Pro-Tip for anyone replacing their own water pump on these engines: After pump installation is complete, run a bead of RTV along the top edge of the pump where it mates to the block. The bead of RTV will act as a barrier to prevent any potential oil from leaking into the oil pump seals and eventually causing water pump seal failure. Regular RTV is very resistant to gas and oil, so it works great to property those water pump seals.
Such a great tip!
What is RTV?
@@MrSonicAdvanceit essentially is a gasket maker/sealant.
Knew about water pump and cracking, but, now I know how this takes place, nice to know you can get a water pump that is not plastic.
Paul- thanks for this video. Please do a cam cover reseal video!
My 2013 Beetle 2.0 TSI also had oil seeping from the valve cover gasket. It would have cost $900+ at the dealership to have it replaced. Thankfully, it was covered under an extended warranty that I purchased with the car.
great vid. i live by the philosophy to fix anything the second it breaks.
so could you maybe save the water pump if you check the front edge of that valve cover gasket every few weeks, and wipe it clean? tons of VW gaskets seep normally in my opinion.
Last Human , you don't even wait for it to break ! You just change it for kicks . Just busting your balls . You have a great channel also .
@@kenj.8897 hahah very true... i change things too much... but.. at least i dont change my oil every 1000 miles anymore... that was back when i had money..
These vids are top notch. cheers dude.
👌🏾 im actually in the process of installing that pump...along with intake manifold & de-carb. Do it all while there's room!
I was hoping you could send some info my way for guides etc. you found useful? looking into doing it all on mine as well. Thanks!
@@iaingedrose9960I did this on an A4 2.0. I used a combination of UA-cam & a downloaded manual, pretty big file, to complete the job. I bought my walnut blaster kit from bavauto, but I think they are at ecstuning.com now. Shop dap has the adapter piece for the blaster to intake, 034-108-Z054.
@@jaykayem awesome thanks for the info. Slightly scared to blast it was planning on a more painstaking manual approach but we will see, that adaptor is huge. Out of curiosity was your pump failure caused by an oil leak? And if so did you fix that as well?
@@iaingedrose9960 I don't remember if I had a leak or not. I was going in there for the intake manifold. I figured if I would have the space of no intake, I may as well upgrade known failure points & have peace of mind.
Paul, this was very helpful! Thank you! If my valve covers been slightly leaking for about a year, what are the chances that I already need my water pump to be replaced? How reliable are these aluminum water pumps in a long run (60K miles+)?
Same thing that happened to my 2010 GTI (62k miles) around a year ago. Never saw the car leaking or burning oil so I imagine it slooooowly leaked out over the years. First mechanical failure That car had in 8 years of ownership (knocks hard on wood).
SteadyAimRay Same lmfao, i think all these engines will have to have that valve cover seal replaced, if you think about it all it takes is a mechanic or person attempting to heavy clean the gap where the sealant is slowly eating away as more is forced out. I just leave all the dust bits in there dont evn touch it lol
same same same. slow leak for years. finally killed the water pump. 47k
Interesting! My water pump died and when the mechanic replaced it, he noticed the oil leak. I still haven’t fixed it but this might be the reason why the pump died initially.
Man these videos are GOLD. Thumbs up!
He’s right some times you can’t see leaks but you can smell them always check
Hey! Really enjoying your DAP series on VW's, especially now that I am considering buying an Mk5 or Mk6. I've had an Mk2 for 12 years now. Also had Mk3's and Mk4's... and that's probably why I quitted from VW's. LOL. Now, seeing how good the new Mk7s are performing, I feel safer going back. My budget doesn't reach for a Mk7, but could you please talk about the differences between the engines in the Mk5/6/7 !? From what I've read so far, Mk6s are no good for building power. Could you elaborate? Should I go Mk5 or Mk6? Mk5s are CHEAP nowadays! Just want a good daily driver and achieving around 350hp would be perfect. Keep the videos coming! Thanks!
Very smart information!
Had the same leak on a 2016 GTI with 45K. Got it fixed right away under warranty, hope not see it pop up again. Why do you think these valve cover leaks are such a common occurrence? Thanks, Keep the quality vids coming!
Did you ever investigate the oil leak in this video, like you mentioned? I would like to know what you found, as my '09 CC has a leak accumulating in the same manner. (the inside of the bellhousing is dry.).
