Another issue that can arise is the use of the wrong kind of oil. These engines require the correct synthetic oil. And of course the correct timing belt intervals. THANKS FOR WATCHING for parts canadacatalyst@gmail.com

Was there a point to these statements. You do not buy a VW for reliability cut the bullshit. VW has had a low to mid reliability rating forever which is sad when Audi and Porsche consistently get much higher ratings. Fun to drive, yep. Relatively cheap maintenance with a few future proofing mods, yep. But please stop with the 200k miles and blah blah unless it’s a TDI!!, when the timing belts on 1.8t were snapping at 60k following VW’s 100k mile schedule VW did not say my bad here’s a new engine nope they said try and change them 75k miles instead. care to mention how the timing chain guides on the VR6 fail long before 100k miles yet the chain itself is usually maintenance free. The every car has issues is nonsense and purely denial from fanboys who accept poor quality as the norm. VW was not always this way but they have had plenty of black marks in their history, Reliability is just one of them.

9 times out of 10 when something is broken on a 1.8T its always rubber/plastic/vacuum related. There are plenty of delete kits out there and replacement hoses, spending a weekend or two replacing all the hoses massively improves their reliability and makes them basically bulletproof, planning to do mine to ease my mind. The only other issue is that people dont change the oil frequently enough and they run super hot so they sludge up and have an oil pump failure or run like shit until they wear out. 10k intervals are the perfect way to kill these. 5k minimum but 4k is better. Mine is only at 120k and i had my fair share of problems thanks to previous owner but its been trouble free since i sorted them. They are a good engine if you know what you sre doing and you take care of it. They are very rewarding to drive. Not to mention they are a pretty flexible platform. Variety of vag/audi stuff can be fit to these or made to fit from different coils and turbos all the way to DSG's from newer cars. There is a reason why people love these. Had my fair share of ups and downs with it and even with all of its issues you cant really find another car with an engine for this money that runs as smooth and powerful as these. Not to mention okay fuel economy.

Literally one of the best 4 cylinder engines ever made. The EMISSIONS systems are over complicated I agree. Once they no longer have to be emissions tested delete the SAI, EGR, and the other emissions systems and you’ll have a simple, powerful turbo 4 cylinder that gets 30mpg and is very easy to make 300+hp out of. The engine itself is very strong, built with forged internals from the factory that can hold up to 500hp, many KZfaqrs and forum members confirmed.

One very common issue is definitely the PCV valve.They..VW..put shitty sub par valves on this model.It's just a simple plastic breather type valve that eventually sticks.If you notice you're having to but a quart of oil in every few weeks and or the oil gets dirty quickly after oil change.It's more than likely the PCV.I got a Billet aluminum one,that I ordered thur 03 motorsports.It cost 38 bucks but damn it works great!

My Passat B5.5 now on 174,000 km and running strong. Yeah sure hoses and plastic pieces deteriorate, crack or wear. But as in any car you have to give maintenance and follow the recommended mileage. Some parts really go well beyond the supposed manufacturer service life, others break earlier, like diverter valve, pressure recirculating valve, bleeder valve, jet suction pump and secondary air pump. I may not say this, but I haven't changed the timing belt, it's the original from factory still running. Change engine oil before what the book says and in those turbo engines, better be synthetic oil to avoid sludge. As I said, everything goes to prevention. If you act over correction, well then the engine and car is doomed.

And good to tune fiat 90s engines wow! And pre 90s and modern ones to, fiat own Ferrari Alfa Romeo lancia and the rest, they've been one of the best car companies in history and made some of the best rally cars in history.. and same with a lot of other cars that people call unreliable and I know that rant don't mean much cos you probably didn't get them fiats in America lol Probably just Europe but if that's the case, that's why fiat is underestimated so much cos people have never experienced a proper fast fiat.. unreal fast..

I’ve had every one of these problems on my 2001 1.8t Jetta. I bought it brand new and within the first 9 months of ownership it was back at the dealer 3 times with different warranty issues. I still have it and drive it nearly every day but I’m unlikely to buy another VW because of the stupid problems and total lack of maintenance planning by the designers. In fact, the dealer where I bought it offered a “free oil changes for life” program and I regularly took it to them for oil changes because, well, it was free. Eventually they “phased out” the program by making appointments extremely hard to get and very long (like 3 hours for an oil change) so people stopped going. Only after years of dealership changes did I start doing my own again and discovered that the entire bottom of the engine is covered by a two piece shroud. To access the oil filter they both have to come off. Thing is, the dealer tossed the aft shroud sometime over the years and never told me. Presumably because it’s such a pain in the butt to disassemble the car to do some basic maintenance. Removing the plugs also has multiple layers of unnecessary brackets and sensors covering them to remove that could have easily been put elsewhere. I also own a Honda and can change the oil filter without getting under the car. And it doesn’t drool oil all over the power steering hoses like the VW. Consider me unimpressed by the VW.
