Video Description

►The 3rd generation VW 2.0 TSI is an evolution of Volkswagen's TSI engine. Although they appear similar, there are numerous distinct differences between the EA888 Gen 1 and Gen 2 engines. The EA888 goes by a few different engine codes depending on the production year: CXCA, CXCB, and DKFA. These engines are most commonly found in both the Mk7 VW GTI and Mk6 VW Jetta GLI and make between 210 and 228 horsepower, depending on the production year. There are only a handful of common problems to look out for on the VW EA888 Gen 3 engine, such as: Low priority: -Spark plugs -Updated ignition coils High priority: -Intake valve cleaning -Water Pump replacement -Air oil separator (aka PCV valve) -Rear Main seal (if leaking, a common side effect of a failed PCV valve) Other than those mentioned above, the only preventative maintenance you should have to do is regular oil changes. Volkswagen claims an engine oil service interval of 10,000-miles is adequate for the EA888 Gen 3; however, it has been shown that service at 5,000-miles extends the life of internal components.
