VW Engine Failure 87K 2015 1.8T TSI Disassembly
This is the teardown of my failed EA888 1.8T Generation 3 revised design for the 2015 Golf to find the route cause of failure at 87K miles. In the video I mentioned 79K which is incorrect, slip of the mind.

This video was made to chronicle my experience with a 2015 Certified Pre-Owned VW Golf 1.8 TSI Launch Edition that experienced premature engine failure at 87000 miles.

Prius C Oil Change and 90,000 mile service DIY
Filling up the oil filter is a messy waste of time. Don't forget to clean the hybrid battery cool system.
Four years ago had a misfire while driving. thought i could make it home from work. it stopped turning over when i tried to leave the job. battery was good. after taking off the head, the intake valve was broken into three pieces and the valve seat crushed into the head. this was due to the valve spring braking allowing the valve to fall into the cylinder. the valve gouged the cylinder wall and cracked the number four piston. this is a rare failure but found a few forums of VW owners who also experienced this issue on the 1.8 tsi gen 3 as well.
Thanks man! I got done stripping the engine earlier today and will be splitting it tomorrow afternoon !! This was highly helpful!
I have had car with 1.8 tsi. Never again tsi from VW.
Thanks! Clear and concise..... made my job easier.
I’ve been using this for years but just for trim
I’m confused as to why he hammered on the filter after tightening it.
Where i can hookup 12v positive connection for relay?
U don’t need an alignment shop to do a toe alignment on the rear, you can’t adjust camber so just measure the rear toe and get the wheels straight
Hit the nuckle with the hammer son
Hi brother,how to off the sound lock /unlock for Toyota aqua?thanks
Hi i have a 2014 aqua, seems systems are similar. Is it possible to change the radiator coolant without changing the inverter coolant. Are they the same liquid?
I have a 2016 VW Golf MK7 1.8t manual that is getting close to nine years old that has had zero failures so far while running a stage one tune too. No oil usage and even the stock clutch is holding the increased power. I bought the car new for $17,830 including tax and license, so if it blew up today I still made out very well.
I have the same year car but automatic. Almost at 199K for mileage. How many miles?
I'm curious if the new gens have that bolt for to strap?
What size are your seats?
I have the same engine in my A3 8v1, recently it started smoking and using a lot of oil and fuel, what could be the problem?
Very helpful
how smart ya gotta be to put a pin in the engine stand so the motor doesn't keep spinning when he was trying to break head bolts loose. then using a screwdriver to pry apart the cam carriers from head then again prying the head off block. smh
Great job
Bad work!!!!!!!
I'd like to see a better closeup on how the coolant lines to the intake are attached and routed.
I know this video is 3y old but I have these for my 350z and neither seats slide, would it be binding? And would prying it like you did on the brackets possibly fix my issue?
If it's binding, more than likely there is a slight alignment issue with the tracks and the base of the seat. Try loosening the bolts to the floor and shift the seat back and forth then left and right. See if you can move it then by sitting. Tighten the bolts again and it should be fine.
Really struggling with those rod bolts 😅 I find it easier to break the bolts if you pull towards yourself so you can brace the engine against your body. Especially when on an engine stand with wheels.
You are a life saver, thank you! 😊
Any updates on your oil consumption?
I started using a high mileage synthetic at 80k, seems the consumption has slowed significantly; mobil1 extended performance high mileage 0-20. I have been using the full 5 quart bottle each time and the dipstick is a hair over full but when I go to drain it's barely below the top line.
My 2024 has a lifetime warranty, but you have to go to the dealer for oil changes or it’s void of the warranty.
Thank you for the video! FYI it is possible to drain and refill both the engine and inverter coolant without removing plastic underbody panels. I don’t think I had to remove any undercarriage plastic bits. Tried to remove one but one bolt head was very rusted so I just reached from the bottom/top of the car to do it all. It took a bit of contorting and I had to wiggle the engine drain petcock to get it unstuck after 10 years of Ohio winters, but I got it open after some twisting and pulling. I was confused why the engine coolant wasn't draining at first until i realized I didn't open the pressurized metal coolant cap. Instead of removing the coolant reservoir hose, I used a hand pump to empty the reservoir. The coolant I used was Walmart Super Tech OE Red Antifreeze Prediluted 50/50, $11.83/gallon.
thanks man. I was about to take the vice grips to mine and pull with both arms but I decided to read comments and see what I could find. After removing the metal pin, I was pulling it with at least 50 pounds of force and it just would NOT come out. So I did about 10 minutes of little twists and wiggles because I could feel it was very stiff but loosening up nicely. Eventually it just popped right out like a cork on its own and started draining!.
@@SidicasGlad I could help! I was definitely tempted to channel My frustration into it, but I'm glad I resisted and avoided causing a worse problem. Hopefully the next time we have to do it it will be a little bit easier. It reminds me of my recent wisdom tooth removal experience, actually..
Video started great you were describing what you were doing then ya just went into a montage of removal and 80’s porn music. I don’t know what I’m doing brother lol need the description and any helpful hints along the way
Is it still up for tighter and down for looser on the other side of the car? Great vid, btw. Straight to the point and no BS.
Just did a 2016 FR-S and it was the same on both sides - up for tighten down to loosen
Plastic, plastic and more plastic. Therein lies the problem - bean-counter engineering.
Great video! Suggestion... Clean the oil filter tray before removing the oil filter. I wont open the oil filter debate.... but stock will always be better.
Salut pour caler le clage est ce que les piston sont aligner ou bien j'ai problème avec le vilebrequin
I WONDER CAN VAG GROUP DONT RE-ENGINEER THE ENGINES LIKE BEFORE ? All the tsi, tfsi , fsi crap ?
Im going to be doing this install soon, pretty straightforward but how far do you need to jack the hub before torquing the bolts back on?
Thank you for the video. I’m having the same issue but it’s cylinders 2 and 3. But I’m at 300k on my 2016 tsi golf
My 1.8 tsi just lost compression in two cylinders at 182k had absolutely no issues with this car but a o2 sensor. Very sad. Is it worth a rebuild or just throw another engine in it with less then 100k
What size crush washer for the oil drain plug? 17mm? 16mm?

To purge the ICE part there is a tap at the radiator level...
Change the oil on time, and you will have no engine failures. I have a passat with the same engine with 174000 miles, and it runs perfec.
There are 2 different Subaru oil filters. The black one that ships on the car from the factory is extremely high quality, but are only in Japan. The Subaru filters in America are blue and are very cheaply made. A lot of Subaru people will import the Japanese filters for this reason.
Why can Volkswagen produce such low quality products. It should be illegal. @Volkswagon
Sir this the same exact story that happened to me. Should I get another engine?
What is the bushing for
Do you have to put a new crush washer on everytime? On my 09 impreza i reused the same washer for years tbh
Thank you for some helpful content. Last time I sent the car to the shop around 100,000 for the transmission fluid chance and it was like $275 dollars. I’m going to do this myself . Anyone here did it and got good results? I’m always scared of damaging the transmission by changing the fluid.
Is that a viable tow strap location and also do you know the torque spec of that bolt for the tow strap?
Did you change the crush washer for transmission fill and drain plug?
how do you know which generation of the 1.8tsi engine you have? is there a VIN on it?
