Major problems and weaknesses. Are TSI engines reliable? Main problems and weaknesses Description of the engine Sakha 1.4 TSI

In 2007, engineers of German automotive company Volkswagen. On the basis of the Hatchback Volkswagen Golf was designed principled new car - VW Tiguan. Thanks to the impeccable reputation of the progenitor, the SUV in a short period of time won universal recognition. True, according to the results of 2014, Tiguan lost two first positions on the pedestal of popularity to their competitors Honda CR-V And Toyota RAV4. Already in 2015, the manufacturer announces the start of the production of the second generation of the SUV. The exclusive novelty was able to breed the market segment.

Today the car is collected not only in Germany, but also in Russia, in the city of Kaluga. German company increased its power potential on domestic car market, thereby heated additional interest in the SUV russian buyer. Before purchasing an expensive car, it is advisable not only to get acquainted with its operational properties, but also by the indicators of reliability and durability. Next, we define what is the actual engine resource on Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4, 2.0.

A variety of motor line

Volkswagen Tiguan motor gamma represents turbocharged power units with a working volume of 1.4 and 2.0 liters. Engine 1.4 TSI with a capacity of 122 and 150 hp Also installed on. Gasoline engines are distinguished by excellent technical characteristics and a fairly large resource. As practice shows, power plants from the VW Tiguan line are capable of passing 300 or more than thousands of km. Motor 2.0 TSI is made of a cast iron block of cylinders and an aluminum head.

There are several of its modifications that differ in its nominal capacity - 170 and 200 horse power. Also the buyer is available to choose a diesel equivalent. Cardinal structural differences between engines do not detect. The difference lies in the fact that the 170-strong version is functioning due to the BorgWarner KO3 turbine, and KO4 is installed on a more powerful analogue.

Some construction features Motors VW Tiguan:

  • Degree of compression 10.5;
  • Number of valves - 16;
  • The presence of a DOHC / belt;
  • Ecological class corresponding to the norms of Euro-5.

The first generation of "Tiguan" was equipped with a 6-speed hydromechanical machine, and the subsequent generation had acquired a 7-speed DSG robot. The transmission of the SUV is known not only to high-quality assembly, but also silent work. At the stage of overclocking the car, engine operation is muted, and on the cruise velocity only noise published by tires.

How many "walks" the engine on Volkswagen Tiguan

In order to understand what is the actual engine resource on Volkswagen Tiguan, it is necessary to understand more in more detail in their constructive features. The bulk of the owners of modification with a 1.4-liter engine complains about the designs of the designers in the strength piston group. In particular, the piston itself, which due to excessive loads and high temperatures fails prematurely. The first problems with this constructive element The power unit may arise at the turn of 100 thousand km. Also at this stage, it is advisable to follow the state of the timing chain. Turbodiesel 2.0 TDI instead of the chain has a belt. Over the state of the TRV drive must be monitored in the most thorough way. The breakdown of this element leads to unpleasant consequences - the valve bent. As you know, repair and maintenance of German SUVs - the pleasure is not cheap.

When passing the first 150,000 km observed increased flow Oils - It is necessary to replace the oil-changing rings or valves. Diesel 2.0-liter engines won in terms of actual resource from gasoline analogs. But it is worth saying that problems with the pump in some cases cannot be avoided. The reason for this becomes fuel low quality. Professionals are recommended to constantly monitor the status of the pusher of the fuel pump, it is best to carry out a comprehensive diagnosis after every 20-30 thousand km.

Total Next: 1.4-liter petrol motor able to pass about 300 thousand kilometers of the path, provided that regular maintenance. Diesel analogue up to the first overhaul undergoing over 350,000 km.

Review of owners about the resource of the power unit

Both travels are high-quality and reliable, differ in high speed characteristics, but extremely demanding on the quality of fuel and engine oil refilled, sensitive to coolant. For all three components, it is necessary to closely, otherwise they will have to be invested in expensive repair of the car. We now turn directly to the reviews of the owners of Volkswagen Tiguan, experimental by determining the duration of the ill-condition work of the main power unit of the car.

Engine 1.4.