I have a 2012 and a 2010 Tiguan. Just paid for this water pump job and a de-carbon of the intake valves at 120k on the 2012. The 2010 is at 70k, and has a massive oil leak at the HPFP seal, and needs it's second de-carbon in three years.
Excellent videos, I know that your info isn't a bunch of BS. Lots of that out there. Working on a 2010 Tiguan with the 09M trans. Can't seem to find the TCM-NOT behind fender liner. Have PO721 code, believe I have a wiring issue ,but would like to meter wiring before cutting into plug
Can you list most common ea113 FSI 2.0 items?
I have a BWT B7 (manual quattro).
I'm converting the follower to TSI with iABED.
Going to make sure I have the updated oil pickup.
Heard about balance shafts seizing, thoughts?
Water pump and timing belt done.
Any other catastrophics? Chain tensioner?
Also going stage 3 with GIAC as it already has the k04 and I popped new Golf R injectors in a few months back.
Hi, just found your channel and that light bar caught my eye cause I've been looking for one like that. Where did you get it at? What brand is that one?
Need some help. Yall seem to be the only helpful VW channel. I have a 2020 Tiguan that needs more torque badly. I don't care too much about top end speed. Just more torque and no lag for cruising around town and running errands. Would like to hear some turbo noise and get more low end torque. What would you suggest? Tune, intercooler, down pipe? Maybe just like a stage 1.
Do you work on the tdi version of the Jetta ?
5 years in my golf7 1.4tsi (90kW) with no problems. Even through 45°c heat this summer in Australia, it never gets hot.
113 F, That's pretty damn hot.
I have a 13 cc rline with 150k and it’s drinking a quart of oil 100 miles. No trace of oil leaks on the motor or drive way. but I’ve recognized black smoke from tail pipe at normal city and a big black cloud of it under hard driving. Could my turbo be bad? Your help is much appreciate thanks.
I need help! So my mk6 gti 2012 has started leaking oil from somewhere idk where. And i cannot seem to find the problem, could you tell me normal spots these tsi engines leak at?
Hey Paul, thanks for another informative video.
In terms of neglecting/ignoring issues: last weekend I got my engine steam-washed (I think water was actually applied). That day engine ran well, next morning I had severe misfire, as engine warmed up it became normal. Each day it's less severe, but still noticeable when cold - any suggestions?
Yeah don't wash engine
You probably have water around your spark plugs and/or ignition coils - very common to happen if an engine is cleaned with water. Use compressed air to blow the water out of those areas.
@@LucasVWGolfR thanks for the tip!
Almost all the Audi TSFI 2.0t has this oil leak problem. There s a recall for Water Pump but Audi should recall the oil leak which is the main cause for the bad water pump.
Paul.. The, "Issues, on top of Issue" Man.
Nice shirt!
I have an issue with my radiator fans that I cannot find the correct answer to. Do you have a video like this about the radiator fans or know what are symptoms of failing fans?
Guys. Mayby you give advise or exolenation for me. Im owning a Tiguan 2.0tsi 180 ps 2012 is it possible to drain the collant without any special device. I have seen some preasure kit device to connect to compressor to basically drain the coolant. My question is can I drain coolan on a traditional way by disconnecting a Water pipe from radiator, drain coolant and than clean the whole system by water and than put the fresh G12 coolant back, set inside temp on hig start the engine and the cooling system will self bleed? I saw than in modern VW engine you have to use a special kit for draining coolan and bleeding the system. Thanks. In advance
I need some help!
Is there a current aluminum water pump for the CBFA engine? The one that has the extra sensor? Thanks!
Hi, i have Volkswagen CC 1.8Tsi and i observed oil leak from boost pipe down side from the joint clamp is this normal or what is the cause for this leak?
Vw and Audi no longer use this anaerobic sealant to seal up the camshaft girdles. They moved to the Loctite branded black RTV sealant to seal up their timing covers and can girdles . Guess they learned their lesson that the sealant they were using doesn’t actually work.
Im looking to reseal a 3.2 with the same issue but it just gets messy the longer you let it leak. I dont believe RTV will work on the cam girdle since you need zero clearance flange sealant. But if there is a better sealer then VW green slime mystery blend no spec D154103A1 please post it. Im debating between elring afd 2018 or loctite 515 vs 574 which Porsche specs.
