- A quick look at the Gen 3 Revisions made to the VW group 2.0 TDi, or more specifically the EA288 EVO 2.0 TDI Diesel engine, the successor to the 2012 EA288.
Find out what VW revised and changed and why I think this version is the Perfect 2.0 TDi engine from the VW group.
The revised EA288 2.0 TDI represents a considerable improvement over its forerunners, especially in terms of diesel particulate filter (DPF) design, emissions, EGR problems, soot buildup or carbon deposits and general durability.
In this video, we aim to highlight some of the key revisions and updates to this engine to help you appreciate this fine engine block design.
Complex Cooling System and Water Pump
The EA288 engine employs a fairly complex cooling system with a variable flow water pump.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System and EGR Cooler
The EA288's EGR system is essential for meeting emissions regulations and now it is fed after the DPF filter, minimizing carbon deposit build up.
PCV revisions also mean the oil vapors are removed from the crank case vent as it returns to the intake.
The EA288 2.0 TDI EVO Diesel engine represents a vast improvement over its predecessors, offering impressive performance and reliability. For most drivers, the engine is considered reliable and trouble-free.
Check out problems on earlier engines and you'll appreciate how far this Diesel has come.

Awesome video and love your channel. EA288 is the newer version of the EA189. It’s actually a cracking diesel engine it doesn’t burn oil and VW have fixed all the issues that were encountered on the previous models. They went back to the drawing board and created a diesel engine master piece. Sad thing is because of all the problems and nonsense that went on with diesel gate people don’t realize the engine is now producing the same NOx as petrol lower CO2 and more MPG’s. Is now for real this time more environmentally friendly than its petroleum siblings. Wish politicians would wake up to this reality.
2015 TDI owner with nothing but GOOD LUCK 2L 2000CC Diesel with 112,000 miles . Volkswagen painted both sides of the car bumper to bumper on its 12 year corrosion warranty because of a spot the size of a dime under both rear door handles where water got under the paint . Three thousand dollar paint job at local top tier shop , looks brand new !
I have TDI emission warranty work done no questions asked with a loaner car every time ! Best car I have every owned turned in a 2012 TDI and got 3 thousand dollars less then I paid for 3years and 90 thousand miles later .
50 MPG highway uses zero oil and runs all day long 80 mph smooth as a sewing machine.
I have the exact same problem 2015 Golf Sportwagen 100k miles rust bubbles rear door handle and have seen other cars with it too. Any tips for getting them to cover the repair?
I have a 2015 Passat TDI with the DSG (US), and have had zero issues with it. It was a "buy back" purchase after the "diesel gate" fiasco. It was purchased in 2019 with only 38k on it. Now at 88k miles, and just regular maintenance performed. Average mileage per tank is usually low to mid 40s. I'm considering a stage 1 tune when the warranty comes off next year... Very happy with this car!
Golf GTD MKVII.
Blocked heater matrixes. They block from casting sand that remains in the block, and also from the silica bag in the expansion tank, this breaks down, splits, and clogs the system.
This can then cause coolant to escape from the tank during a DPF cycle as the system pressure rises too high.
They're also known to get head lift when tuned, leading to cylinder head leaks and more pressurised coolant.
Silica bag?? 👀that is so stupid, VAG just can't stay away from idiocy no matter how much they try
I drove a 2019 skoda octavia 1.6 tdi to 300k km, with no issues. So it seems like the upgrades they learnd to do with the 2.0 tdi, vw did the same evolution with the 1.6 tdi.
I'm sure they have I've not fully investigated this yet but when I have some solid facts to share I'll post up a video. It is good to know that we can start trusting these engines again.
Such a helpful video! The detail is tremendous. I’m looking at buying a high mileage example and the thoughts on what to look for is really useful
I own an Skoda Kodiaq (MY2019) TDI 2.0 190 HP (DFHA) so far no issues if only I had to add some coolant during the first 15k miles because it went below the minimum but apart from that nothing else yet. I did a remap to 224Hp@460Nm and it is a funny diesel to drive giving the max torque at 2100 rpm :)
Who did your remap. I’ve got the Tarraco 190hp. There all the same power plants. Would love to get it done but don’t know where to go

live in Spain. But If I were located in the UK I'd go to Darkside Developments as they are in my opinion the best TDI tunners in the UK
REVO is best. I had the stage one put on my Octavia vRS TDI and the difference is night and day. So much faster, like it should have been from the factory. They test their maps on 100s of cars in many different countries and so have access to far more testing vehicles than other tuners.
DFHA engine code on Superb 2019.Egr cooler failes and leaks coolant in the intake system.Timing belt tensioner failed and makes horrible noise.Vacuum pump makes a nasty scrapping noise when cold,dual mass flywheel rattles when cold.