  1. Mikhail, Voronezh. It remained unhappy with the acquisition of a representative of the German car industry with a 1.4-liter engine. The motor does not cope at all with his tasks, Volkswagen Golf with the same engine was several times in beyrea. Plus to everything dubious build quality and a very funny resource. I have Tiguan 2010 and for all this time in repair invested the amount of the equivalent cost of the car. From constant detonations on the pistons break the edges under the rings. Very demanding on the quality of the fuel car.
  2. Maxim, Yalta. The SUV as a whole was satisfied, but there is one big but. 1.4 TSI engine frankly speaking too weak and unreliable. For such a Mahina, a minimum is needed 1.6 liters and not 150 hp In the morning the car has to start as our AvtoVAZ. I refuel at LUKOIL AI-95, as recommended by the manufacturer. The chain is simply terrible, flew, without passing 80 thousand km. The engine is constantly gluch on traffic lights, at any time he could start tall. In general, I sold this car and began to sleep well.
  3. Stanislav, Vladivostok. I go to Volkswagen Tiguan since 2009. When 110 thousand miles came up to the mark, problems with chain began. I quickly replaced, no longer had no breakdown. For the year behind the wheel of an SUV - only positive impressions. Those who love to put pressure on the gay from the start, this car is definitely not suitable. With such a mass and power, the circuit flies at times.
  4. Egor, Moscow. Driving from 2015. Screw during this time 70 thousand km. The warranty changed the thermostat, and the crack was formed in the intake manifold. With the launch during the frost there are no problems, the suspension of the highest level. Motor resource 1.4 TSI is too dependent on the quality of gasoline. Any unsuccessful refueling can turn into trouble. Too late I was opened by the mystery - the aluminum unit and the plasma spraying "live" with our combustible 100 thousand km.

Power unit volume of 1.4 liters of good in its characteristics. However, it is too dependent on the quality of fuel refilling, maintenance of maintenance and many other external factors. Not the most successful development of German engineers, which is confirmed by the reviews of the former and current owners of Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4.

Engine 2.0

  1. Nikolai. Urengoy. Since 2008, exploiting the German SUV with diesel engine. When passed, 170,000 km decided to replace the timing belt with rollers and pomp. Now the car starts even better even at -30. On the notes of drivers: diesel win in terms of resource at a gasoline analogue under the same operating conditions and equal working volume.
  2. Sergei. Moscow. During the choice of VW Tiguan paid much attention Engine quality. After reviewing a large amount of information, it came to the conclusion that the 2.0-liter motor resource is significantly higher, which is less voluminous analogs. In practice, everything was confirmed - the chain for the first 200 thousand km does not submit any signals. The main thing is to refuel on proven gas stations and use certified oil.
  3. Alexey, St. Petersburg. I have a car 2017, diesel 2.0. Before buying, communicated with competent people on the reliability of Tiguan's motors. People said the chain resource is about 300 thousand km, that is, almost to the first capitals. The turbine passes even more, done all at a high level. Much depends on the quality of the consumables themselves and planned service Auto.
  4. Matvey. Cheboksary. Ask the experienced owner of VW Tiguan, which modification of reliable, it will answer you - two-liter. I myself personally saw the car past more than 300 thousand. The resource depends on the driving style, the first 200 thousand km in general pass without any problems with adequate driving.

Many car owners agreed in a single opinion that the 2-liter power point It is more reliable and resistant to unfavorable operating conditions. Numerous studies also confirm the fact that in practice the Volkswagen Tiguan 2.0 engine resource is more than 300 thousand kilometers.

Question from the reader:

« Dear Blog author, now sold his car and select a new one, very much, but she has two engines, one without a turbine (I don't really want, because weak) and the TSI engine (powerful, but with a turbine). There are many different opinions. Tell me, is it reliable if TSI engines and whether to take it? Thanks in advance, Gaidar»

Good day, the question is interesting, I already wrote. However, today is locally about this model ...


Reliability common atmospheric engine It will be higher than the turbocharged is an axiom. Therefore, if you want to ride a long time and not to look at "additional" problems, take the usual option. However, you will drive like a "vegetable" (locally about Skoda Rapid), all because the power of the usual unit - 102 hp Little! If we consider that classmates, such as, for example, Hyundai Solaris. - Power of about 120 hp. (if you do not consider AVEO), and the difference in 20 hp Significant! That wants our people not to be "outcast" in the stream and looks at TSI.

About turbine

It should be noted that the engines that are supplied to this version of the car have a volume of 1.4 liters (power of 90 kW, which corresponds to about 122 hp, well, can a little more). However, this motor has variations in 140, and in 180 hp, it seems to be the same, but the power is much more. If you calculate the variations of such an engine, their already - 10! You can distinguish them by power, the simplest 122 hp, the average - 140, the most powerful 180 hp

So what I want to tell - not all turbines are the same, they differ very critical. If you extend:

1) on weak models (up to 122) is one turbocharger, model - TD02

2) On powerful models (more than 122) - Eaton TVs turbocharger Superior KKK K03, that is, double supervising, which avoids the turbo pit!

