3 minutes in. Conclusion: Just buy another car.
no just buy another engine with the right piston rings
To their credit that motor is a rocket. It’s just a total pile of shit.
I wouldn’t mind one of these engines refurbed by these guys. I still wonder, why not just have an oil pan gasket instead of the good shit?
Use engine flush products with each oil hange it should do the trick.
Or better still don't buy a VAG product👏
These engines are not worth 25,000 Euros/30,000 USD!! Thats what a GTI will cost
All I see is dollar signs. Crazy how a manufacturer defect is a cost upon the consumer.
And crazy how consumers are paying higher "carbon " taxes, yet manufacturers are allowed to create unreliable engines, that cause more plastic pollution and more scrap and garbage. There should be new laws that guarantee the manufacturers are not making unreliable engines.
@@sranjesuper welkom to the netherlands :D
Are you telling me I need an engine overhaul 100k km in? And that I should pay a few grand to fit it?
I'm happy driving my 15yo mercedes with 320k km, running perfectly.
Just sold my 13 yr old BMW 530D (240K km) as it's too small for the kids in the back and get a 1 year old Skoda superb with this engine. I hope it will also last 10 years! I hear you about Mercedes, I was in a taxi that was near it's 2nd engine overhaul but at 750,000KM the only problem it had was some noise from the wheel bearings that the owner knew could be changed quite cheaply. Merc's are SOLID cars. New (ish) skoda has near E-class legroom but I cross my fingers on VAG group...
8 minute of the film tells you everything " 3rd generation of this pistons are good", but you have to byy them from VW, so i think VW group should change these pistons as service action, they produce shit quality engines and now they ask customers to pay for it...thank you very much VW group
buy the cars give them your money then fork out more fix it yourself all because flaw in their design..utter nonsense and they get away with it
True
I think in US they fixed them under warranty and even after under class action lawsuit but in EU VW makes the laws....
Solve the problem by buying Honda or Toyota ( Acura or Lexus ).
@@ayo88383 Yes, asian cars are better!
100K and then this overhaul. I think it is a legalized crime by VAG. Designing a technical product to fail at 25% of its economical and technical lifespan should be criminal.
Congratulations ! You've just spent 10k on a 8k car !
eh these cars are not 1.0L Tata made in India
@@jamesmedina2062 I own an A7 from 2016 , I believe I know the difference.
@@adimazga so everything is crap except for your 2016 A7 huh?
@@jamesmedina2062 rofl how did you come up with that?
@@adimazga what? not true? It is a question. I support engine rebuilds. You apparently don't.
This kind of repair is suitable for racing car or exotic car owners with deep wallet.
For other car buyers, it is scary.
all that efford to save shitty engine, what a waste
it´s hard enough when there is a company called VAG Expert, to repair stock VAG engines.
Yes,i had one TSI. never again.
Another VAG engine with problems, good engines like 1.9 TDI goodbye, Vag only wants fast profit puting obsolence in their cars...
Cars like golf IV TDI 1.9 will never come again, a time when VAG are good making very solid cars...
“We screw the Rods” ( Audi screws the customer)
2yr warranty with rebuilt engine only ...raus hier ..blödsinn....before 1yr those engines will be with problems again....from electrical to engine and transmission problems...their high maintenance ...schieBe...
Who spends this much money on an old Audi?
its way cheaper then new car this costs around 5k eur
Old Audis don't have problems...Old Audis don't use TFSI
Old Audis are normally 4 5 or 6 cylinders...
Old Audis use Cam Belts not Chains
New Audis are Not worth having as this vid testifies 👏
@@TheMuzikall I am looking for an 'old' Audi A4, gasoline 1.6, 1.8 or 2.0. Up until which year are the Engines OK? I thought the FSI was introduced in 2003 but this video says FSI TFSI Engines from 2008...do you know?
@@TjeRod Tfsi with that problem start from 2008 to 2015 , all cars had that problem but manny of them had this solved from warranty , but some disn t so becarefull what u choose
@@Adrian8-q1m thanks!
this will cost more than the car itself.
Very expensive ... !
Agree! They are powerful engine but not reliable.
@@3kkk514
The 3rd Gen engines are very reliable, even before the piston/ring update. They don't break down, they just consume oil.
