlas with the 2.0 TSI 2024 be a good purchase option? What faults could it have? The atlas has just arrived in Peru, produced in the USA

[Owenage]

Hi
If my 2.0 TSI sucks in air when I unscrew the cap (it sucks in the oil filler cap), then the oil separator needs to be replaced, right?

[itdatanow]

You are outstanding ! Perfection sir! Thank you

[drewblum]

Thanks so much for the video! I’ve got a 2012 Tiguan with 130k miles with an oil leak and my shop is recommending I replace the cylinder cover. Could you help advise what parts I should buy and supply so they can do this fix? Thank you!

[leo]

Any interval for pcv replacement. My 2015 q5 75k miles runs well. No suction f try I’m the hole. But I fell suction when pulling oil cap. Is it normal?