How it becomes clear - powerful models are harder, so they have more to break. But the "weak" models, "simpler", so reliability is slightly higher.

If you take a simple option (as in our case), then the reliability of its turbine at a high level is subject to all operational norms (oil replacement, fuel, etc.) This turbine runs 150-200,000 kilometers. And even poor-quality fuel immediately will not "kill" it, 70 - 90,000 leaving. If you live in a small town, then the mileage will have about 15 - 20,000 per year, it means even with the worst combination of events ( bad fuel), ride 3 to 4 years, freely. I have a friend who has been driving with such an aggregate for 7 years and everything is fine. Wow, with a turbine dealt with, go on.

Building and inside

What to say the reliability of the block itself and internal parts is no doubt at a high level, with the exception of one node. Let's in order.

Consists (simplified scheme) :

1) cast iron cylinder block

2) and "rods"

3) Aluminum, 16 valve head block with two shafts and hydraulic system system with phase inspection on the inlet shaft.

4) System direct injection.

5) Systems distribution system - chain.

As you see the TSI itself, a standard reliable unit. But it has one "weak link", which spoils the whole picture, especially in powerful versions (from 140 and higher) is a timing chain.

Here it is "unemployed" and is designed for the entire service life. However, as practice has shown, it is pulled out after 50 - 70,000 on "powerful" versions, and after 100 - 120,000 on weaker. After it happened - noise in the engine appears, a strong crackle seems to be a diesel (it is impossible to confuse it with anything), it can also jump on one thing - two levels, then you will not start the engine at all.

Now Volkswagen engineers are "fighting" over solving the problem, the resource has slightly increased. From 2014 since 2014, even powerful versions run 150,000, but the fact remains a fact - the chain is now stretched. Again, you will be enough for a long time if you drive 15,000 per year, then almost 10 years old.

About oil and fuel

What to say reliability TSI directly depends on what you have in it! Do not save on oil, buy only engine desired synthetic oils. Also these aggregates, have a small "appetite", spend gradually oil - this is normal, per 10000 km, consumption can reach 0.5 - 1 liter (tribute for the turbine). Gasoline is required not less than 95, it is not necessary to buy on 92, then the consumption will decrease and the resource will increase a little. Place on proven gas stations (do not leave "Surogat") - although it concerns all cars.

About vibration and warming

Many owners are 1,4 TSI in the cold period of time, notice - "Trojections" or vibration. But after everything is warming up. Guys are not a breakdown, it is such a principle of work. It is worth noting that these aggregates are warming up longer than ordinary "atmospheric" it is also normal, all turbocharged units have "cold blood".

Finally

Despite all the few sores of this model, it is one of the most reliable turbocharged engines, as the manufacturer itself assures, with proper and calm operation, you can ride 150,000 km, without looking into it, then change the chain, we look at it (repair - change the turbine) and more At least 150,000.

The old EA111 model gathered a lot of awards and recognition, since 2014, the release of the EA211 model was launched, according to the manufacturer, the engine resource was much increased.

So if you thought to take a new Rapid with TSI, then there is most likely the "second generation", take not be afraid.

D AUNSAIZING (from English downsizing - "Reduction of size") began in the twentieth century, and this term introduced exactly Volkswagen. Moreover, it was about the lineup of 1.8-liter engines with a superpatch and 20-valve GBC.

It was assumed that a relatively compact block 1,800 will replace the motor line up to three liters volume, which is essentially happening. Now the volume of 1.8 liters is no longer considered small. In many ways, this is the merit of the Motor family of EA113 and this is 1,800 specifically.

Moreover, the late motors of the engines with this block of cylinders and the GBC had a volume of two liters, which seems to be a downsayz, but the concept is connected not only with the working volume, but also with dimensions. Here, due to the most thin walls of the cylinders and the long-time design, it was possible to accommodate a similar volume in the dimensions of 1.6 liters of the middle of the two thousand years. Do not be surprised by comparing the AWT blocks from the VW Passat and some x 16xel from Opel: there will be almost a complete coincidence in the dimensions there. Of course, the mass is not very different.

On the picture: Volkswagen Passat. 2.0 FSI Sedan (B6) "2005-10

But it is precisely by the beginning of the new century, the compactness of the design has become much more an important characteristicthan before. Why? Only because the growing requirements for the volume of the car salons when saving external dimensions and an increase in the average power in compact cars required the use of all smaller, but powerful motors.

The experience of the EA113 line was successful: despite the complex design of the GBC, the presence of turbocharging and forcing under 200 forces Motors 1,800 calmly kept their 300 thousand or more. Inspired by success, Volkswagen went further.

