lets discuss 1.0 TSI engine...

Hi there!
thought id make another in this mini series! stay tuned for other types of engines and gearboxes etc... Lets discuss today the 1.0 TSI engine briefly and a couple of well known common problems.

hit that thumbs up if you like this sort of content so I know :)

Honestly, a lot of misinformation in this video. I work at VAG and the 1.0 TSI is honestly one of the most reliable engines VAG has produced in the last dozen of years. Its very economical and requires very little maintenance. The timing belt does not have a maintenance requirement, from 210.000 km’s the dealership will inspect the timing belt and in case of drying out it will need replacement. I’ve seen cars coming back from lease with close to 300.000 km’s and still having their original timing belt. Also, the reason it does not need replacing is because the timing belt solely runs the engine and things like the waterpump are located on the other side of the engine with their own timing belt, thus removing stress on both systems. Also the sound at startup is just a characteristic of the 1.0 TSI and other TSI engines and its partially due to the fact that the engine revs up while stationary with a cold engine in order to heat up the lambda sensor faster for environmental reasons. Also, I have never really heard of excessive oil use or oil use at all. It is possible off course but so is the case for any engine if not taken care of and being abused. Not warming up your engine and revving up while cold will cause basically any engine to start using oil over time. Also, officially oil changes are required every 30.000 km but basically any mechanic you speak to will advise to do so every year or 15.000 km. There is a reason why Toyota does so and its basically to keep your engine performing well, especially small high tech engines such as these.

An absolute gem of an engine. Very reliable.

Son in law has the 115hp 1.0 tsi. Serviced every year, not a single problem so far and now on 110K miles, owned for past 6 years.

I own a vw up tsi 2018, it has 57.700km. I never had a problema with the 1.0 tsi engine. my car is a stg2 (filter inbox, downpipe and tunned) with 130whp and 24nm of torque. 0-100 in about 7s

[synthwave]

I own this car - it is super performance and light on fuel - very reliable. This is the best car I have owned. Had 9 cars in 21 years.

[neolerades]

I have a 1.0 TSI 70 kW and 115, 000 km without a single problem. The oil was changed every 30, 000 km according to the manufacturer until 90, 000 km, since then I change it every 10, 000 km.
Oil consumption is minimal - there is always 0.3 l missing per oil interval of 10, 000 km, but I think it remains in the oil filter.

I had a 1.0 TSI polo 2019 and did 2 years of commuting to work. With this i was doing 2 hours on the motor each day and not a single issue! Very reliable engines!

My grandmother has a Škoda Fabia with this engine. Bought it brand new. Currently at 80k kms, almost 6 years and no problems with the car so far. She drives it on country roads, highways and city too. It runs fine in temperatures from +30C to -30C. Runs pretty much the same as new, really. I think this engine is great for a tiny car, but would be a bit weak for something like a Octavia.

[rakeshgoel]

km done no issues at all
Vw engines are very reliable if maintained well.

And the performance of 1.0 tsi is absolutely bonkers
0-100 in 8.5 seconds in sports mode
150km/hr is an absolute jike for this 1.0 tsi

Kudos to vw no wonder why it has been engine of the year in 2019.

EA 211 series engines, once you loosen the crankshaft webs, the lightweight aluminum open block with large cooling channels can distort. The manufacturer forbids reassembling such an engine. And even if it were allowed, the costs of reassembly are not exactly small - not only the gasket under the cylinder head and screws, but also a whole range of other parts must not be used repeatedly.

Exactly what I needed to know at the moment. I'm looking at a fault with my turbo actuator and the garage have quoted £260 for new. BTW 2021 VW 'Approved' T Roc owned 6 months with 12500 on clock. Not covered by warranty!

[amiltonfcjunior]

I own a VW Nivus EA211 TSi 1.0 liter turbo flex fuel (ethanol + gasoline) in Brazil, and I have nothing to complain about it. It is a little bit noisy as shown, but it is very powerful for its size and I've seen cars with almost 200 thousand kilometers on it running fine. The biggest problem I see is that people do remap and "stage 1/2/3" upgrades on them to output 200+ HP, which cause an enormous stress. Then they revert their modifications to sell as if it was original.

I own a 2018 Seat Ibiza with 1.0 TGI engine, as far as I know it is a TSI but the difference is that mine runs and has additional CNG fuel tank. Currently the car has 130 000 km, the timing belt was not touched since it left the factory. The manual says that the timing belt is able to survive 210 000 km, I wonder if I should already think about the replacement...

[toyotoe]

Hi Jim. Your video on fiesta timing belt replacement was brilliant. Thank you. Hope at some point you can post a 1.0 tsi t/belt and water pump change.

[piyushchandran]

hey great video, in india we have it in polo coupled with aisin aq250 tc gearbox, the engine produces 110 ps /175 nm of torque the only thing i notice as a flaw is you gotta keep topping up the engine oil after 4-5k km's the engine consumes oil.

[souvikbasumatary]

will we need to clean up the carbon on the intake valves in a periodic basis on these engines?

[VLKSJAGER]

What about carbon build up on the intake valves ? Any issues with that in the long term.

[generalismoquabablinotheth]

Hats off to the vw engineers mik8 soundproofing as I hardly hear mines

[CarOwner-uvgy]

Only lies, this engine is very good have no oil consumption, if you change oil regulary 0 issue. Very good fuel consumtion for this performance

[alfieburgess]

Mine has been spot on; I’ve modded the fuck out of it, should be running around 165-170 brake soon and it’s taking it fine, gets ragged every day and still mint
