Thank you for the video. I have a 2018 Passat with 42K, I'm the original owner and haven't had any issues. I think it's a wonderful engine. My Passat on a long trip will get 40 MPG and with mixed driving 35MPG. When you enter a highway it had plenty of power. I had an engine light warning me about the oil separator and VW changed it right away.

I have a 2008 VW Scirocco 2.0TSi GT with 114,000 miles, I've owned it for about 4 years, no problems at all with the engine, apart from replacing a couple of ignition coils 2 years ago, zero hassle - and that's a 16 year old car. So folks, if a car hasn't been abused and has a good history they are as reliable as any engine - don't be put off 2.0TSi completely.

I have a 2009 VW Scirocco 2.0TSi with 90,000 miles. It's been tuned to almost 300hp with some bolt ons for half it's life too, and honestly all I've done is replace these damn coil packs. Solid engine! **Just remembered previous owner replaced the timing chain tensioner. Probably a good idea with these engines.
@Bmovie5000 Ай бұрын
I agree completely. I’ve got a 2009 Passat with the 2.0 TSI and 175,000KM. It hasn’t been perfect, but it has never left me stranded. That said, I’ve been proactive in my maintenance, replacing the original coils and having the early, failure prone timing belt tensioner and chains replaced with upgraded parts. With frequent oil changes, I’m hoping I can get at least another 150,000KM out of the car.
@Owenage1000 Ай бұрын
@@Bmovie5000 In the video you said that if the PCV/oil separator produces negative pressure, it means it is damaged. I read information on the forums that if the oil filler cap sucks, it means it is damaged. That's why I'm asking. In the 1.4 16V VW I do not have such an effect - the cap unscrews normally when the engine is running, but the revolutions change for a moment. However, in the 2.0TSI, the revs increase for a moment and the cap is sucked in.

The timing chain tensioner failure is all over the various VAG brand forums, and the fix was implemented some years ago now. One big positive about these EA888 engines is that they are strong. You can tune them without much fear 9f premature failure, unlike the more recent 1.5 TSI engines that have slowly been introduced across vag.

Should I get a new turbocharger or use a tool called turbobend to fix the waste gate rod- car is on original turbocharger with 165k do you think I can get more miles out of my current turbo or just replace it new now?

Would I expect the chain tensioner issue be fixed on that model?

That seal looks like it could be a ptfe seal. They are usually not spring energised as they rely on low pressure but bigger area to seal and are capable of higher surface speeds than traditional seals. Probably needed because of the huge diameter. May be very expensive seal made badly to solve a problem that should not exist

I have the same engine on a 09 VW Passat 2.0T- B6. I was told by a mechanic I trust that I have a rear main seal leak possibly. I told him I was driving and I got a message on the dashboard saying “engine oil pressure low, pull over”. I pulled over right away, thank God I was 1 minute away from a gas station. When I checked the oil level it seemed very low. I bought 2 quarts and filled it up, I drove home a bit scared since this hasn’t happened before. once home I did an oil and filter changed. I had asked the mechanic when he was available to fix it, but he never gave me a date. He also said I can drive it and nothing else will happened until it gets fixed. Other than a small oil leak. Is this correct, his assumption. I have noticed a leak from the flywheel/clutch/pressure-plate inspection hole... once the engine is running. I have driven the car for 3 days since and the engine oil still full, the brake fluid is full as well. Is there anything I need to worry about. Thank you for your help and helpful videos. May God and Mary bless you all.

Unbelievable. Leave it to the Germans to take something as simple as a PCV valve and turn it into that electronically controlled monstrosity you see there. I have no sympathy for people that buy these cars without researching. Or any car for that matter. These are endless money pits for sure. I would never ever buy a direct injection engine without the MPI piggybacking on the intake side. Even those injectors are not on all the time so this system would carbon up a little more than a traditional MPI alone system.