Continuation of success

Based on the block of motors with a volume of up to 1.4 liters, a new series of 1.2 and 1.4 liters of EA11 series presented (do not look for simple logic in numbering). Motor power was 105-180 hp The base for new engines was atmospheric models of AUA / AUB with a volume of 1.4 liters, made using a new modular location scheme hinged aggregates and S. chain drive Timing. Motors received the designation of TFSI / TSI, as they were equipped with a direct fuel injection and superimposed. Especially note that there is no difference between TFSI and TSI fuel systems, these are just two marketing names of the same for audi models And Volkswagen.

It turned out a large family of engines, of which the most famous are 1.4 liters of Caxa (122 hp), 1.2 liters of CBZB (105 hp), a little weaker CBZA on 85 hp, 130-strong 1.4 CFBA, two-trunk 140/150-strong BMY / CAVF, the infamous 160-strong versions of Cavd and the most powerful Cave / CThe with hot hatchie at 180 hp

Motors 1.2 liters of this line are very different from 1.4 liters. They have another eight-glove GBC and a slightly different block, another piston group, and there are no high-known options.

Mostly speech in this material will go about the motors of 1.4 liters. They have a unified design and similar shortcomings.

Design features

The design of the engines at first glance is as simple as possible, but there are a number of interesting solutions. Pig-iron block, aluminum 16-valve GBC - as in tens of other structures. But the GDM chain drive is made with a separate chain casing, which is more characteristic of belt engines and makes it easier to maintain it.

Full opening temperature thermostat

block cylinders

105 degrees

The timing of timber roller rockers pushers and hydrocomathers. The crankshaft position sensor is built into the rear flange of the engine. The boost system is made with an atypical liquid intercooler for most supervised engines, and the cooling system is with two main circuits, a super-air cooling circuit and an electric pump for additional cooling of the turbine.

The thermostat is a two-piece and two-stage, providing different temperatures of the cylinder block and cylinder and more smooth temperature adjustment. The thermostat of the cylinder block has a complete discovery temperature of 105 degrees, and the thermostat of the GBC is 87.

The control system is usually used by Bosch, the pump - their same, but in some embodiments a pump is installed high pressure Hitachi. Two-chapted version with the ROOTS compressor - the present miracle of technology, and in the end little Engine It turned out so much additional equipment and such a difficult inlet that he was heavier two-liter engines TSI.

For such a small motor, unusual to see the oilball cooling of the pistons and the floating piston finger, but everything is serious and designed for high power.

Carter ventilation is elegant and simple: there is an embedded oil separator built into the front cover and the maximum simple system with a constant pressure valve that the phenomenon is rare for the turbo vote.

The clean air supply system is also provided for crankcase ventilation, which theoretically allows oil to retain its properties for a long time and provides large intersavice intervals. Maslonasos is in the crankcase and is provided with a separate chain, such a design allows you to reduce the time oil starvation With the first and cold start, loss of tightness of the reverse valve of the oven or lowering the oil level.

The duocentric system adjustable pressure pump reduces the loss of power on the lubricant and apply low-viscosity oils yearly. It provides pressure of 3.5 bars in a wide range of operating conditions. Oil pressure sensor is located in the future of the oven after hydrocompensators and reacts well to any pressure drop. Of course, there are also phaserators. At least - on the inlet shaft.

Elegant design Even with superficial analysis has many vulnerable points and should work "on the verge". Moreover, even without taking into account the peculiarities of the system of direct fuel injection system with its ripples, sensors and rapid drive eccentrics. But the bulk of claims, oddly enough, belongs to the basic elements of the design, which are not expecting a trick.

Something went wrong?

If you think that such a turbocharged motor as 1.4 EA111 with high power has a very small resource of the piston group and the turbine consumility, then you are right only in part. In fact, the natural wear of the piston group is small, and the turbines after the elimination of problems with the electronic bypass and the sealing drive of Wastgate are able to pass their 120-200 thousand kilometers. Fortunately, it is quite "resort".


In the photo: under the hood Volkswagen Golf GTI "2011

The main reason for the discontent of the owners throughout the term of use of these motors was predictable and simple. The timing chain drive could not provide a stable resource, and the design features allowed the chain with a slight wear of the crankshaft on the lower star. In addition to this, in general, a banal reason was still one: the chain drive of the oil pump also could not stand it, the chain rushed, or she swashed.

In an attempt to eliminate annoying troubles, the company changed the tensioner three times, replaced the chain and stars to more small-grained, changed the design of the front cover of the engine, and eventually replaced the roller chain of the oil pump on the plate, at the same time changing the drive ratio to increase the operating pressure. The latest version of the tensioner is 03c 109 507 BA, it is recommended to change it anyway. The wear of the calm is usually insignificant, but they are inexpensive.

