You forgot to mention the bad piston oil ring design, the cheap timing chain materials, timing tensioner and chain guide quality. If you own one of these engines you are going to be in trouble. My advice is to get rid of it ASAP!
You’re right about the piston ring failure. Car companies across the world are building them cheaper and cheaper with every passing year and they are getting more and more expensive to buy. Just like about everything nowadays.
@@motorcarnut Don't have any issues with my Toyota Hilux. Runs perfectly with 190 Klms no oil burning, no timing chain issues, no engine issues at all. VW are shit cars from the get go. I believe they make them that way to break so you pay through the nose for parts and service.
Also, a lot of people don’t realise “Maintenance” maintaining your vehicle regardless of manufacturer is the key to low repair cost. I have a Ford F 150 with 750k miles on original engine, transmission and rear end. Is it because it’s a Ford? No, it’s because I maintain it regularly.
@@motorcarnut + 1 for maintenance. I maintained my GTI religiously and it still broke and had issues. My Hilux I maintain as well but not as much as the GTI and it has zero issues.
@@motorcarnut ahh brilliant news, was worried there. Thanks a lot for the response mate! Anything I should be looking out for on a 100k 2008 mk2 tts 2.0 tfsi? Aside from cam belt / followers and reg servicing etc? Any advice may be a saver! Thanks again, Liam
Please advise 2011 2.0 TSI from jetta idk if its a cawb or 1.4 tsi found in scirocco. i watched a torquecars video and he said the 1.4 tsi is good because of the chain being replaced by the belt. Edit: full service history on both no leaks, which should I get?
What about the 2015 beatle 2.0 turbo? Last week a valve spring broke and major damage to piston no.3 happened, I'll change the engine for another used one since the cost of repairing mine is higher than replacing it, bit I dont know if I should sell the car and get a different one, are those engines faulty? Great video keep it on!
@@motorcarnutshall I change oil at 5000 miles? 10,000 looks to me a lot for any oil. I also got a 2023 Tiguan and gets me worried all comments on Internet about this engine
I have experienced and seen these problems with the 2.0t in my 09 A4, i am now looking to get a mk3 TTS 2016+, can you clarify what changes in the mk3 TTS and also the mk2 TTS as your list excludes that.
Does the CC 2015 - CCZB (chain) have the same problem ? Or I should not to worry about ?
That engine has the updated version so you should be fine.
Where are you located at man you are are a true mechanic master in your craft
Thank you! NY but we are moving out of state.
@Motorcarnut if only you’ll be here in Vegas it’ll be just amazing 👍🏽
@thebigbosss1000 lol, not anytime soon unfortunately
@@motorcarnut well where ever you decide to go I wish you lots of success 🙏🏽
@thebigbosss1000 Thank you for the kinds words!!!
The PCV part is a little above $300. Just bought one and put it in.
That sounds like factory retail price, could of just bought one off Amazon for $50.00
Mine was 240$

Toyotas too bro. They made crappy 4 cylinder engines throughout the years as well as there V6 in many 4runners & Highlanders No company is immune.

Does Audi S3 2.0 TSI 2008-2014 have same problem?
Yes
But they have a belt not chain?
If it’s a belt then no. Most have chains

@backoncrack95mcguinnely95 you should be fine, just keep up on oil changes, coolant and filter changes as well! And enjoy!!!

2.0 TSI is better just replace the common problems I mention and it's a better engine choice.
what about 2.0tsi Scirocco 2010-2015?same engine?
Yours should be fine
@@motorcarnut No its the same engine, same faults cauld appear, i have the 2010 scirocco 2.0 tsi cawb engine
What about the 2015 beatle 2.0 turbo?

This problem was fixed by 2014, so yours is fine.
This problem is usually from Tiguan 2008 to 2013.. VW already updated the Chain tensioners on the 2014 to now
Yes tensioner but still the other problems exist unfortunately.
Right, they also changed the chain to a belt. Because belts never fail.
Belts have to be replaced, chains most of the time don’t.
@@nitronduck1677 so, you're saying the new TSI's are belt instead of chain?
Does this include the MK 3 Scirocco and the MK 2 Audi TT?
Second gen’s have the most problems
90k kms tsi. Starting to leak. Technician says " don't worry, it's minor they ALL leak "
Great engine to drive though
You have to fix the leak. They are not supposed to leak. Have many videos on these vehicles to fix any of your problems
VW Tiguan 2023? Is it same engine? At what milage should PCV be replaced? Like a maintenance replacement?
Yours is fine, just follow regular maintenance as stated in your owners manual.
You doing any mods to yours Bacardi?
@@snipsnapsizzle2722 nothing yet. Just eliminating muffler for sound
@@Bacardibombillo nice , I have a 2023 R line with aftermarket intake and filter using the stock air box and a turbo inlet pipe .
@@motorcarnutshall I change oil at 5000 miles? 10,000 looks to me a lot for any oil. I also got a 2023 Tiguan and gets me worried all comments on Internet about this engine
❤
Thank you!
What about VW CC 2014 2.0 TSI (211hp)? Does it have the same problem?
Yes but not as bad.
How good or bad is 155kw tsi Tiguan engine? Thanks mate
With proper maintenance and watchful of the problems they have and address them, very good!
What about the 1.0 or 1.2 tsi in seat ibiza ?
I’m not familiar with those engines but I doubt they have the same problems
@@motorcarnut thanks 😊
@littlemissgroove sure, no problem
Is it the same with the 1.8t?
Yes
I have experienced and seen these problems with the 2.0t in my 09 A4, i am now looking to get a mk3 TTS 2016+, can you clarify what changes in the mk3 TTS and also the mk2 TTS as your list excludes that.
As for the tensioner,after 2014 they updated the tensioner and the problem was fixed
@@motorcarnutty. what issues do you think the mk3 TTS would have ? i won't go above Stage 1.
Those newer engines are much better. Key is to maintain it.
Does a5 2023 also have these issues ?
No
Pcv bro ,positive crank case ventilation
Yeah get them mixed up but you know what I meant
Is this problem with the Q3 2.0 TFSI 2024
Your vehicle is brand new so hard to say about reliability yet. Probably not.
90% of the issues on this engine can be easily avoided by just doing the maintenance
Yep, goes for most vehicles
2.0t FSI ea113 is a better engine even though its older. We have a few mk5 GTIs and jettas with well over 240kms
Some say yes some say no, I think the newer engines once problem areas are addressed are the better of the two.
@@motorcarnut i prefer the EA113 easier to work on. Plus it's good it has a normal valve cover where the ea888 the valve cover holds the cams in.
So I guess in 2019 the problem was already solved by manufacturer?
For the most part, yes!
Is it a PCV
Yes
@@motorcarnut you keep saying PVC, which is a plastic.
Yes I know
What if u take a pcv delete kit ?
You don't delete crankcase ventilation 😅
Hai..can i know where's the engine number location
It’s on the plastic top timing cover, usually CCTA etc.