@@x-man4702 yeah sure, mine is broken now. so dont think so:D
@@rn.v4629
Poor maintenance or lack of
Excellent work. My car is a 2016, so it came with the new piston design. But if I had an older car, I'd bring it to you guys for sure.
I love the honesty.
And they say Alfa is the one that is always at mechanic. VW, Audi, BMW owners always hide their repairs, and they always say it was never broken, yeah, definitly!
If the piston rings don’t get you the timing chain tensioner will
So called German engineering hey!
This sounds like it will cost an arm and a leg🙄
Throw your left nut in the mix....
Looks??? The sound is a boring jingle! 🤣
Cost of engine work is more than the value of the whole car. Wtf
TSI (true shit inside) TFSI (true fuckn shit inside)
Your car (Non existing)
Great briefing👍
Never once needed to remove the Freon to remove any 2.0t Audi engine
They remove the lock carrier.
@@MrALEMARPONGOS even putting it in service position ac compressor just needs moved to the side
Wow im surpise you actually saw this video
I'm trying to think of a scenario where this would make any financial sense. Got nothin'...
Start a VW engine overhaul company. Thats a lot of financial sense.
The only way i see anyone doing this is if someone has one of the more higher performance engines. They love their 300 hp 2.0l turbo so much they want it to keep going i guess? For any other one, it's probably cheaper to just buy a second hand one with lower milage.
@@willemkanon4020 ok, so let me give you an example: you have that engine issue in your Skoda/Seat/VW/ Audi and you have to do something about it. For around 2900 euro you get your engine completely refurbished + timing chain, spark plugs, engine oil and filters replaced. Basically you are getting a new engine without it's manufacturer's fault + 24 month warranty with no mileage limit for the fraction of the price of a new engine. And a peace of mind. Or, as you would prefer, you go to eBay etc. and buy a used engine (for half of the above amount), with lower mileage you have no idea what state it is in, with no warranty or if you get lucky, maybe a couple months or so with all the problems it may cause in future (and you know it will, you just don't know when), pay the mechanics to replace it and wait for that day when all the shit goes down.
I think I know what option I would go with. And it makes perfect financial sense.
@@michalbrenda7879 it's only 3k to let all that stuff done in the video?
@@willemkanon4020 Agreed no way is that much work only 3k i would guess and it is a guess at 6-8k , so example a 2012 Golf Gti + say 6k will get you a 2015 Golf Gti. No brainer
I have a 2.0tfsi engine with 130,000 miles no oil consumption but i have changed the oil early since the beginning only using high quality oil. 2nd audi ive owned and never follow audi’s service interval. Always early oil changes and often. It helps a lot for these issues.
My Audi engine was rebuilt by an Audi dealer at 92 000 km free of charge, it’s now 173 0000 km I suspect it is maybe beginning to burn oil again?
That's insane the amount of work needed to repair oil burning.
The issue is actually really really small for the amount of work, it's the piston rings. Unfortunately, you need to take the engine apart to replace them so it's just better to overhaul it as you're already in there. VW upgraded the pistons and the rings after 2014.
German car junk.
But when you replace the engine, electrical system, suspension and transmission they run great.
Wow, very detailed. I imagine that this rebuild cost almost as much as a new engine?
If only. More like half the original sticker for the vehicle
Probably more
Just replace the engine with a 1.9 tdi 130hp mine has 600.000 km on the clock, never went to the mechanic
best engine ever produced...
Your bill after that process: $35000
That is if the Mechanic is your Cousin🥳
More like $7,000
@@really_rich8612 It is.. if that is your cousin like the guy said up there but in an official Audi mechanic it won't be that cheap
Yeah but this company is in Poland.. Repair a consumption oil in ea888 cost 2000$ here (new oil rings, pistons, rods and maybe timing chain) with parts. But i don't know how much it cost in Vag expert because they have advert in English language :) Its average prize.
These motors are built SH...
''Carefully handled to avoid scratches'', - proceeds to throw pistons into wash tank 04:07
I mean, what a channel name
So, 100,000 km and you throw the car away. Nice one VW, way to save the world.
Surprised no one has mentioned the plastic brittle pipes, pcv issues, plastic parts and cheapy build quality in parts of the engine which end up leading to these issues, oh the 4.0TT turbo issues ranging all the way back, door lock issues, the list goes on...and even with fixing some oil consumption, they still use a lot of oil for my liking, the amount of carbon you get when cleaning is a stupid amount...