Timing sets There are two types: 03C 198 229 B and 03C 198 229 C. The first set is used for motor-roller pump roller chain, motors with CAX 001000 numbers to CAX 011199, the second option - for upgraded, with CAX 011200 numbers. If you want at the same time Improve the oil pump drive and use a newer version of the kit, then you need to replace the worker of the oil pump, its drive chain and tensioner. Details codes 03C 115 121 J, 03C 115 225 A and 03C 109 507 AD, respectively. When ordering details, it is necessary to be very attentive, some of the parts of the kit may be incompatible among themselves.

The resource of the first chain options before replacement was sometimes less than 60 thousand kilometers. After replacing the tensioner to a more resistant and setting less drawing chains, the average resource was about 120-150 thousand before the appearance of unpleasant chain stacks on the lid.

Another chain resource added the revealed trouble with check valve 03f103 156A, which too quickly descended the oil from the pressure line back to the Carter, which led to long work Timing without pressure. In the inhabitants of warm regions who ignore hazardous tapping, the chains are quite successful and more than 250 thousand, but there is a nuance: after the appearance of the first tapping at a cold start, a sign of a weaker tensioner, the probability of a chain's slippery begins to grow. And the lower the temperature, and the longer the motor goes to the working turnover, the probability is higher. At the same time, during the care of the phases, the thrust deteriorates and the fuel consumption is growing, so it's not so cheap risk. In addition, 100-120 thousand runs are an exemplary resource of the latest modifications of the latest modifications in urban environments and on original oil. Early options began to knock after 60-70 thousand mileage. So you still need to open the motor, and an amazing way the resource of the chain drive components is associated with the resource of the phase student, which is not officially consumable.

An error in the 93rd group is not always manifested, so that the electronic "diagnostics" fans need to be alert anyway. But for the services, this nuance was just a golden bottom, because in this case it is possible to eliminate unnecessary sounds ...

The timing chain and noise, as the most common problems, are leading in the list of troubles for 1.4 TSI motors. Each owner of such a car faces with them. As with the "Masedor", which over time necessarily appears. But the oil appetite also has a reverse side.

The system is arranged in such a way that the oil appetite and all related problems are not only inevitable, so in the absence of any actions from the owner of the car, they enhance each other. And this leads to a rapid increase in negative factors. The final chord is usually either cracks in the piston due to detonation, especially in all versions of the engine more powerful than 122 forces, or the path of the piston due to excess oil and the occurrence of piston rings.

What to do?

Most of the material read before this place logically made the conclusion "do not need to be". That in general is not deprived of meaning. But if you have already contacted such a motor on a used machine, do not rush to urgently get rid of it. You can live with EA111, just this motor age need only an integrated approach to diagnosis and recovery. You can't finish the timing. "Rezoka", which includes most owners modern carsThe engine will surely arise completely and irrevocably due to the death of the cylindrophone group. At best, hanging valves, detonation and errors will lead the car in a good service. And after a thorough repair, the engine will rejoice again and economy. Unless, of course, the power system does not fail.

The motor was repeatedly upgraded, and quite a lot of performance options. In general, until 2010, the design of the piston group was distinguished by an unsuccessful oiling ring, and before 2012 piston rings Also were thin and quickly wear out. And only at the end of the release of the series Motors appeared, which are practically not subject to rings and a number of accompanying problems. Then they began to put the crankcase ventilation kits on a slightly higher operating pressure. It turned out that the efficiency of the oil separator strongly depends on the vacuum, and that the reducing motor was higher than the planned. This in turn led to an increased oil tool through the ventilation of the crankcase.

The direct injection fuel apparatus makes its nuances in the process of aging motor. Like any high operating pressure system, it is rather capric. And the price of components that are almost not repaired, high. In addition to the expected substitutions of the nozzles and the pump, you can also change the notched pressure sensors of the fuel ramp assembly with the ramp, a bunch of tubes and gaskets. But for now, let it be costly, but the most "understandable" part of the problems with the engine. In addition, it is relatively not bad diagnosed with experienced masters.

To take or not take a car with such a motor? If the car B. good condition And with guaranteed slight mileage, then why not? Especially if you move a lot, and low fuel consumption will be a pleasant incentive. And, of course, if you are not afraid of one-time investments in the amount of 30-50 thousand rubles after purchase. This is the price of a good diagnosis with the replacement of the timing to a new version, and in the way you can reveal all the accumulated problems and eliminate them.

