I bought one of these with a 6mt. Very happy so far.
Considering buying an 2024 S or Sport 6MT. Some info online suggests this is the last year for the 6MT (possibly except in the GLI)
What do you think of all that rev hang?
@juice7661 I've gotten used to it. Not that bad. Besides, it's a commuter car, not a track day machine.
@@Cimone90 Yeah sure, I mean its not an issue if you're just shifting like a normal person through traffic, but its REALLY annoying if you're using the entire rev range, like say you take it to 6k then you have to kind of wait a minute or else you know its a wonky shift into the next gear.
@juice7661 weirdly, I actually find it less noticeable if I'm driving it hard. The revs fall off faster if you're shifting out at the top of the rev range. My 2017 gti was the same. That one I put a lightweight flywheel in because I wanted to properly fix the rev hang, but it felt very similar to this jetta before I did that
thanks for all the info
Is it all aluminum engine block with just iron cast 3 mm cylinders? Like on Hyundai
slight correction, the water pump is not electrically driven, at least not the primary. The primary water pump is on the driver side, driven off of the exhaust camshaft with a toothed belt. There is a secondary electric pump at the front of the engine under the charge air cooler, the purpose of that pump is to circulate the coolant through the charge air cooler, as well as turbo. It's a separate loop, albeit connected to the primary. The electric pump allows for coolant flow through the turbo after shutdown as well as tigher control over intake air temp.
Can you do the VW Jetta gli EA888 engine?
Nothing wrong with a well done/engineered setup
I am moving from TN to MN in a month and I have a 2023 Jetta. Does it have an engine block heater already installed? If so, where do you plug it in? If not, can you help me determine what kind of engine block heater to purchase and where to install it?
To be honest I wouldn’t worry about that - especially if you’re moving to Minneapolis-St Paul. Block heaters are actually not as common as you may think throughout the upper Midwest and I’ve personally never had nor needed one on a car. Also it’s presently 30 degrees where I live in MN, 70 miles south of Manitoba. Our winters are becoming more and more mild.
Just drove it today after driving a gli. I was actually pretty impressed with the power and sound in sport mode. Was it the gli? No..but i liked it a lot.
We tend to concur. Some of the first Buddack Cycle gas turbo engines coming off the TDI scandal in 2016-2018 were pretty un-enjoyable but the latest 1.5 has ironed out most of the dullness and lack of willingness - actually feels kind of fun.
@@TDTVGarageAgreed. I also enjoyed the transmission..pretty snappy. I'd like to see what a tune will achieve with this engine.
@@cfairfax85I can imagine a tune would make it very similar to a gli without having to worry about issues with the dual clutch transmission
Head gasket failures are being reported on the VW Taos that has this same engine.
Gives me pause about buying one now🤷🏻♂️
My 22 Jetta just blew the head gasket at 36k
@@marcusakers7245 the 1.5L engine?
@@auxmike718 yup.
I’m at 40k on my 24 Taos (I drive a lot for work) and I haven’t had any issues
23 jetta sport here. My fuel injector was plugged at 18k. covered by warranty. Only issue i have had yet
Very informative. Thank you, sir. I am planning on getting a new Jetta, and if like to ask you a question if you don't mind: how's this engine's quality in relation to the older 1.4L turbo in the 2019 re-design?
Mainly, I'm wondering if the new engine handles carbon build up from the inclusion of a turbo charger better. From what I've read, it appears that a series of short drives that don't allow the engine oil to get to its needed 220-60 degree Fahrenheit temperature can exacerbate this problem? My job is a short 10 minutes away, so I'd fall into that regular trip category that would allow the after 15 minutes of driving needed to get the oil up to optimal operating temperature.
Thanks again!
how about a bicycle?
Don’t overthink stuff lol. Carbon build is not a problem and you will just need to service it about every 75k. It is not a big deal at all really. More importantly do oil changes at 5-6k max and change fluids around 75k.
