I've owned my 09 CC since 2012. Certified Pre-Owned, lease return with 30k miles on it at 3 years old and it has been a piece of shit ever since. Fit and finish are terrible. The a/c vents on the dash have disintegrated because of very low UV resistance. The headliner is falling off. I had to do a complete top-end rebuild because of a defective cam chain tensioner design. The EPC keeps faulting and stranding me on the side of the road. No way to determine if it's the pedal or the throttle body. Three VW dealerships have not been able to get the alignment right and I can't get 30,000 miles out of a set of tires. I've tried the cheapest tires and the top of the line tires and none last. I'm meticulous with my maintenance and I do my own. I use OEM VW replacement parts, Mann filters and Liqui-Moly 5W40 Liechtlauf oil, so the tensioner failure was not a result fo lack of maintenance. I'd be willing to bet money that there isn't a 2.0TSI out there built from 2009-2012 that hasn't shit the bed, due to balance shaft, or cam tensioner failures, HPFP failures and water pump failures.

The 1.2L TSI Polo's can still suffer from DSG problems 'and' timing chain and tensioner issues. It's just that the 1.4 TSI engine gets most of the complaints and drowns out feedback on the smaller engine. Listen for timing chain rattle when the Polo first starts. They soon quiet down as they get oil pressure but any noise is indicative of a worn chain, tensioner, and guides. I have a 1.2L Polo and a 1.4 twin charged GTI polo.
I have a passat b6 1.4 122 i find this engine brilliant. Very refined engine. Seemed reliable didnt give any trouble but i have it serviced regularly. Plenty of power for what it is and easy on fuel. Theyre great when minded. Have it for over 296,000k so far and still alive. I would definitely concider the same engine again.
390hp and 400 torque on my 2.0 TSI. Strong as hell. Never had issues with any of my VW motors. 01' Passat 1.8T, 02' GTI VR6, 13' CC VR6, 12' Golf R 2.0T, 16' GTI 2.0T, 17' Golf R 2.0T and the fam had an 07' Rabbit 2.5L, an 04 Golf 1.9 TDI and 05 Jetta 1.9 TDI. ALL WITH NO PROBLEMS. Don't be turds and your car will be good to you.
In my experience this engine is very reliable, however, I do change my oil every 5000 miles and use Shell gas. Currently, I have 92,000 miles on my Audi A5 with the 2.0 TFSI engine.
@@SharkFishSF I've not and my car is at 200k, runs like it did at 40k. Frequent oil changes are important though like Matthew mentioned, every 10 as per the manual is too far apart
That doesn't mean that chains are bad. People always say that it's because of the oil change. But none of that is true. In the early days, so-called toothed chains were used. These are characterised by the fact that they are quieter than roller chains. However, they cannot transmit torque and wear out more quickly under heavy use. If the start-stop system stops the engine at every traffic light, this fragile system is overloaded. This is because the torque is greatest at the moment when the engine is started. In addition, the chain tensioner is insufficient. It depends on the oil pressure. When the engine is at a standstill, there is no pressure. The chain is therefore subjected to even more stress. The result is then that you can easily observe today. VW now offers a conversion kit for a roller chain. Why not do it like this?
@@Pingu1302 I did it like THIS: Bought an OBD Eleven device & shut of that stupid Start-Stop function on my precious GTI Clubsport MK7. Check the build on my channel! 👍
Had a test drive with the VW 1.0 TSI just the other day. 115 hp / 200nm torque out of just 1 litres in 3 cylinders with a turbo. Whatever you have to say about downsizing - and I really didnt expect much myself - but that engine is just amazing considering its laughable specs.
Have a 2016 tsi golf. 189kkm Turbo was replaced before I got the car at 50k in jan of 2018. No real issues so far, but I've done the 2 tuneups that were schedules where they swapped the pistons. Breaks and the regular stuff. No real technical issues (knock on wood) I did have this leak in the boot, took me a while to find out where it was coming from. Stupid valve thigs under the rear bumper. But still runs good, for now.
Hey guys, so im looking on to buy a jetta 1.4 tsi or an eos with the same engine. Are there any specific things or problems i should know and be aware of this engine?
Not really mine is lasting really well. Best to fill with good premium gasoline, check oil temp at least 75C (167F) before revving hard. Nice to drive, early boost and mid-range grunt.
All in all, these are pretty versatile engines seeing as how they are in almost everything Audi/VW makes from standard commuter cars to hot hatches and in many different states of tune. While they have their flaws and there are a few basket case TSIs, they are good engines when properly maintained. You can also get some substantial power increases from just the software.
maybe it is a powerful engine with low consumption, but reliability is terrible and the engine breaks down fast. there are a lot of defects in this engine.
@@miloo111 cant be the only lucky dude in the comment section, alot of comments vouch for this engine i think it has a bad rep, e.g. bmw are known to spotaneously combust into flames, doesnt mean all bmw will combust
I’m a big fan of VW/Audi. My only concern is the potential (probably inevitable) combined effect of GDI + PCV = carbon buildup on the intake valves due no fuel in the intake manifold to clean the intake valves. Need to move to duel injector per cylinder tech (one GDI + one pre-intake valve) like some mfgs are starting to move to. God bless!
You're right. Ford tried direct fuel injection. But carbon buildup on the valves caused issues. So, they actually fixed it by adding 8 more port injectors to thier mustang v-8's.
This must be one of the most unreliable VW engines ever built (one tiny timing chain tensioner part can cripple the entire engine). They also forgot to mention the results of direct injection, i.e. eventual carbon fouling of the intake ducts and valves, leading to a drop in power and the need for expensive cleaning, now done in-situ using wallnut blasting.
@@em4703 yes, and no, 'conventional' injection injects fuel behind the intake valves, this constant stream of fuel past the valves cleans off deposits This doesn't happen with direct injection, as a result oil deposits collect in the intake port and on the intake valves, fouling both.
2012 VW GLI 2.0 TSI: New waterpump, high pressure fuel pump, 2 intake manifolds, camshaft replacement, new cambridge due to oil screen falling out, 2 fuel injectors, gas leakage from manifold, misfiring due to carbon buildup, traded it in before having to replace the timing chain seals and timing chain tensioner which would have cost around $2500. Not a reliable engine...
I have a 2018 golf tsi and I’m trying to get some more power out of it without voiding the warranty. I know it isn’t the best car to put money into but I’m not looking for anything crazy but does anyone have any advice? I just don’t know what I can do without messing up the warranty
From what I’ve seen, a more free-flowing exhaust system is the easiest way to make more power without voiding the warranty. AWE makes a nice one that greatly reduces back pressure as well as weight. A proper cold air intake (APR, CTS, etc.) would help as well but I’m not 100% sure if they void the warranty or not. A drop in air filter would give improved airflow and would not void the warranty. Unfortunately, you’re not going to get much more than an additional 5-15 HP from these. They will mainly improve response and sound. Having the power come on quicker and louder will make the car feel faster and more fun. While ECU tunes greatly improve power, they void the warranty. Also, if yours is a gti, it’s actually a pretty solid car to upgrade.