Closer to 200 thousand mileage money will need again. Most likely, the repair of fuel equipment and the supervision system will be needed. As a result, the chances reach up to 300 thousand runs and more - there is, although there will be much more difficulties on the way than in the case of some simple "atmospheric" from the 90s with twice as high fuel consumption. But unsuitable for repair is an explicit exaggeration.

In general, the motor was really originally unsuccessful, demanding of the service, and only in recent iterations got rid of annoying childhood diseases. But this is the inevitable consequence of the global trend on the run of technology by buyers. In this regard, the EA111 experimental series is not the first and far from the last. Your voice

Engine 1.4 TSI / TFSI EA11 series debuted in the spring of 2006. The 140-strong option fell under the hood Volkswagen Golf V. The modern motor with direct injection and four valves on the cylinder quickly conquered the hearts of the jury of the "Engine" competition. Since then, the power unit has collected leading awards every year in various nominations. But no prestigious titles guarantee reliability, as unexpectedly for themselves, with sprinkle and annoyance, tens of thousands of customers around the world have learned.

2010 brought long-awaited modernization. The timing tensioner was improved, and instead of the chain, the timing belt was installed. In 2013, a motor version equipped with a COD system (Cylinder-on-Demand) system was released, which during the movement without load disconnects two cylinders, which reduces fuel consumption.

Engine 1.4 TSI / TFSI has 8 modifications with a capacity from 122 to 185 hp. Weak versions (122 and 125 hp) were equipped with a turbocharger, and strong (from 140 hp) also mechanical compressor. The last combination allowed to solve the problem of "turbump" (failure and lack of thrust on low revolutions). AT casual exploitation The advantages of Motors 1.4 TSI / TFSI rated not only drivers who prefer good dynamics. Engines demonstrated good fuel efficiency (about 7-8 l / 100 km). This motor is very widely used in model row concern Volkswagen.: Volkswagen Polo., Skoda Fabia, Tiguan, Octavia and Seat Alhambra.

Problems and malfunctions

As the infamous 2.0 TDI with pump-nozzles, and 1.4 TSI / TFSI did not differ in exemplary reliability. Unfortunately, "children's diseases" strongly spoiled a brand reputation and undermined customer confidence. The most numerous charges received a defective tensioner chain chain and a premature Tensive Timing Chain. Mostly suffered from 140 and 170 hp engines. The cost of repair is about 300 dollars. Also refused the system of changing the phases of gas distribution (300-500 dollars) - a characteristic "diesel" noise appeared.

Nevertheless, this is nothing compared to the destructive rings and pistons. The cost of such a repair is already colossal. Mechanics believe that problems with piston are associated with embossed fuelcausing devastating detonation.

Among other defects, it is worth noting the frequent problems with POMPE (about 300 dollars) and with an injection system (a set of about 300 dollars). In the first case, the electromagnetic pulley coupling is slipped during overclocking between 2500 and 3500 rpm. In the second case, there are problems with the launch, and error messages appear.

The least problematic turned out to be modifications without a compressor - with a capacity of 122-125 hp.

Should I buy cars with 1.4 TSI / TFSI?

Cars with 1.4 TSI / TFSI, collected until 2010, may turn out to be a risky choice. But not all of them must bring problems. It all depends on previous owner and operating conditions. Engine inspection is desirable to entrust an experienced specialist. Chances of encountering serious malfunctions in younger cars (since 2010) are small. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on searching for copies with upgraded engines. Although they are more expensive, but in the future they will overcome your money, time and nerves.

The first thing that the potential car owner is watching when buying is the optimal combination of engine and transmission. Not all drivers seek to get the most powerful motors, and automakers understand this by offering various variations of engines to purchase. One of the European Engine Variations in Russia car brands It is 1.4 TSI motor. Such an engine is installed on cars Skoda., Audi and Volkswagen. As part of this article, we consider what advantages and disadvantages of the 1.4 TSI engine, as well as its resource.

Based on the block of motors with a volume of up to 1.4 liters, a new series of 1.2 and 1.4 liters of EA11 series presented (do not look for simple logic in numbering). Motor power was 105-180 hp The base for new engines was atmospheric models of AUA / AUB with a volume of 1.4 liters, made using a new modular layout of attachments of attachments and with chain drive timing. Motors received the designation of TFSI / TSI, as they were equipped with a direct fuel injection and superimposed. We particularly note that there is no difference between TFSI and TSI fuel systems, these are just two marketing names of the same for Audi and Volkswagen models. Motors 1.2 liters of this line are very different from 1.4 L. engines. They have another eight-glove GBC and a slightly different block, another piston group, and there are no high-known options.