All so true! But the power and operation is nice just like BMW motors only more economical
I had 3 cars with tsi engines. I never had an oil consumption. Well, it wasn't 0, but maximum 0,5 liter between services (every 30000). And I have to mention that i'm making over 80000 km per year. My strong advice to all TSI users is to always keep the engine revs above 2000 rpm. It is very important! Those engines hate low rpms.
Drive them hard. It's not for GRAND M/P Sunday driving
Because secon gen of engine had burning oil problem. First and third did't.
Thats why they use rings from first or third gen to fix the burning oil.
My golf 1.4 TSI is 10 yrs old. Worth about €5000. Last week I had my timing chain exchanged. Auxliary heater and AC repaired. This for a neat price of €3220. Should have smashed my car in a wall instead..
Prob. Paid 600€ just for the ac repair and new freon gases
Can't beat the 1.8T agu
That's a lie that TSI/TFSI engines consume oil because of pistons construstion.
They start eating oil because of too long changing oil intervals. Almost every engine will start oil consuming if you change oil just every 15 000 km.
Oil control rings and drainage of pistons just get coked. And usually professional decarbonization is enough to fix oil consuming.
Change motor oil in time (depends on your use conditions: warm/cold, traffic jam or highway and many another factors) (usually 5000 - 8000 km) and engine will work many hundreats km with no oil comsuming.
I checked it on some hundreats VAG engines with endoscope, client's feedback and laboratory and express spectral analyzes of used oil.
my mechanic told me to buy vw now i know why
$$$ :'D
If you are going to buy vw buy one with the 2.5 engine. Those babys are pretty reliable
I have a 2015 Quattro, same issue Dealer asked 10k to fix this
So if they know about this issue why is it up to us to pay to get it fixed when it’s an issue happening to many cars? That I don’t get
Because the bean counters at VAG headquarters did the math and realized the braindead consumers and badge whores that fall for the upmarketed "audi" rebrand will keep on throwing more cash at them than they will lose due to some costumers buying into other brands.
Might as well scrape the vehicle 😂😂😂
Joke audi no the problem but want fix it customer has to pay put me off buying audi
My wifes car had this same issue in a 2013 Audi A4. We were told the solution from Audi is to change the entire long block, fine by me I didn't have to pay.
That's not poor design. It's called planned obsolescence.
While this video is awesome, it would be a shame to spend all this time and labor effort to not build that engine and slap a big turbo on it.
And then your gearbox packed up 😏
It's DSG.... clutches worn out haha
You just don't get this on Korean or Japanese cars. German cars aren't worth the money or hassle.
I wish you guys have this service in Canada. I love what services tmyou provide. Love it! 👍👍
Any mechanic can do this
But at what costs?
@@dragospahontu if has knowledge , tools and is honest , but this is very rare
First make a crappy engine and let the customer suffer, then loot the customer again repairing it making your profit again, that is why people stay away from VAG cars in India!
Fact
stay away from these cars had bad experience owning a vw jetta .soo happy i own a honda accord which is a 11 year old car.
look at new honda civic 1.5 turbo u need to change oil every 10000tkm
@@Knorsky I change every 7000km, whats wrong with 10k km?
@@mr.superstar7919 nothing wrong with 10k but better question is what is wrong with 1.5t engine...
@@Knorsky I dont have it, however, Ive heard it consumes oil too. Mine 1.8 i-VTEC has 140 000km, doesnt eat a drop of oil. 😊
Yea it really ring some bell is it, own things with a bad history on an old expensive least reliable is just mind bogling
oil consumption issue is not on audi a4 from 2013 and higher. Issue was fixed in 2012
Unfortunately I'm in Thailand I want to fix this engine well. can you help
My brother has a 1.2 polo tsi, it has traveled 240 000 kilometers in 4 years. It has been very reliable and still is reliable. He has however noticed that 1st gear is not as powerful as before, other than that she still pulls hard.
you can use Bardhal additiv for benzine engine , maybe one injecter got to be lubrificated
This looks like it would cost more than what the car is worth.
In saying that, I wish I could get this kind of work done to my 230,000 KM engine.
Professional work is always appreciated.
I know where to send my car in the future.
