Why Volkswagen Engines Fail
Here's an in-depth teardown of the Volkswagen EA888 2.0 TSI engine!
The EA888 engine was introduced in the late 2000's and is still in production today across many Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche model. It is a cast iron 2.0 L turbocharged 4 cylinder engine, offered in both front wheel (transverse) and rear wheel drive (longitudinal) configurations.
In this video, we teardown an EA888 engine out of a 2011 VW GTI to see what's inside, how it works and to examine the common failure points on these engines across its three different generations. Common failure points include the plastic water pump and thermostat housing, timing chain tensioners, stretched timing chains, weak or clogged PCV systems, oil leaks, and carbon build up in the intake valves due to it only having direct injection.
Overall the EA888 engine has its share of issues, that if addressed with updated parts, can make the engine reliable, though at a cost that would be higher than its competitors in the vehicle segment to maintain.
