The oil spec for our EA888.4 engines is 0W-30.

All,

I have a CFG engine fitted to my 2012 Passat TDI Highline. I have the timing kit, but I am unsure of the correct tooling to use.

Please advise....

I have a Mk6 118TSI and would like to use ThreeBond Engine Conditioner to give it a clean out.

If so, whats the ideal place to apply?

I recently purchased a 2014 Golf TDI. The car is perfect. I would like to upgrade the car--what would you suggest?

Hi All,

Hello Dubbers
We need a used SUV for next 2-3 years after which I will sell and buy a new car. Budget is 20k and two options are Touareg and Q5 with around 100-120k odo readings. I am looking at only petrol engines.

What are your thoughts on these and what should I be wary of before...

Hey all,

Complete noob here so apologies in advance. Agreed on a price for the below but a mate has since advised me against the twin charged 1.4 engines.

It had the supercharger replaced 18 months ago.

Thoughts?

Hi All just wanted to know if any other beetle owners have experienced loss of compression in their late model beetle engines and required their pistons to be replaced.

Hi guys,

I've been researching up on the ea888 engines we have in our Arteons and found that we have Engine modification number DJHC and not CJX. I can't find any info on this engine and why it differs from the Golf R engines as i was led to believe that they shared the same exact engine....
