118TSI Engine Failure - nothing more, nothing less, just numbers/details

Have you checked how many twinchargers Wippels VW have had to repair?

Nope, don't care to be honest. If mine goes ill pay an engine rebuilder to build it. Mine doesn't have a factory tune. it has a bigger intercooler and breaths better.

You can add my work collegues old 118TSI Golf Mk6 to your list. Supercharger issue, engine rebuild due to oil consumption and damaged piston, 2x clutch packs and 1x mechatronics unit. All that in under 3 yrs (it was a lease vehicle). He will never own another VW because of this.

Also, theres a few here too: My Golf 118 TSI engine expired!!

After 6 weeks of waiting I'm still without my Golf. Turns out mine is one of 3 Golf's at the same dealership that is in for an engine rebuild.
certainly won't be buying a VW ever again...

Got the Golf back today. New clutches, new wheel bearing. Somehow seems much smoother. Fingers and toes crossed.

Dauertest: VW Golf 1.4 TSI Comfortline - autobild.de
There are plenty of these that last the distance. They have been around since 2004 and now matter how hard I look I can barely find a complaint in Europe where 100 000's of twincharged engines have been sold.
Look at the Autobild test: 100 000km and as good as new. One of the best performing cars ever. Came in third because the cables that attach the parcel shelf to the hatch needed replacing.

It's certainly what many Australian owners would've expected out of their engine, but alas...