Where is the 2l/1000 oil consumption presenation?
Not, because the actual oil consumption is around 1L per 10000 km?
Had a test drive with the VW 1.0 TSI just the other day. 115 hp / 200nm torque out of just 1 litres in 3 cylinders with a turbo. Whatever you have to say about downsizing - and I really didnt expect much myself - but that engine is just amazing considering its laughable specs.
I hate 3 cylinders
Where is the follow up animation for stage 2 tune to get another 100bhp? 😊

Forgot to say that you will need to carry oil with you at all times and to add 2 liters every 1000 km.
Bloody true
That was a Gen 2 issue. From 2013-2015 it shouldn't happen anymore.

Owing VW with the TSI engine really made me consider to buy an electric car for the next one.

Did they ever actually say “Turbo stratified injection” which is what TSI actually stand for???
It does not, as you can hear from the video TSI actually stands for "Modern petrol engines from Volkswagen"

No real issues so far, but I've done the 2 tuneups that were schedules where they swapped the pistons. Breaks and the regular stuff. No real technical issues (knock on wood)

Hey guys, so im looking on to buy a jetta 1.4 tsi or an eos with the same engine. Are there any specific things or problems i should know and be aware of this engine?
Not really mine is lasting really well. Best to fill with good premium gasoline, check oil temp at least 75C (167F) before revving hard. Nice to drive, early boost and mid-range grunt.