Greetings from Norway :D
if it's not done by warranty , then most likely you'll patch it and sell it . but the work being done is honorable on their part . but why didn't vag recall the problematic cars ? and fix their issue on their money :D
It’s got everything to do with that Vorsprung Durch Teqnik. The fancy way to say expensive money pit.
Thank God I bought a Skoda Octavia 2019 TFI but after watching this video what a joke you might as well scrap the car
The only car vag was great for us with a 1.9 TDI engine. Especially those made between 1999-2004. After that was a massive downgrade regarding reliability. Such a shame.
as a owner of a 1.8tsi leon II i agree with most of the video. TBH the engine is awesome when it works fine. The oil consumption issue can be mitigated with frequent oil changes with good quality oil. I really think that VW overestimates the service intervals. 15k km is just way too much, and sometimes they recommend even 25k km. On my car the previous owner changed the oil every 10k with very good quality oil, and the first thing i did when i bought it was a oil change with a good engine flush. At 90k the car uses about 1l of oil every 4k km.
1liter per 4 km is bad ,engine is kaput !
So the Audi's and VW made before 2008 would be ok?
lol no, plenty of issues too, either you're into mechanics and know your engine code and it's common problems or you're ripe for having your wallet raped...
Go to the netherlands (google for it...) and maintain the engine in case of oil consumption. Costs of about 3 K€. Now after 40.000 km I can assume no oil consumption any longer and engine runs perfectly. The question is what of these services in the video above are necessary and which of them are nice to have. Finally in my case I spent 3 k€ instead of 7 K€ estimated by Skoda and I have to admit the guys in the netherlands are experts. They do only this kind of work every day.
ah, volkswagen, you never cease to amaze me......
Great video and explanation for a poorly built car
I have VW Tiguan 2008 tdi 140hp more than 8 years, Zero problems, only normal services.
Also have a VW CC 2015 tdi 177hp, monster car (for that level), more then 3 years, Big Zero problems..
For both I change oil, filters (Engine oil Liqui Moly, Bosch filters ) & Additive Liqui Moly (DPF cleaner, Desisel additive, etc..) each 6 months by myself.
THERE IS NO PERFECT CAR..
Just take care for her, and she will serve more..
Enjoy your car 😊
TDI is not the same as TSI or TFSI
Ale Firme macie zajebista, tyle sprzetu i maszyn, cos pieknego !
Rebuild necessary every 30000kms. Good luck with Audi......
Does anyone feel it might be better to take "A MATCH" to the engine if it needed all this overhaul? 🤣 Anyways, a very informative video! Thank you Vag-Expert.
This is amazing but how much would something like this cost to have done?
And how much did all this cost ? Like 3-5 k $ ? like a whole car ? :D
Those cars are worth 30-40-50k$ new, and 10-15-20k $ used depending on mileage and year, so rebuilding the engine for 3-5k$ is reasonable for some cars and people, this rebuild done right will last until the car rusts completely and is thrown away.

so yet again a manufacturer builds defects into a vehicle ,you pay for that defect by buying the car, then the next owner of that car has two choices pay a fortune for someone's design fault to be repaired or scrap the car . thanks vw yet another german VAG disgrace
well, im a vag expert too. just cant fix cars that well
How I wish we had such service from some of our vw/ Audi dealers or specialists in my country 🇿🇦. An engine overhaul is very expensive in south Africa. I own a 2012 Audi Q5 2.0 TFSI with 133000 km, so far I haven't had huge oil consumption issues.
My 1.8 tfsi 2009 has been flawless with no problems at all, But suddenly at 150.000 km my timing chain collapsed. My oil consumption has also gone up. It consumes oil like I drink water.
VAG-Expect in Menlyn(On top of Glasfit), Pretoria will help.
Dealer, won't help, even if you have a warranty. You'd first have to pay a fee for an oil consumption test, then they still end up taking your car to a 2rd party workshop like these featured in this video
I'm also struggling here with my Audi , I'm basically used 4 litres oil over 1500km (ok, driving hard though) but it's more embarrassing than anything else, Clean Audi that smokes uphill
You actually better off taking your Audi to one these approved 2rd party workshops that can service or overhaul your motor and still charge on the warranty, excess of R80K
which the warranty might not completely cover
It's joke that a company can get away with shit like this....
Iv got a 1.4tsi and its constant issues!!!
really? What vehicle and problems it has?