Carbon build up on the valves is very very slow and non-threatning to the engine. It starts to show up after 100K miles and can be remedied without opening the engine.
@@calebniederhofer6529 5-6k miles or kilometers?
I had a 2019 and traded it away with 140,000km on it. Never any issue with the engine or how it performed
I have a 2020 Jetta R . Mine has a belt timing belt. Does the 1.5T have a belt or metal timing belt? p.s. I love my car but considering trading when the warranty is up.
There is not a metal timing belt.
@@calebniederhofer6529 Thanks!
It's a belt, but has no replacement interval. 150k inspection, and then every dozen thousand miles afterwards.
@@rudolphna54 People get way too caught up in nothing burgers lol. Any belt will at some point fail and need to be inspected. That is normal maintenance. People will make a big deal about a belt inspection, but not the thousands in electronics, that can fail lol.
@calebniederhofer6529 agreed. I would rather replace a belt.
I just replaced the chain in my daughter's Pontiac Vibe. The Belt on my Pilot was much easier to change. I also have a 2017 Jetta 1.4L
I am about to buy myself a 2024 Jetta with the 1.5l. We'll see how it goes.
is there timing belt or chain? Interference engine or not?
ea211 engine introduced around 2013 is belt, this is one of his variations. The previous ea111 was chain
I asked a Volkswagen dealer they told me they went back to chain who knows.
It’s a belt.
Is there a tune available for this motor yet??
No ECM tune yet. But I hear the JB4 adds some good power though.
@@jeffbauer3425 It actually really does, especially the 93 map. It basically is right there with a Civic SI 1.5 stock dyno, maybe even a little better in the torque numbers.
@@calebniederhofer6529 By what tuner co.?
not yet tuned, this is dxdb, ea211evo2.
So does it have a timing chain or belt?
belt
Has anyone found aftermarket intake for this 1.5t? Has anyone filled up with 93 octane and notice a difference?
it's the same engine for T-roc and some golf 8. plenty of compatible aftermarket intakes for it. Forge FMINDK35 works for it
Any difference you think you feel with 93 octane is purely in your head. It doesn't make any noticeable difference.
@@Cimone90 Wrong, 93 will provide an undeniable difference in horsepower but, without a tune you may only get about 5hp and wether you can feel the difference of 5hp or not is very debatable.
@@juice7661 ok champ
Is it the same engine as the european version?
It memory serves there are some differences in the EU version, but we don't remember what.
I wonder if it has that management cylinder systems where it runs on two cylinders sometimes.
this is EA211 EVO 2, it has the updated version so its eco management is even better supposedly
so it's a good one???
These are SO hard to find in America with manual transmissions!🤷🏻♂️
I got my hands on one in Canada.
Can you put 87 gas in this car?
Yes
you askin the right questions ma brother in christ
Hello@@TDTVGarage , what gas would you recommend? Thanks
No Turbos for me, Mazda 2.5 all the way
Good engine. Awful driving dynamics.
Owned a few gym cars with Torsen beam suspension… not impressed
Timing belt or chain?
The 2022/23 Jetta 1.5 has a timing belt with a recommended service interval of 60K miles.
@@chrisschuffler8870 The Exact reason why I love my 13 focus Duratec Motor- No Turbo, No timing belt, External Water pump and gets 38mpgs, and plus easy to service. This thing looks like a nightmare to work on!!!
@@es-qf2gw no offense but those years of focus’s are one of the biggest pieces of shit ever created unless you get a manual, I’ve seen people go through as many as 7 transmission jobs in less then 150k miles, would much rather have a Jetta it didn’t look that complicated
@@cartere9981 actually I do have the MTX75 5speed manual transmission in my focus. It makes the world of difference!
@@es-qf2gw He's actually incorrect. In the US at least, there is no recommended interval on the timing belt. They are kevlar reinforced EPDM and the only service in the manual in inspection at 150k miles and every dozen or so thousand miles afterwards.
