Still got mine. 400,000km later runs like a top. Tuned its entire life. Doesn’t burn a drop of oil
I just bought a 2015 A3 TDI Premium Plus with only 23,000 miles on it for $15700! THANK YOU Diesel Gate. What the Acura dealership did not seem to realize if the 2015 model year was no impacted :)
Ryan Matthew uh I’m pretty sure 2015 might of been the last year. I may be wrong though
I just bought one. I love it!!!
Eres de México? Yo también compre una y me encanta
Le meti el chip para mapear el turbo y le aumentó 39 hp. Ahora jala casi como el GTI
@@seacronos7303 buena inversión de tunearlo. En un motor de gasolina normalmente cuando los modificas te baja el rendimiento por eso amo el diesel no solo tienes más poder tu económia no sufre y en ciertos casos mejora. A casi cualquier carro lo vas a dejar atrás en el arranque especialmente si no tienen turbo. El turbo hace que tengas mucho torque/torsión ya sea diesel o gasolina. Casi con cualquier 6 cilindros automático de 5 velocidades o menos te puedes divertir. Y cuando vas en la carretera los de gasolina se alentan por el viento pero a este motor la resistencia de el aire no le importa y verás que tú aceleración es casi igual como si fueras más despacio. Es aquí donde dejaras a muchos carros segun deportivos atrás. Ya he dejado lexus sc, mustangs y tal vez por miedo de el otro pero hasta un s2000. Lo que más amo es que la aceleración es constante y ni se siente pero solo vez como sube la aguja. Y sin hacer tanto escándalo. Recuerda que los diesels duran mucho así que tú metele kilómetros con ganas. De un GTI a este prefiero el TDI. Lo único que me concierna es que el turbo de este carro es complejo y tal vez va a salir caro reemplazarlo. A y no se te olvide cambiar las bujías cada 20 años. Que chistoso soy verdad?
@@seacronos7303 donde compraste el chip? yo tb compre un variant
@@seacronos7303 would you be able to get a eprom of from it ?
@@BlondynCh Hello. I just checked with them and no Eprom. Sorry. However im going stage 3 on my Sportwagon so i will sell you mine if you're interested. Regards.
If only that Dieselgate scandal hasn't screwed things up for VW, we might be seeing more small displacement diesel engines today. :(
I have an old VW Golf mk5 2.0tdi engine code BKD 2007 and i get around 46-50 US mpg/55-61mpg so in terms of economy the newer models aren't massively different but I completely think the roller bearing for the cams is a great addition to reduce wear, as that was always a weak spot if the car was poorly maintained. Also turbos were always a point of failure for VW so the reduction in distance from the engine and thus oil supply will help with reduced oil starvation on startup and oil service fills.
EGR and adbue deletes have entered the chat
That's what I am interested in
Mine is EA288 DFFA 2.0L. Adorable. Boost is hilarious.
I consistently get high 40's to low 50's mpg, depending of type/conditions of driving, on my 2015 Jetta TDI SEL.
did the motor cause you any problems so far? do you still own the caR?
I own 2018 gold sportwagen tdi 2.0 and I love driving it.
I have 47 mpg on my Octavia. Acceleration is also good, 8.5 sec
Americans will have no idea what an Octavia is (skoda octavia)
I have a 2015 Audi A3 tdi with this engine at 65,100 miles and it's still running strong. Only thing happened is the def injector busted and leaked def the entry point to the exhaust. Cost $653 to get fixed, plan to delete it soon.
Question for SeaCronos. Did you register this VW TDI 2.0 Sportwagen in Mexico? Or in the US? If in the US, was difficult to register your car?
No, i bought it directly from VW dealer with 0 miles on it and sold as a used car, cause it was 2016 and i bought it on 2018. So VW started selling in Mexico the ones that could not sale in the US anymore. All paper work already fixed by VW. You can still find some left for sale on mercadolibre.com Mexico's Ebay like site.
Hi plz can you tell me what the engine code name placed in jetta 2015 facelift?
You missed the new oil filter placement...
Micah Goldstein yeah who ever though it was good idea to put the filter there had their head up their ass,state of the art engine with a retarded oil filter..
Now that I've done an oil change, I don't hate it so much. I'd have preferred if there weren't wires in the way, but it's actually a little cleaner than the top mounted version, as long as you pull the drain plug on the filter housing.
Takes two pans and jacking/lifting the car up, but otherwise not a tough job. OH...yeah, taking ten screws out of the bloody engine bay liner was annoying too. But, for a once ever 10k job, not bad. And not worth what the dealer is asking!
