Hej !
Vad finns att säga om 1.8 TSI ( EA888 ) motorn med 160 Hk. ( 2009-2013 )
Om jag fattat det rätt så finns det 3 olika typer av denna motor...
* EA888/1 ( 2007-2010 )
* EA888/2 ( 2008-2015 )
* EA888/3 ( 2011 ---> )
1. Törs man köpa en bil med denna motor och vad har ni för erfarenheter ? :confused:
2. Har 1.8 TSI motorn precis samma problem som storebror 2.0 TSI motorn
med trassliga balansaxlar och havererade högtryckspumpar till bränsleinsprutningen
samt taskig reglering av oljetrycket ? :confused:

Known problems:
* The EA888 suffers from higher than usual / favorable engine oil consumption.
The rectification for this is performed after a two part oil consumption test is carried out by a VW dealer, The vehicle will need to be burning more than 1 litre per 1,000 Km,
or if the top up oil warning illuminates on the instrument cluster during this time.
Only after this test is carried out and an agreement of payment by the manufacturer & customer contribution is agreed the repair can be carried out only by VW dealer and manufacturer approved repairers.
The rectification that is carried out is to remove the engine, replace the Piston & Connecting Rod assemblies in all four cylinders with modified units, head gasket and so forth.
From late 2012, the modified internal engine components were fitted to new replacement engines and new vehicle units by the Volkswagen group engine plants.
* Another common issue is camshaft timing chain tensioner failure.
This was due to the design of the retaining element that after higher mileages and / or premature wear stopped the tensioner from holding the tension in the timing chain.
If in the case of this component failing, the chain would jump, allowing the pistons and valves to hit each other,
causing expensive and terminal engine damage.
This was later addressed by the Volkswagen Group engine plants as they started to fit a modified
tensioner that is retained by a much more reliable spring retainer instead.
* The final mainstream common issue affects all EA888 generations.
The cooling system is mainly a problem free system, with the exception of the plastic thermostat unit, these are very commonly known to be prone to leaks, with no specific part of the housing known to leak.
On the EA888, the thermostat unit also includes the coolant pump,
on some models the coolant pump is still part of the thermostat, however is available separately.
The coolant pump / thermostat unit is located under the intake manifold regardless of generation, model year or application.
The thermostat side is joined by a plastic union directly to the engine oil cooler, which in turn is mounted to and is an integral part of the ancillary / alternator bracket
(also includes the oil filter housing in all generations and applications).
The coolant pump is driven by the intake side balance shaft, on the flywheel side of the engine.
The rectification is to renew the thermostat unit with a modified unit, and if needed in later models, the coolant pump if necessary.
However these newer units are still known to leak.
There have currently been no further modifications to the design of this to combat the issues by Volkswagen Group.
A lot of people having EA888 engines have been reporting failing thermostat housings.
Most of them are being replaced under warranty by VW.
This is most likely due to the plastic housing, it's recommended to install an uprated aluminium one.