Brilliant I'll just do this quick fix in my drive.... Looks as easy as changing a wheel.... What could go wrong
My father in law is about to figure this out for himself...poor guy. First he thought it was the plugs, then He thought it was an injector and now he knows that cylinder one is toast with almost zero compression. He thinks it might just need new rings but I don't think that is going to do it. Only a little over 125,000 km and I think the engine is toast.

Porządne maszyny
I'm my last year working for Audi I must have done over 100 of these jobs.....well pistons and rings replacement jobs.......got really good at it too ...took me 9hrs from the time I pulled the car into the bay to the time I drove it out ....each job paid 26hrs flat rate....made a ton of money but I got burnt out eventually...engine out and on the stand in 2hrs. B8 A4, A5 and Q5...did a Q7 3.0T too, that was fun as well... not
So they charged the customer 26 hours for 9 hours work?
So essentially never buy an car/engine with these pistons, and if you already have one then sell it asap
Keep your oil changes every 6 months prevent this from happening
In those cases, its safer to sell those cars and buy a Toyota or a lexus!
The new ea888 is really fast
Where are you guys located? I would like to take my car there for repair.
thank you
I am curious to what would it cost on such a beautiful engine rebuild

I put je pistons in my s3 my 2010 and I make 530ps at the wheel and never have problem oil but this car is not for every day using like all tuning cars
Beatifull work, do you have any repair shops in the USA?
I thought they fixed this issue from 2012 onwards?! Check your engine codes.
Poooorly design - VW shame
Makes one wonder why it took them 5ys to correct the issue. 2009-2014. I actually did a total rebuild on a 2009 2.0
Audi A4 and mow has 30k miles and no oil leak or burn issue. The number one problem is the oils change interval should never be more than 3k. The carbon in the oil does a lot of damage. They won’t admit to this but this is a key factor.
Hi. Are you from England?
@@M3RT85
No. I’m from United States of America
Good job , the only problem customer has to spent money but factory is responsible
This is why I go buy a Japanese car!
2008 Acura TL , zero oil burn for 24 k between oil changes
This makes no sense. We all know that just as you install the overhauled engine back in the Audi, something else on the car will fail. Best car is one with a German body and a Japanese engine and electronics
Like a BMW with a Honda K24?
I could get on board with that.
Worked at VW Chattanooga manufacturing plant, bought a brand new ‘15 model Passat, and it started burning oil profusely at 80k miles. I was told that was normal, just keep an eye on it and change the oil regularly, topping it off between changes. The engine made it to 148k and blew up right before this past Christmas, lost all compression on the #3 hole. Lean condition caused by excessive oil consumption caused a hole to burn through an exhaust valve in that cylinder. Pulled the head and all the cylinder walls are trashed, the coolant that filled one of the cylinder bores leaked right past the rings and into the oil pan before it could even be sucked out with a shop vac. Sucks that we paid this thing off and was going to hand it down to our son for his first car but now it’s just a junk pile. No one wants to work in it, no one here in the US seems to rebuild these engines. All I’ve been told is to replace it with a new or used unit. Can’t see spending more than the car is worth to do that. When I look on FB marketplace all I see are blown up Passats for parts, don’t seem like you can hardly give them away. What a shame, $25k down the toilet. Should have bought another Chevy. We just replaced this car with a new Mazda today, hopefully have better luck with it.
Funny my Ibiza Cupra from 2016 has never used oil. Changing after every 15000 km and never have to add up any oil between.
thats good. its amazing they took so long to redesign the issues in pistons and rings. Why 8 years later???
honestly i don't think you could do a better job absolutely amazing work
Just buy a new engine ! 😂 😂
Sir....I for the States, I sure wish I could send you my 212 TSI engine for you to rebuild. The car and it's body are in perfect condition, worthy of one of you rebuilds. Enjoyed your video, any USA service suggestions, please reach out, thank you ! jim
VW and Audi = Lots of $€£ for mechanics.
Poor engine engineering.
I work during the day and in the evening I hang out at a mechanic shop here near Milan. Guess what cars are always there? Yes, you guessed it: Audis, BMWs and VWs.
Guess which cars cost less to maintain and have less problems? Toyota and Renault.
Production of shame....
Sounds like they designed this on purpose. Its planned obsolescence. If its designed to break, then thats $$$ when you buy a replacement.
