That little bag with silicate in the expansion tank is the reason for so many troubles. With time the bag splits and the silicate granules start circulating in the cooling system ,blocking the tiny holes in the heater matrix resulting in no heating in the car. The result is over a £1000 in a garage if you’ve got no mechanical skills. So if you still have that bag just get rid of it and you the right coolant that will give you the needed protection. Lot of people say bad things about that engine, but the truth is that the service intervals program from lease companies is the reason for all the problems and premature failure of the engines. Regular oil changes and filters will keep your engine happy and your pocket full... simple
Luckily, heater matrix replacement only requires minimal dismantling. Maximum 2 hours labour to do the job. Add on £60 for a new matrix and it's not a bad job.
With the charge cooler being incorporated into the inlet manifold it leads to carbon build up and blockage of inlet as well as having general DPF issues like all common diesel engines but the additional heat exchanger element inside the manifold leads to more problems in the long run I have a video on my page going through faults on 1 of these engines having low boost problems and this was the cause only fault in ECU was p0299 low boost and checked everything only to find blocked inlet and blocked exhaust didn't even show a DPF fault was very frustrating
Wow, a lot of thinking is going into these engines. However as beautiful as they are, I wonder how they will do after warranty expires in places like here in Africa.
Now that they stopped using plastic piston rings and cam chains made from string the engines should be quite solid. But it's the emissions controls system which worry me now.
My 1.6 tdi dgte cooling system is cursed, i swear it is, I'm on the cars 3rd heater matrix, 3rd expansion bottle and 2nd main water pump, the last water pumps metal sliding sleeve had broken up, its unbelievable. Apart from that its been a good car lol
If you still have the car, fit the old style water pump without sleeve, heatertank from a petrol (doesn't have the silicate bag) and fill with g30 antifreeze. Permanent fix.
So many failure points being built into these engines! You can see the pure regret and embarrassment on Wolfgangs face as he tries to explain the mess.

meet exhaust gas standards !!!!!!!!!!!!! Well l think we all know by now how that went VW paying out millions worldwide in court litigation proceedings
wath a junk engines compared with the 90ties tdi etc engines. Is the reason that the good older experianced engeneers are changed for (cheap) jungsters?
Modern and quality doesnt go together, I have Audi 1.9 TDI, probably better quality then this common rail diesels but its much more noisy and dirty. My old golf 4 SDI sounds like a tractor or even worse but can run forever.
I thought the EU6 had the old Rovers variable valve technology which this engine didn't have. I never thought we would see variable valve technology on diesels but it now on the latest vag diesels to help engines to warm up. More shit to go wrong..
Not good oil taking engines produced from 2008 til 2013 ......if you now there is sutch a stupid oil ring construction......why so long produce with this mega construction fould. And it is prove that the engines are not good checkt Al these engines take mega oil within 100.000km
Plastic elements in pumps - that wont last too long. Typical German low quality. BVecause u dont believe germans make good cars anymore? They make expensive cars that are expensive to repair and brake easily. I will give u an example. If these cars are that good and that expensive why do they break so often and so easily? 10 Years of owning Toyota and it never let me go. Every time, every turn of key and i ride them pedal to metal.
10 years and 300.000 km of owning a golf 5 tdi 2.0 140ps not once had a problem , dont know what you mean, service your car regularly and you wont have those problems
@@bigogr8731 Your engine was designed over 20 years ago - I don't think he's referring to those. I have a 2004 Mk5 Golf 2.0 TDI with BKD engine. Still going strong at 200,000 miles.
Pahahahaha meeting exhaust standards.... didn’t they use the steering angle sensor and secondary engine map for that... omg these videos made for kids, makes me worry taking my car to a garage where the mechs learnt from this.

@Audi_A3_8V_Repairs True, but better then all week for dash removal on a Mk5!
@Audi_A3_8V_Repairs It's almost like they expected people to have to regularly top up the coolant on a brand new car! How far VW have fallen.
Oil Piston ring - jako za to by potřebovaly rozkopat tlamy!!! Prej ekologie....
This is the video I've been looking for. I have a 2.0 TDI and this was very informative.

We can also dodge the emissions test by leaving a brown envelope of 20 Euro notes on the passenger seat.
🤣🤣

Luis Maruwasa neither of these engines should have any problems. Especially 2.0 TDI is an old engine, so no big problems there.

Hi. Do you have 1.6 tdi euro 6 version of this? Thank you for videos.
This is the euro 6 version
Where can i find the original german version without english synchro?

Only chemistry can prove...We need chemical reagents for remove toxic compunds.

meet exhaust gas standards !!!!!!!!!!!!! Well l think we all know by now how that went VW paying out millions worldwide in court litigation proceedings
The question is: why these new engine had more problems than old one, also has short lifetime.???
i thought they are doing away with valves and cams and belts and chains . and now being elctronic makes a lighter and shorter engine with less parts .
Is this the ea189 engine?
no ea288

@@rob-123 This is EU6 - the EU5 had a vertical DPF/catalyst. That was on the Mk6 Golf. This is for a Mk7

This motor a Traktor sound i am vw fans bat this motor not good sound
Yep, the EA189 EU5 engine sounds much nicer, is easier to work on, and is more economical too.
His bit about intake swirl was rubbish. Clearly that setup is to help balance the heat in the head.