+Micah Goldstein you happen to know what the torque spec is for the filter housing?
+Tom Cieminski 25 newton meters
Thats roughly 18 ft lbs right?
Can ANYONE please tell me where the thermostat is located at on my 2015 VW Passat TDI SEL premium diesel. I can’t find it and need to replace it. Thanks!
Where is the turbo sensor located at ?
Since the "FIX" my 2015 VW Passat TDI, 6 speed standard, is averaging around 500 to 530 miles per tank, and it was around 600 plus miles per tank. Some great "FIX, huh? The only reason I have seen for MANY years, (since 1979) to purchase and drive VW's was for the economy. No more recommendations from me to anyone to buy VW.
go get a prius xD you seem to take pride in what you do like all of them prius owners lol
The "fix" was simply complying by the US's pathetic regulations on diesel cars by spraying a little bit more DEF fluid into the exhaust. Robbing fuel economy by a few points. These cars are fantastic, but you can thank the US for effectively ruining them and painting VW in a scandal when they were inevitably just selling European model cars. Look how Europe is using diesel electric vehicles that return 70mpg. The US govt, and their fixation on gas powered vehicles is ridiculous and inefficient.
piston to cylinder wall clearance?? blow by ???
What are these like for tuning for a little boost
I have 150 but want 180-190
No problem i have 195. With dsg and now 60.000 km with tuning. Car has 185.000 km
@@Anonymous-vo6dg What's the 0-60 MPH or 0-100 KMPH after the tune? what real difference does the tuning make. I am picking up a Golf with this 150 bhp engine this week.
@@joebloggs4191 7.8. 0-60
@@joebloggs4191 yeah difference is huge.
@@joebloggs4191 i've got it in leon 2016 184 hp 380nm torque and now its about 7.4s 0-60, stage 2 you get sth like 207 hp 400 nm and its about 7.1s
I serviced my 2015 Passat in The Autobarn Volkswagen of Mt. Prospect and they loaded diesel scandal software onto my car !!! do I have a court case against them ?
Good thing I stuck with the EA189. After getting the fix, the car ran like shit. I would get close to 900KM to a tank, with the fix it dropped down to 600km to a tank. Ive noticed that the EGT would spike from 400~700 degrees Celsius every 15 minutes. I removed the whole emissions system, installed turbo back straight pipe and reflashed to a stage 2 tune. Now I'm getting close to 989kms to a tank, 900~950 kms when driving it hard. My best so far is 3.8L/100KM. My recommendation is get a EA189
Good job, engine runs great, while poisoning everyone around you (and a great mileage!)
I love my SPORTWAGEN!
I think older engine has less problems with my experience had 1.9 tdi that was my best engine I now mk7 gt 2013 is fun to drive but I think it not last in.my opinion
Do they all come with crickets in the engine compartment.
Derek Dolin yes they do, mine came with them
this engine does still use a timing BELT correct? not a chain?
Timing belt
I love mine.
Please explain how to remove the catalyst from this engine as soon as possible and thanks
I'd buy a VW 2.0 litre TDI Turbo Diesel engine. Dieselgate, be damned. I can think of some cars that would benefit from a small displacement diesel engine.
Take all that BULL SHIT OFF ! & Run a straight pipe ! South Carolina ROCKS !
Hi I've got the Skoda Octavia with that engine how can I get more power out of it without spending too much money
I installed race chip and took the car from 150 hp to 181 hp. It feels like a different car. And i'm getting better millage also.
can you specify what kind of chip you got ? id like to check that out@@seacronos7303
@@seacronos7303 any more info ?
@@christopherbell7109 be careful to put it out of the engine bay, I took it from one side in front of the radiator. Heat can cause a lot of trouble to computers and it was throwing me a lot of codes. I found out that no matter where I put it inside the engine bay the chip box was always red hot. Once I put it in front of the radiator, no more problems, not even one.
Do you think this engine can be brought into EPA compliance with just additional Urea injection?
It's possible, but a more thorough retune of its running programs is more likely plus a few small pieces of hardware.