Very cool super detailed, best so far overview. Maybe I missed you say this, the iron cast body was replaced by aluminum with steel cylinder walls. I am getting this engine in February.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the support and encouragement my friend. I may have mentioned this fact but perhaps it was in the EA288 Gen 2 video I did and I forgot it on this one.
Im poised to buy a Passat 2 ltr Tdi 2016 reg with £20 road tax - to imply its emission status. The boot has a Bluemotion logo. Is there further development from here that gave it EVO status or might it be EVO design before dropping Bluemotion badge. Im halfway committed to buying this car with 73k and 7 of 8 vw services. What belt / water pump changes should I expect to see on records and how long is the warm-up period before setting off. Im also assiming this model will have Ad Blue but did exhause system get modified again to earn the EVO badge? A slightly worried potential buyer due to possible expense of having to renew injectors, belts and walnut blasting. Car has tow bar so Im assiming this was a caravan lugger.
I’ve ordered 2.0 tdi 200hp ea288 evo car recently and hopefully most of the old issues will be resolved in it.
I’m currently driving 2.0 tdi 184hp Gen2 ea288 engine, and it’s brilliant so far(160k km) - no injector issues, no egr issues due to its location after the DPF or at least to one of them, no DPF issues if you leave it to complete its regen even in city driving, etc. Really happy with it :)
Have a 2012 2.0lt TDI Sport 140 in a Touran. Not even once in a workshop apart from dieselgate recall. 5k miles and I change oil. 20k DSG oil change. Its even got original brake pads!!!
Another great video, didn't know about the SENT system or the hybrid action of the alternator despite reading the ERWIN self study and engine manuals! Hmmm, wonder if you could retrofit two or three alternators: )
On the upside the EVO water intercooler setup with the far shorter and lower volume intercooler piping is awesome, as are the later generation, smaller yet higher flowing turbo's. The GTD 1449 turbo is tiny but flows incredibly well from so low down! The twin turbo version sure tunes up well, but is a complex beast. The later EVO injectors sure flow well over the former 288's! The NOX/CAT setup is genius from an engineering design perspective if not an actual real world packaging one, I was impressed the moment I first saw it, pure genius. Downside is the camshaft module preventing cam changes in the EVO, and the head being designed for efficiency over performance despite the inlet port design looking far better from first glance. Nightmare to port with the parallel valve arrangement. The EGR may have less soot, but now has more corrosive exhaust gas due to the sheer amount and size of the EGR pipes, with the turbo inlet impeller having to be titanium coated to stop it being corroded!
A genius evolution for sure, but sadly as emissions and need for efficiency ramp up, the performance considerations drop in a lot of areas. I am currently repowering my 2014 EA288 CFHC 140 and seriously considered the later EVO engine, and have the means and software / CANBUS experience to do it, but decided to go for a EA288 CFGC 177 for the overall performance options despite some older designs. About all I lament from the EVO is the intercooler setup and the twin turbo ( plus now the hybrid alternator thanks to you! )
So first off, love your content and presentation!
I have a Passat GTS 2017 (2.0 bitdi cuaa). I'm going back and forth on the idea of a remap that would give 300hp 600Nm. I would love the absolutely unnecessary extra power alltough my main goal would be better fuel consumption. Noticed that the 1.4tsi has a electro-mechanical system to turn off 2 cylinders. This got me excited. I have not seen this anywhere on a diesel but would it be possible to, through the remap, not just add power but also incorporate a cylinder on demand by not opening an injector?
Like, over 1400rpm at constant speed and low enough load it runs on 2/4 cylinders thus gaining extra power but also saving fuel on long motorway journeys.
This works on the tsi but could it work on a bitdi/tdi or is there an inherent problem with this in regards to the diesel engine?
Just changed my 2019 caddy with 467,000km on it, never had a single problem. Got the 2024 caddy with the EA288 evo and wondering what a safe power level to remap it to doing high mileage?
Any thoughts on the biturbo CUAA TDI 240 bhp engine? I have one remapped to 290bhp and now has done 200,000 miles. Only issue is a clogged egr.
I’ve had nothing but bad experience with my 2011 Jetta, it’s only on 80k miles and it’s that bad im part exchanging it. Got my eye on a 2017 Octavia VRS on 30k miles but don’t know weather to give this engine another chance or try a different platform
im sure i have the EA288 evo in my A4 Sport 190
I have this engine, 67k miles in and got EGR cooler issues, still seems to be a big issue 😭😭
What exactly?
@@zaurmolotnikov7820 They get blocked over time and need replacing. Revised part to fix the issue however!