Engine reliability 1.4 TSI

A series of low-volume Turbomotors EA111 (1.2 TSI, 1.4 TSI) gained widespread in 2005, thanks to the popular Golf 5 and the Jetta sedan. The main and initially the only engine was 1.4 TSI in various modifications, which was called to replace atmospheric 2.0 fours and 1.6 FSI. The power unit is based on a cast iron cylinder block, covered with aluminum 16 valve head with two distributive treals, with hydraulic components, with a phase inspector on an inlet shaft and with direct injection. The GDM drive uses a chain with a service life designed for the entire period of operation of the engine, but in reality the replacement of the timing chain is required after 50-100 thousand km. Let us turn to the most important thing, and most importantly in TSI engines it is, of course, reducing. Weak versions are equipped with a regular turbocharger TD025, more powerful 1.4 TSI Twincharger and operate according to the EATON TVS + turbocharger compressor KKK K03, which practically eliminates the turboyama effect and provides significantly more power. Despite all the manufacturability and advanced EA11 series (Motor 1.4 TSI, the repeated winner of the "Engine" contest), in 2015 it was replaced by an even more advanced series of EA211 with a new, seriously changed, 1.4 TSI engine.

Motor modifications 1.4 TSI

1 . BLG (2005 - 2009) - engine with a compressor and turbocharged, which blows 1.35 bar and the motor develops 170 hp at 98 gasoline. The engine is equipped with an air intercooler, corresponds environmental Standard Euro-4, and manages all Bosch Motronic MED ECU 9.5.10. 2 . BMY (2006 - 2010) is an analogue of BLG, where the boost has reduced to 0.8 bar, and the power fell to 140 hp. Here you can go around the 95th gasoline. 3 . BWK (2007 - 2008) - version for Tiguan at 150 hp 4 . CAXA (2007 - 2015) - Engine 1.4 TSI 122 hp It is simpler in all components than compressor with a turbine. Turbine on caxa is Mitsubishi TD025 (which is smaller than the Twincharge) with maximum pressure Up to 0.8 bar, which quickly goes to the boost and allows you to abandon the compressor. In addition, modified pistons, an intake manifold without dampers and a liquid intercooler, head with more flat inlet channels, changed camshafts, simpler exhaust valves, recycled nozzles, Bosch Motronic MED ECU 17.5.20. Motor meets Euro-4 standards. 5 . CAXC (2007 - 2015) - analogue of saha, but programmatically power increased to 125 hp 6 . CFBA - Engine for the Chinese market, part-time this is the most powerful version with one turbine - power 134 hp 7 . Cava (2008 - 2014) is an analogue of BWK under Euro-5. 8 . CavB (2008 - 2015) - BLG analog for Euro-5. 9 . CAVC (2008 - 2015) - BMY engine for Euro-5 standard. 10 . Cavd (2008 - 2015) - Motor CAVC with firmware at 160 hp Advance pressure 1.2 bar. 11 . Cave (2009 - 2012) - engine with firmware at 180 hp For Polo GTI, Fabia RS and Ibiza Cupra. Superior pressure 1.5 bar. 12 . Cavf (2009 - 2013) - version for Ibiza FR by 150 hp 13 . Cavg (2010 - 2011) - top Option Among all 1.4 TSI at 185 hp Stands on Audi A1 14 . CDGA (2009 - 2014) - Gas version, power 150 hp 15 . CTHA (2012 -2015) is an analogue of Cava with other pistons, chain and tensioner. The ecological class remained Euro-5. 16 . CTHB (2012 - 2015) - CTHA analogue with a capacity of 170 hp 17 . CTHC (2012 - 2015) is the same CTHA, but stitched under 140 hp 18 . CTHD (2010 - 2015) - Engine with firmware for 160 hp 19 . CTHE (2010 - 2014) - one of the most powerful versions of 180 hp 20 . CTHF (2011 - 2015) - Motor for Ibiza FR at 150 hp 21 . CTHG (2011 - 2015) - Engine, Replaced Cavg, Power is the same - 185 hp

Problems and disadvantages of 1.4 TSI engines

1 . Tensile chain timing chain, tensioner problems. The most common disadvantage of 1.4 TSI, appearing during runs from 40-100 thousand km. The crack in the engine is a typical symptom, when there is such audio support, it is worth going to replace the timing chain. In order to avoid repetition, you should not leave the car on the gear. 2 . Does not go. In this case, the problem is most likely lies in the turbocharger by the turbocharger valve or the turbine control valve, check and everything will be settled. 3 . Troit, vibration on cold. Motor feature 1.4 TSI, after warming up these symptoms go. In addition, the VW-Audi TSI engines are warm and loved to eat high-quality oil, but the problem is not so critical. With timely service, the use of high-quality gasoline, calm operation and normal attitude to the turbine (after the movement to make a work 1-2 minutes), the motor departures for quite a long time, resource engine Volkswagen. 1.4 TSI is more than 200,000 km.