Robert F we use the Loctite SI 5970 that is what Audi and I believe VW now as well is using to seal up most of the engine . Apply 2mm thick layer within the provided channel and you should have no issues. I have sealed up many many cam girdles and timing covers with this gasket maker with no comebacks!!!
@@thedubdoctor Thanks, interesting stuff, this is the first time reading about it being used as a bearing girdle sealant
This engine is same in Q3 2015 -2018 ?
Thanks
I have a 2008 Volkswagen Jetta 2.0T fsi turbo. It wouldn’t start so I replaced the high pressure fuel pump and the in tank fuel pump. I eventually got it to start. It starts right up and idles fine, but when you give it gas it’s all choppy and not the correct rpm it should be at. I have a engine code, it’s P2294, so that means that there’s a problem with my fuel pressure regulator attached to my high pressure fuel pump, but the regulator is brand new so I don’t know what to do
Hi
Thanks for the helpful information shared with us. May you please make a video about MK7 R Haldex differential . My broke his diff because of hard take offs habit.
It's very expensive part gets broken with stage 2 tunes. Its making noise while driving and there is goo with the oil from clutches. Is it feasible to open and replace bearing or parts? Or buy used ? There is no single video on UA-cam for Haldex rebuild.
Thank you again
Impressive, I haven't seen someone break MK7R transfer case. Knowing VW, it's probably very similar to other haldex Quattro cars. I would stop driving it to prevent further damage. Where is the goo from? Transmission, transfer case, or rear clutch?
@@klutzycarlover from clutch wearing off.
Had to change out 3 water pumps and the other thing that got me is the camshaft bridge screen thing
I do Volkswagen and Audi valve covers and some vehicles have superceded the anaerobic/ green sealant to the black silicone D 176 501 A1, I started using this on all valve covers for vw and Audi’s and now they stop leaking and stopped the sweating,
Hello, do you recommend this D176501A1 over D154103A1? I cant' seem to find D176501A1. And also was wondering what you thought about using Elring Dirko Grey (510.030) or Corteco EVO300 (seems to be D176404M2 equivalent), they were the only ones I could find off FCP Euro.
Hello there my name is Libo all the way from South Africa. I have been a following your work since I was still in high school. Big fan. Recently bought a VW Jetta 5 2.0 FSI and there is some whistling noises that are coming from the engine area. I was wondering if you could assist me or direct me to any VW support group. I have videos and everything.
QUESTION: repair or replace? i have a 2010 A5 B8, only 50k miles. kelly blue book $11k.
turbo, timing chain and tensioner replaced, spark plug coils updated, pcv replaced.
passes emissions, no leaks, 36 mpg highway. driven gently. tax is $200/yr. insurance is $600/yr.
i like the car. obviously, if i get a new a5 then taxes and insurance will more than double. and a car payment would be near $1000/month. but if keep the car, and swap out the intake manifold, injectors, and water pump (all know to eventually fail) then the insurance and taxes will continue to go lower.
how much to repair/replace known problems?
note, if the the piston rings break>excessive oil consumption>tail pipe smoke>damaged catalytic converter..... i get rid of the car!!! no way i will pay for a rebuilt engine.
when/mileage do B8 engine piston rings (or other internal engine components) fail ?
I installed a stage 1 unitronic tune on my 2012 GLI and shortly after had some intake manifold issues that brought me to a dealership for repair. The dealership told me my tune was causing too much crank case pressure and I have had it off ever since. Car has been running perfectly since it was repaired and I don’t know if I actually had a crank case pressure issue. Anyone have any tips and thoughts on putting the tune back on now?
why not talk with your tuner
how many miles were on the motor ?
DIY for the valve cover gasket? It looks like you will lose timing if you remove the cover.
@121bham i think it holds the sprockets or cams down on the TSI, it doesn't on the FSI.
I just replaced the water pump in my eos because of this issue. Should I replace the valve cover sealant or just buy the aluminum water pump and replace the gasket once it starts leaking? The amount of oil leaking out is tiny
What was your mileage when the pump went? Also, what'd you end up doing?
How many mileage do you have on that engine?
I will be completely honest here... I installed an aluminum water pump on my CBFA gti. Yes i have a check engine light but honestly don't care. Thats the only noticable difference i have. Also i have a valve cover leak and have for as long as the new pump has been on. I am waiting it out to see how long it really takes to blow the gasket out of the water pump. Simply because this isn't my own car. I got it cheap,i do my own work and i want to know how long it really takes. So far about 1 year and still going strong.