Hello. Which engine its in wv Tiguan 2.0 tdi 2019 ? Thank you
I have a Tarraco 2019 EA288 190hp. It’s on 35k and I never have to put oil in it from service to service it stays full. I do do occasionally a spirited drive. Only thing I top now and again is the coolant. It’s such a shame now that vwag have managed to master the diesel again governments have forced them to be shelved 😢
Where do we get engine-specific rebuild manuals with all the bolt torque specs, etc? Can't work on anything without these specs.
I have a subscription to elsawin but you can pay for a hours access and download your specific data.
How do you ID an Evo version ?
hello, does anyone have problems with the ea 288 evo engine, with the oil increase? at skoda they know the case, but they only advise draining the oil and driving longer tours. regeneration problem. How does the fuel in the engine oil affect it? we still have the vehicle under warranty, but they don't have a solution.
Oil increase - this sounds like oil dilution to me where fuel or other fluid builds up in the oil, it is a big problem if they engine is mainly driven cold. I have a video soon coming out on oil dilution which you might find interesting.
An oil catch can may help a little although if you are getting lots of blow by and it is fuel in the oil it might be a sign of worn piston rings.
Have you had an oil analysis carried out - that will identify what is going in to the oil?
@@torquecars hello, thanks for the quick reply. This happened to us three times, the first time in the summer on a long distance, then immediately after the service, approx. 40 km later, and then recently. car is 2021, skoda octavia 2.0tdi 288evo. they explained to us at skoda that the problem is in the regeneration of the dpf. Their recommendation is to have the service done at 15,000 km, which we have been doing since the new vehicle, and to drain the excess oil. the funny thing is that VAG has no solution. We have 7,000 km to go, then we make service engine at a regular Skoda service, I will request an oil analysis. I'm also interested in how much the oil gets contaminated every 15,000 km. services are carried out in October every year. we currently have 50,000 km on the vehicle. I am also looking forward to your video, which will be on CZcams. br from Slovenia :)
has it wt belt?
Nice informations. Waiting Golf 8 rline tdi 150 DSG for march. I hope its like how u say 💪. I want to know consumptions too. They say i can drive 1250km with full tank. Is thst true ? And its not noisy engine. Similar to some petrol. What u say for DSG
I do have 2019 passat with 150 hp engine and 7 speed dsg. My diesel tank takes 66 litres and 1200km is possible, but... I drive between Poland and Netherlands on a regular basis. I keep my speed around 120 km/h and after 1200 km I get a low fuel light on dash. If you stretch your right leg, range will drop to around 900km. It all depends on a circumstances like wind, strong rain. DSG works fine on a highway, if you rather drive locally I would suggest to change switching times, so it will change gears at 2000rpm, rather than 1600rpm. Diesel vibrates when idle, but when on a highway it is really quiet. Hope it helps
@@andrzejbielecki8080 How to change switching times? (I have the 2018 Passat with 2.0TDI - 150hp.)
@@Skagen63 visit reasonable tunning workshop. Process is similiar to a chip tunning of an engine.
So I shouldn't buy a 2018 2.0 TDI DSG with 30,000 miles?
I would stick to 2019 onwards just to be safe. Ive got the a Seat Tarraco 2.0 190 EA288 it’s on 34k miles and it’s awesome. Best diesel I’ve ever owned
I’m in 110,000 without issue. Burnt a bit of oil until I changed to LiquiMoly TopTec 4200 and Ceratec additive.
Sorry I’ll never buy another vw tdi. Horrendous service bills pile of sh…simplicity is the name of the game, vw seem to have forgot that.
is this engine in the audi A3 2016 model, 110kw?
Unlikely - it will probably have the Gen 2 EA288. It was around 2018 these were fitted in the A3. Your engine is still a very good development over the EA189
@@torquecars thank you.
Is the Audi A3 2.0 tdi gen 2 & 3 E3288 110kw cam belt or chain ?
It just means clogged dpfs lol
these new engines are a piece of crap. They eat oil, the engine block is made of aluminum. this means that it cannot withstand high revs, the fuel injectors have become even more complicated, oil leakage is very common.
I solved my oil burning issue very easily by using LiquiMoly CeraTec and their TopTec 4200 oil.
I drive very hard and yet 2000 miles after service not a drop burnt
crap engine. 15k km and already adding oil 2 times between change ... and i am not only one around me that have this issue
Which code of engine you have and year?
lmfao 2.0 slow is what we call it in ny even 2.0t is garb 1.8t for life
Lmfao the 1.8t has far more turbo lag, obviously a diesel is slower but with a map the 184ps version can reach 225ps
EA189 is superior to this ea 288
Why
EA189 fairly bombproof tbf.
EA288 is the newer version of the EA189. It’s actually a cracking diesel engine it doesn’t burn oil and VW have fixed all the issues that were encountered on the previous models.