All in all, these are pretty versatile engines seeing as how they are in almost everything Audi/VW makes from standard commuter cars to hot hatches and in many different states of tune. While they have their flaws and there are a few basket case TSIs, they are good engines when properly maintained. You can also get some substantial power increases from just the software.
Never that no decent engine u may say so maybe u one of the engineers of this endless money pit plastics
Anyone got a location on 139-1 coolant temp diag sensor?
Cool until you get a check engine light that indicates you need to get your turbo replaced. $2,700 to replace by the way.
Jake H ahh no its 1100.00 from the dealer

Reliably expensive after just 130.000 km :)
Meanwhile 30 years old tdi engines makes 600.000km easily and still working. Clearly someone somewhere makes mistake.
It's not a mistake, when stuff goes wrong they get ur money 🤑
maybe it is a powerful engine with low consumption, but reliability is terrible and the engine breaks down fast. there are a lot of defects in this engine.
Such as?? I have a 10 year old 1.4 tsi with almost 147k miles on the clock and still pulls like a dream and is in good condition with little matenance
@@oppoh739 you're just lucky bro
@@miloo111 cant be the only lucky dude in the comment section, alot of comments vouch for this engine i think it has a bad rep, e.g. bmw are known to spotaneously combust into flames, doesnt mean all bmw will combust
@@oppoh739 speak for yourself and buy yourself a pair of glasses while you're at it
great engine
I’m a big fan of VW/Audi. My only concern is the potential (probably inevitable) combined effect of GDI + PCV = carbon buildup on the intake valves due no fuel in the intake manifold to clean the intake valves. Need to move to duel injector per cylinder tech (one GDI + one pre-intake valve) like some mfgs are starting to move to. God bless!
You're right. Ford tried direct fuel injection. But carbon buildup on the valves caused issues. So, they actually fixed it by adding 8 more port injectors to thier mustang v-8's.
You can modify the new 2.0T for dual injection very easily. It's got the ports in the intake manifold already since they use them in Europe
Where's the animation of the turbo blowing up?
Lol
This must be one of the most unreliable VW engines ever built (one tiny timing chain tensioner part can cripple the entire engine). They also forgot to mention the results of direct injection, i.e. eventual carbon fouling of the intake ducts and valves, leading to a drop in power and the need for expensive cleaning, now done in-situ using wallnut blasting.
Direct injection doesn't create fouling. EGR and crankcase ventilation tube going into the intake does.
@@em4703 yes, and no, 'conventional' injection injects fuel behind the intake valves, this constant stream of fuel past the valves cleans off deposits This doesn't happen with direct injection, as a result oil deposits collect in the intake port and on the intake valves, fouling both.
Belt driven TSIs are good
Reliable technology hahahaha
CADE OS MOTORES A GNV ?
And let's not forget carbon build-up
What do you get when you put a turbo in small engine? Power, Fuel economy and more time at the service centre.
We have a gli 35th anniversary and it’s really cool 😎
Scotty Kilmer; Endless money pit
Rev up your engine rebuilds
But injection in TSI does not happen at intake stroke, does it?
2012 VW GLI 2.0 TSI: New waterpump, high pressure fuel pump, 2 intake manifolds, camshaft replacement, new cambridge due to oil screen falling out, 2 fuel injectors, gas leakage from manifold, misfiring due to carbon buildup, traded it in before having to replace the timing chain seals and timing chain tensioner which would have cost around $2500. Not a reliable engine...

I have a 2018 golf tsi and I’m trying to get some more power out of it without voiding the warranty. I know it isn’t the best car to put money into but I’m not looking for anything crazy but does anyone have any advice? I just don’t know what I can do without messing up the warranty
From what I’ve seen, a more free-flowing exhaust system is the easiest way to make more power without voiding the warranty. AWE makes a nice one that greatly reduces back pressure as well as weight. A proper cold air intake (APR, CTS, etc.) would help as well but I’m not 100% sure if they void the warranty or not. A drop in air filter would give improved airflow and would not void the warranty. Unfortunately, you’re not going to get much more than an additional 5-15 HP from these. They will mainly improve response and sound. Having the power come on quicker and louder will make the car feel faster and more fun. While ECU tunes greatly improve power, they void the warranty. Also, if yours is a gti, it’s actually a pretty solid car to upgrade.
so why does the gen 3 engine in my polo gti get the same mpg as a hummer?
Probably because you drive like it's a hummer
Because you floor it at every red light

'Realible' 1.4 CAVD and CAVE...
Reliable, dependable, quick.
Dues: Read the owners Manuel, Change The air intake filter every 4 months. Get a oil change every 4k miles or less.
Get A new battery 18-24 months. epc light may engage if you don't.
1 top of the oil essential because the turbo needs oil and its physically located on top of this engine so its in needs of a full supply as not to lack in the engine. Hence epc may come on.
2 fresh air intake filter EPC again may come if you don't change it. remove the filter/clean by tossing it on the ground dust will loosen put it back in and the engine will breath better. epc fix!
third new batterie. all those things keep me Wagoning along volks.
Oil change every 4k Miles or less...:)))))))))))))