You don't have to remove the intake manifold to replace the water pump. I'm sure it was done for clarity.
Great video thank you so much Mark mangano dependable auto wartburg tennessee
Speaking of letting things get worse, my 8P Audi A3 is burning oil every now and then (grey smoke out the tailpipe) and the dipstick smells of gasoline as of late. My local shop told me it’s definitely not the turbo after inspecting the charge pipe (when addressing a coolant leak). So it seems it’s very likely the piston rings. What are the issues that I should see beyond oil consumption? And what is the worse case scenario if I let this engine run it’s last mile? I’m already planning on starting a beater project in the event that it needs a new engine. Thanks DAP
Authorized Mike could be the place you getting gas from it might be to rich or check the oil you put in it as well
My 8p A3 with the fsi engine has always consumed about 1qt/2500mi. It's actually so reliable that I know to add a quart in between oil changes. Mine has never gotten worse and I've had it since 2010
I'm a VW tech, and I've changed pistons and engines on (quite) a few cars with worn piston rings/cylinders, and I can't remember to have smelled gasoline from the oil on any one of them.
My guess would be the high pressure fuel pump.
Thanks folks, thats helpful. I change my follower every 10-15k btw, the wear is always consistent and normal and the cams look great for 170k miles
Any information on which VAG engine codes are affected on this problem?
Thanks
All? I've heard all the differences are between the engine codes is emissions
+Daniel Hmm, really? I am not sure if it this is the only differences between these engines, but some do vary just because of different emission levels, and at the end this affects performance in some way.
I have heard there are minor mechanical or ECU mapping variations between engine codes as variable valve lift, different metal alloys for some components, plastic tubing, etc. Here are some examples:
CPSA - 155 kW (211 hp) at 5,000-6,200 rpm, 221 ft lb (300Nm) at 1,800-4,900 rpm (Audi Q3)
CCZB - 155 kW (211 hp) at 5,300-6,200 rpm, 207 ft lb (280Nm) at 1,700-5,200 rpm.
CAEA/CAEB/CDNC - 155 kW (211 hp) at 4,300-6,000 rpm, 260 ft lb (350Nm) at 1,500-4,200 rpm
All have same power but different Torque figures. Anyway, each time I try to investigate the differences and specific models these engines are equipped in, I end up getting even more confused. Too many different codes but no clear differentiation between all of them.
@@apexseal2811 yea and where's CBFA and CCTA in that list? Maybe shopDAP should make a video on 2.0T engine codes? 🤔
+Daniel Yes.
CCTA/CBFA - 147 kW (200 hp) at 5,100-6,000 rpm, 207 ft lb (280Nm) at 1,800-5,000 rpm. Application: VW Golf Mk5 GTI (for US market only), VW Golf Mk6 GTI (for US market only), Audi Q3 (for US market only), VW Jetta Mk5/Mk6, VW Passat B6, VW CC, Audi A3 (8P).
Here in South America we have the 2.0 TSI/ TFSI 211PS engine in the EA888 Gen 2 and if I am not mistaken this was the only powertrain for our market. Many people with whom I have spoken told me both the Audis and VW had oil consumption problems, which is a specific problem of the second EA888 generation, other than the famous failing chain tensioners. Models affected were the Audi A3, A4 B8, A5 2.0TFSI until 2012.5 and Volkswagen Vento/ Jetta MK6 (or Jetta GLI), Passat B8, Tiguan and probably missing many others.
It would be really, really helpful if DAP makes a video explaining in detail the main differences between these huge amount of engine codes, and most common issues for each variation.
Onto my 3rd. 2 aluminum housing pumps and 1 stock. First one cracked. 2nd was installed wrong. 3rd flange cracked. Now leaking again along with fresh oil on top block. $7k on a new engine my car still isn’t nice and is only worth $7500 leaks oil and oil filter housing gasket replaced. Now vacuum pump gasket, and upper timing chain cover seal. These things are such a pain. Toyota/Lexus hear I come.
Mechanics want money
I have driven my 2011 gti for 3.5 years and did the water pump for the same issue. didn't remove the intake manifold only the throttle body (F@#$ing C%$T), and just bought a 2001 allroad… fingers crossed! LOL! if one is down I can drive the other and fix it... got my own loaner program.
Lol, have fun with that allroad. Plan on tons of preventative maintenance. I have one myself, and I'm buying a mk5 today as a daily, ha.
