Hello everybody, I'm thinking about buying a used Golf TSI with the 1.8 EA888 gen 3 engine, manufactured in 2014 or 2015, with a 5 speed manual transmission. Is there any info on the reliabiliy of this engine / model ?
Specifically, I read somewhere about a bad batch of turbos on early production engines, but I'm not sure if that was for the 1.8 in the TSI, or for the 2.0 in the GTI ? Any other major problems with this engine, such as the timing chain etc. ? Thanks for the info.