Which will make it even slower and less efficient than it already is. :-(
OMG just get a tune @@ThomasRSmith-og7zo
@@BlondynCh I did get an APR tune and there was no difference whatsoever. I went back to the Tuner and they double checked the tune and verified it was on there however, somehow the new software upgrade by VW seems to reject the new instructions. They removed the tune and gave me my money back since there was nothing they could do. In the meantime VW added their hardware upgrade which in the beginning made the car more difficult to start. I mentioned it to the dealer and they said it will take a while until the ECU adjusts. Which eventually it went back to normal starting. Nothing else changed as far as performance or fuel mileage goes. Still slow as molasses with mediocre mileage burning the most expensive fuel out there. Never again a Diesel and Never again a Volkswagen,
now once your computer reajusted give a try to a malone tune they specialize in TDI's. APR tune specializes in petro cars or better yet if you want to be a cheap cey baby just give a try to OBD11 doesnt get any cheaper and will make significant improvements// you might see some black smoke at first but again were compareing cheap alternative to PROs at malone@@ThomasRSmith-og7zo
Is it reliable? or the 1.8 TSI is a better choice?
Moinsen tdi natürlich
2.0 liter tdi
@@sebastianludwig3800 oki, thank you!
how do you ? mechanics access dpf & or cat for service pull engine looks sounds like planed failure to take money from owners
My is 34 mpg 2013 mk7 2l diesel no matter how I drive will.go 28mpg to 34 mpg not happy car hass full history on eco all the.time

VW betray with this engine as well as with the previous EA189. Typical VW.
*55
Just wait until the high pressure fuel pump implodes and it cost more than the car is worth!!! Not mention all those cooling gates that can mess up TICKING TIME BOMB!!!!!!!!
40% reduced emissions? I guess that is out the window. Ha ha .
new scr technology actually wokrs :) but the 40% reducing to the previous ones is easily made because the previous ones were manipulated as we now know
You fools, America was desperate to stop VW TdI sales so they make up this bs that somehow the car knows when it’s on the rollers and so it the computer changes things in the engine to not pollute ... Bullshit !! The rest of the world that uses these motors hasn’t found anything wrong , it was America that wanted to hurt VW and they received a huge payoff in the process from the fines VW had to pay , diesel trucks in America and semi trucks all pollute way more than vw cars do but those are still legal huh?
obciously youve never been to any part of US xD the air quality is simply on another level. what hurts the most you are just used to that euro smell and wont notice it unless you move out for some time@@neondiamondsaquaberry17
I am in US you fool, for someone like you that spends most of the day with their head up their ass, sure the air quality will be great when you pull it out and breath air
guessing your nother hillary supporter lol@@neondiamondsaquaberry17

Well, whatever is in this video is irrelevant now, since new VW TDIs can't be bought....
Just bought one. Trust me not worth it at any price.
@@ThomasRSmith-og7zoWhy ?
@@kenj.8897 i have a 2015 jetta and love it. Lots of torque, excellent fuel economy. Its great. 1100km.on a tank, only have to do an oil change once every 15,000 km.
All the Sportwagon from the Diesel gate in US are for sale now in Mexico. I just bought one 0 milles 4 yesrs warranty fully loaded with extras for 14,200 usd.
It's not irrelevant, since you can now buy these cars (with Urea injection) and comply with emissions regulations. Not only that, but you will have a lot lower volatiles, CO2, and soot (particulate) emission than with gasoline cars of similar performance. It's actually very, very green. ;)
This is the shit engine made it ever from VW always oil leaking problem always drinking oil problem burning oil problem lot the issue with this engine
Crap crap
😡😡😡😡😡😡
It's pretty relaxed
Hate that new engine. Bought a Newly released 2015 Passat TDI and it's the slowest thing I have ever driven which wouldn't be so bad if the fuel mileage isn't way lower than advertised on the sticker. Best I am getting is 32mpg and worst was about 28mpg. It's suppose to get a between 34 and 42 mpg and this thing isn't even close. My brother in his V6 310hp Impala gets almost better gas mileage and my cousin in his base model Ford Focus can blow it away. I am going to get rid of this Piece of Junk as soon as possible.
Look into a Kerma or Malone tune. More power and better MPG.
Out of thousands of thousand VW TDI models sold, I have never ever heard from any of these owners that these fine engines get below 40 mpg. Something is wrong with your car.
Dpf egr delete. Scr take all off. Cost ya Tune it 150 plus 500 exhaust. And run like nothing u ever drove. and fuel mileage way up. But the power where it’s at. I tune my own 3.0 tdi. It has 340 hp and insane amount of torque. But u will be polluting the earth. But hey vw been doing it for years. And worst they lied about it. I offered 43k for my 12 touareg and I not take 60k. Oh if u want pay out butt. Malone tuning. But I tune them any stage 200 bucks. And that’s telling u how do it step by step.
Good luck
I do 45 to 55 on mine
I've a Golf with this engine and my average mpg is 51 over all fill ups. I had the final stage US emissions update done two tanks ago and across those fill ups, my average has been 53.2mpg,