Progress in place is not worth it, and in the 10th of the XXI century, the turbo engine with the immediate injection will not surprise anyone, the technologies are gradually being worked out, the mistakes are corrected ... And the motors of the next line of the EA211 came to replace the EA111 - most of them are equipped with most modern machines Concern Volkswagen. Judging by the first reports of "Stroy and" two-anniversary "from among the owners, as well as by the reviews of the masters, the series turned out to be more successful. And about it Next.

Volkswagen engine resource and what differs from the predecessor 1.4 TSI EA211

1.4 TSI new Series EA211 (1.0 TSI, 1.2 TSI) came to replace the Popular 1.4 TSI EA111 series and is a seriously finalized almost new motor, located at an angle of 12g. Back. In the power unit, the bottom was completely replaced: the cylinder block is now aluminum with cast-iron sleeves, the diameter of the cylinders decreased by 2 mm, now it is 74.5 mm, the crankshaft is replaced with a lighter and long-point (80 mm stroke, there was 75.6 mm), light connecting rods are used. This is the entire 16-valve head with two camshafts, but unlike the past generation, the CFC is deployed 180g. And now the exhaust manifold is located behind, the reservoir itself is now integrated into the head. Motor 1.4 TSI is equipped with hydrocompensators, the direct fuel injection system is applied. At the 122-strong version, a phase storage was installed on an inlet shaft, a modification with a capacity of 140 hp, equipped with phase beams and inlet and on the release. Changes have also occurred in the TRM drive, now instead of the chain, the timing belt is used, which must be checked every 60,000 km. Here is a new two-king cooling system, and at a modification of 140 hp. A system for disconnecting two ACT cylinders is available. In addition to everything this motor Equipped with a turbocharging system, with an intercooler built-in intake manifold. On the different modifications Turbines are distinguished by: a capacity of 122 hp Uses the turbine slightly smaller (with a pressure of 0.8 bar), 140-strong modifications, respectively, more and the pressure here is 1.2 bar. Motor control lies on the Bosch Motronic MED ECU 17.5.21. This engine is released today, but since 2016 it is changed to a new 1.5 TSI.

Problems and disadvantages of engines VW 1.4 TSI

1 . Zhor oil. The first versions suffered high flow Oils due to defective GBC recommended to replace, newer versions spent the oil over the norm due to the rings and the overhaul was already required on runs of 50 thousand km or more.

Important: When buying a supported car with an engine 1.4 TSI, it is necessary to determine how often the owner has changed the oil in the motor. If he did it less often than 1 time in 10-12 thousand kilometers of run, and the total mileage of the engine exceeds 60-70 thousand, it is better to give up the purchase of such a car.

2 . Loss of thrust. With permanent ride in the same rhythm (as well as due to the characteristics of the turbine), the likelihood appears that you can join the Westgate axis or fail the actuator. It is necessary to watch what is the reason and then it becomes clear what to do next: to change the actuator or sufficiently develop the axis. To reduce the likelihood of this, you need to press gas from time to time. Examined typical problems Engine 1.4 TSI, you can draw conclusions about the rules of its operation: ✔ Use high-quality oilrecommended by the manufacturer. At the same time, the oil replacement must be carried out more often than recommended in the car's technical operation book. The optimal period of oil replacement is 10-12 thousand mileage kilometers. You can use various additives to oil to improve its characteristics; ✔ The use of high-quality gasoline. Like any turbocked motor, 1.4 TSI is extremely susceptible to low-quality fuel. It is recommended not to refill such an engine on dubious gas stations and use only quality gasolineto pull the time to overhaul; ✔ despite the fact that the engine is turbocharged, it is better not to get involved in high-speed trips on high revolutions, "Breakdowns" from traffic lights and other elements of an aggressive ride. ✔ It is not recommended to leave the car in the parking lot on the transfer without activating hand brake. A spontaneous rollback of the car can occur, which will learn the timing chain and other problems.

It is also worth noting that the 1.4 TSI engine is not very quickly warming up. Therefore, by car with such an engine, it is better to eliminate short trips during the cold season. If such trips are performed on a regular basis, the motor is constantly subjected to temperature drops that negatively affect its operation. In the case when the short-term operation of the vehicle with an engine 1.4 TSI cannot be excluded, it is recommended to change the candles more often.
