Same, also worn thru 12 cables in 1,5 year

I’ve got the same engine in my Audi a3 I’m at 135k done oil changed 8-9k miles. Drives as good as a 50k mile car no issues smooth and powerful

To solve the problem just buy NGK cables, they can withstand higher temperatures than the original ones

Frst replace chain to 200k 🤷

it is actually a belt

Mine was built in 11/2011 and got the old chain. It got its first chain change just a few days ago at 254.000 km. It rattled but didn't cause problems yet.

My Polo with 1.2 TSI 2011 (timing chain) has 207.000km on the clock and I am stil not hearing any knocking sounds ;)

Congrats. I plan to buy Golf 7 with this 1.2 TSI (produce in Skoda Czech Factory) or Honda Civic 1.8 (produce in UK).

@@jdm3779 good choices!

Any issues ?

@@moses468 i got the same CBZB engine .....and i discovered after year of replacing "faulty" components that the ECU software was faulty and was showing bunch of random errors that really never occured but still put me in limp mode

@@jurajokasa834 Whatever the error may be it is programmed in such a way to slow down the acceleration immediately...👍

Totally agree, love my Ibiza 1.2 TSI 🚘

I came from a 2010 hatchback with a 1.4 litre 150 BHP engine to a 1.0 litre TSI 115 BHP Volkswagon Polo gen 6 engine and the thing accelerates effortlessly. Barely have to touch the throttle and I'm already going well into 15 mp/h. The other thing with it is the engine is dead silent the entire time. So now I can't rely on sound for my gear shifting as my old car always roared at around 2k revs.

Mate it does 52-54 mpg max not 75

Which engine, and which model (of which year) if i may ask? I heard there were many different 1.2 tsi engines. What are you using the car for? Short city runabout, commuting to work or longer highway trips? Thanks

@@CoreMaster111 i have the same engine 119000km on it runs smooth and is chipped pretty powerfull now. It uses a little bit oil about 1l at 5000 or 8000km but in the the futufe i want to upgrade the engine with a hybrid turbo and an new 1.2 engine looks like a fun project hahaha

@@CoreMaster111 i got 1,2TSI CBZB 2010 .....and i just replaced everything on it and still check engine light and it still use to shove me in limp mode

I have the 1.2tsi 66kw polo with cjz engine. Have 320000km now and only 7 years old. Only changed the timing belt 1000km ago since i bought it. Water pump was the only major part i replaced on it as it is a common problem on these engines.

It is the 1.8 and 2.0 TFSI engines.

Jamie Legg yes

There's 2 versions. The slightly more powerful one (105bhp) is used in the FR as far as I'm aware.

@Jakub2020 remember to change the whole system (belt tensioners rails etc= if you just get a new chain it will wear down quicker if the tensioner is loose already

Witch model?

but i have Skoda Fabia II Combi with that engine

if you have vaccum CBZA wastegate then just open the hood and yank the rod sticking from actuator to turbo exhaust it does it ......and bolts snapping? never had the problem with gasket or cylinder heads

john doe Hi, my engine oil also smell like petrol. Also, i noticed a slight increase in oil level, which seems like the same issue as yours. Did you understand what the issue was? If yes, can you please let me know?

@@OnurKasemlar2 looks like I had the pcv valve problem. We are still not entirely sure if that resolved the issue. I will change the oil after few thousands of kilometers and then see if everything is fine. I had a lot of engine codes (p0441, p2237, p2195 and p0030) all related to vape and fume reflux and whole system didn't function correctly causing wrong engine's crankcase pressure and fumes. Had to change high pressure fuel pump and o2 sensor. And finally after p0041 we figured out it's tube on pcv valve that is bad and is not holding pressure. So looks like whole vape system didn't work at all, causing the engine working in rich all time.

I think yes… the injectors might be different though

VW owns Audi, every engine is marked as Audi & VW.

Most of the parts are shared with Volkswagen, Audi, Seat and Skoda because VW group owns them all.

Joe Hamizi no

Change belts on other cars every four years, one chain change a lifetime. what you getting at?

@@christopherwilson6527 once? 🤣🤣🤷‍♀️

my vw golf 6 1.2 tsi he belt all valves and destroy the pistons...and i replace the engine.

alalala p yea my friend he jump three teeths and destroy the valves and the pistons... i buy new engine..!

No, just need to change to new version, it is cheap af and tensioner is better

nope my guy

@@robinjohansson9556 So i can take a 105hp ecu and replace that with no issue?

My dad has this engine in his car, and indeed, the timing chain is too weak, and has become too loose. Needs this new set: www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/03f198229a-timing-set-1-2tsi-63kw-77kw-skoda-25113.html

Problem was sorted by the end of 2011.

What you are experiencing might be the result of pre-ignition, caused by low octane gasoline. You could try high octane fuel ( 95/98 ) and see if the problem is solved or not. If this doesn't help I would go and visit an certified Volkswagen AG Servicecenter.

Abradon 01 thanks for your help. I’ve put a full tank of high octane fuel in and I’m half way through it but seems to of not helped so far. I’ve noticed it seems to ease off when the engine is up to to temperature, if also taken it to vw as it’s under warranty but as usual they’ve said there’s nothing wrong!

When I first got my A3 ( same engine ) I also thought there was something wrong with it and I took it to an Audi-Servicecenter, but they said it was nothing wrong. I now drove over 15000km with it, without a single problem. I would advice that right before your warranty ends you get it inspected again, just to be sure. But generally these engines last forever with good oil. Its especially important with small engines that your engine is warmed up to operating temperature ( first 4 km of driving ) before exceeding 2500 rpm.

Does it do any of that during idle?

Nick Borrego yes all the time

They didn't lie. You felt the power rising not Torque. You have all the Torque at 1550rpm and it stays there till 4100rpm. And while Power is RPM multiplied with torque, it makes you feel that Torque is highest at 3500rpm where instead it is power you feel.

Mine pulls strong from 2000 rpm up. Best get yours looked at lol

christopher wilson same on my side. Once i pass 1800-1900 rpm i can definitely feel the power.

280 000 km still working

There were several cars with these 1.2 TSI engines in junkyard after 140 000km because timing chain failed and destroyed the engine.

@@CoreMaster111 it is often recommended to change the timing in between 1-1.15 lac kms in car as a precaution

​@@CoreMaster111 and there are many which did 500k km and are doing just fine

This engine was introduced in 2009, back then electric cars were not exactly a thing.

77kw = 104.6 HP

105 PS or 103.5 BHP

_--viplin --_ well done. I guess the clue was in the title...

The diesel sound happens because the oil isn't circulating properly. They gave me a wrong oil filter in the store and I almost fried the top end because of that.

Laber nicht!

Mark v its not a french engine so thats not true

Never heard of a 1.2 or 1.4 TSI engine burning oil. The 1.8 and 2.0 TSI yes, they do. Pretty much with the original fitted pistons.

Omar Andres I don’t know about engine but I sel my golf mk7 because in 3000 km burns about 1 litter of oil

Now i have audi a5 3.0 tdi 245 hp , it’s amazing lol

Look after your car then. I have the 1.2 tsi and havnt needed to top up the oil for 5000 miles, and thats only because i change the oil

kushtrim musa thats actually a good consumption. Acceptable range is upto 500ml per 1000km. Use better quality oil