The Allroad will empty your wallet and break your heart. I have a 2003 2.7t.
Do you have a valve cover sealant replacement video next? Haha? ☹️
Mario M They’re so easy
@@dylanrowan6626 gonna replace my water pump and I need to reseal the girdle as well. Can't find a tech video on how to do it and not too confident to do it. I heard if you remove the cover the engine will jump the timing.
do you have a video doing the Valve Cover Gasket?
These engines are trash, don't get me wrong I loved my MK6 GTI but I've never seen an engine have so many issues, timing chain tensioners, water pumps, valve cover leaks, rear main seal leaks, the list goes on and on.
The FSI was a great engine, super reliable as long as you changed the oil frequently along with the cam follower.
Gen 3 is great too other than the early ones with bad turbos.
I have a 2010 CC, I'm on my 4th water pump,I have a rear main seal leak, and my valave cover gasket leak is so bad I have to replace it and my turbo is going out. Jesus I wish I never bought the damn thing
Just replace the water pump in March. Now in June it busted right where u said again. Should have listened.
i think the better question is why the hell do VW engines have to be covered in a maze of vac lines instead...only companie i seen that does this
Don’t drive it with a bad pcv. My wife had a light said we should see what it is. Then she drove a day. The car told her on the way home can’t exceed 2500rpm. It got home and had a broken oil pan, valve cover, and timing gasket replacement all because of one pcv going bad. Thing is amazing though it survived with no oil on the way back and ran completely fine filled back up.
158k miles on my 1.8t with no sign of oil/coolant leak on the motor.. Still running on the original water pump 😅 fingers crossed!!!
My MK6 GTI cam position sensor is leaking oil. Do you sell just the o-ring for it?
Volkswagen still has not figured out how to properly do water cooling.
Cordial saludo, seria de gran ayuda si hacen los videos con subtitulos o doblados al idioma español. VWTiguan. Gracias
Guys i have heard that the TFSIs specifically the 1.8 And 2.0 are not as reliable as the 2.0 TDI. Carbon built up, timing chain issues are the most reported ones .... Can anyone explain me that...
Take a look here for tsi problems. Keep in mind this was gen 1/2 TSI. The current Gen 3 engines are not the same.

The breather under my water pump is leaking oil but can't find an oem gasket from vw , can't seem to find much info on it either has anyone else had this problem and know more info?
Found the same issue idk if it's a different year cross reference or a glitch on there site but I was able to get one from rock auto oil seperator
So everytime i take a sharp right turn in my 2012 MK6 GTI it gives me a low oil pressure light and then it goes away. What does that mean? It has happened twice and it's always on right sharpish turns, I have took the car in the back roads left and right turns and then nothing happens. But only sometimes when I take a sharp right then it gives me the warning. Can someone help?
Id start with your oil level my friend. Got to keep an eye on that every fill up. Same thing happened to me. Turns out sensor in oil pan wasnt wrong.
Yup happens in my 2012 gli, low oil level. I’m putting in 2 quarts every 1500 km! Mechanic says I need a new head gasket. Sooo time to let it go
I hate the plastic intake manifold if the actuator goes out the whole thing is trashed.
So, how I fix oil leak..
The Graf pump has great metal body, but thermostat is horrible and it MUST be replaced on OE or something reliable, before pump installation.
Igor, thanks! That's what I was thinking.
Do you know the correct P/N for the thermostat? I saw there are 06H-121-113-B and 06H-121-113-C, but they look completely different.
@@antonzhloba6929Based on my VIN: 06H121113B.
Water pump is covered by warranty they have a recall if your vehicle is nine years old or younger , check with your dealership
All the B8+ Audi design tend to rarely last more than 200k! The older designs were more reliable long term.
What is difference between TSI and TSFI engines?
One has an F

Shouldn't used plastics in hot engine bay
Would you be able to tell me the location of the knock sensor on a 2009 Audi a4 2.0t quattro
It's behind (under) the coolant pump. Yes, you have to remove the pump to get at the knock sensor.
A car this new shouldn't need these repairs🙄
A plastic water pump? Smh 🤦♂️ wow that’s just bad
They apparently didn't learn their lesson with the 1.8t plastic water pump that would shatter and that water pump was ran by the timing belt
I'm on my 4th!! Never a VW again
Just put a metal impeller water pump on your first belt change like I did and problem solved. I am not even going to touch it on my next(2nd) belt change. Every manufacturer uses plastic parts galore these days not just VW. Blame the disposable world we live in.
Had a 2010 vw gti that i had from 30k to 65k miles and had 0 problems, got hit by a drunk driver and was totaled, now i have a 2009 vw jetta wolfs burg edition with the same dsg and 2.0t engine as the old gti i had and ive had it since 50k to now 91k miles and still havent had problems, not sure why theres so many comments that Volkswagen is unreliable when i thrash the fuck out of the jetta i have with a stage 1 tune and intake and still have had 0 problems, you guys just need to learn how to do proper maintenance and stop buying Volkswagens from owners that didnt take care of them either
It's pretty common theme days. Lots of cars have plastic water pumps. At least aluminum replacement pumps are available. The poor BMW guys don't even have that option....
i want to pull my 2.0 out but i have no tools to do it
Just busted my ass replacing that stupid plastic water pump with a aluminum one
Mk5 GTI is TFSI not t-tsi?
I don’t think they ever marketed tsi as t-tsi
only the 2009 is a TSI.
tfsi is for audi
this exact thing happened to a friend of mine, dealership quoted him over 3k here in southern california. rip.
2,000.00 here at Volkswagen Dealership here in Atlanta, Ga. Yes rip off.
Yea like others have said vw has never made a good engine until the 3rd gen motors 2015+ there simply not reliable even with perfect maintenance.
wait the 3rd gen get the age of the 1st and 2nd lol
@gauge167 its honestly not that bad man ive driven a 2010 for years and its made me more knowledgeable about engines than ever. U say its not a good motor? Its one if the most efficient and smoothly designed engines that ever came along... theres a reason ive taken it 150k+. Its a turd but its a stout bastard and it still pulls 10 years later
Check out my vid on my audi tt 2.0!!! I rescued you could say, i had a similar issue with the oil leaking onto the water pump making it weaken and eventually leak. I recommend the aluminum water pump along with any aluminum coolant flanges you can source out. Main goal, eliminate all plastic in direct contact of the engine head lol all thats left is and IE intake manifold 😎
This guy is some next level trolling
Just had this exact thing happen to my 2016 Tiguan at 100k miles. Water pump went after dealership resealed the leaking cam cradle. Dealership has already had to completely reseal the cradle twice and now it’s leaking again!! Nearly 4k in bills in 3k miles…. NEVER BUY A VW
This is why alloy cast parts are better!... German engineering is relying on plastics more and more and reliability will tend to suffer!

Why do German cars always complicate things? They drive nice but dam there high in maintenance. thank God I know a little about them.

I keep telling people do not buy a vw if you can't wrench. End of story lol
Yes German cars have problems, they are not as reliable as Toyota/Lexus, however people forget that German cars drive better,handle great, are safer, faster, more robust, more comfortable,have better AWD, and don't look like shit after few years. So yes some people are willing to pay a bit more and enjoy their car, instead of driving a shit eco box.
You said it. My made in Germany Tiquan Limited 2.0T is running great.
Well said! Audi A3 currently and love it. Can’t drive an econo shit box anymore no matter how much cheaper it could be.
Yeah, until the repair bill hits you in the face....
I say that :51
Get rid of it and get TDI. This is leaking worse than Titanic, my 23 years old Jetta isn't in such awful condition.
Why do car manufacturers use plastic crap around an engine hmmmm 🙄
The VAG EA-888 is one of the worst engines VW have ever made. VW have totally lost their way over the last decade.
Crappy engine! My 2009 A4 has had it's engine rebuilt twice before 100k as well as the water pump replaced. It's had the piston/oil consumption issue as well as the tensioner issue causing the cam to slip and bend valves. Audi paid of all of the first and half of the second. Other than that, it's been a fairly good car.
Just don't buy a Volkswagen problem solved. I'm against leasing cars normally because I think it's a poor financial decision, but it seems like Volkswagens should only be leased.
Oh shut the fuck up St fan boi.
When you buy this crap you need a warranty.
looks like not much has changed in 30 years, if you like to wrench, buy a VW
vw are worst after 1lac km mostly - buy toyota or honda and stay away from garage
Fuck this engine! After thousands put into maintenance, I finally just traded in for a Toyota. Do yourself a favor and never buy a VW!
It's a bad engine that's my opinion of it.
