Engine 1.4 TSI / TFSI EA11 series debuted in the spring of 2006. The 140-strong option fell under the hood Volkswagen Golf V. Modern motor from direct injection And the four valves on the cylinder quickly conquered the hearts of the jury of the "Engine of the Year" contest. 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 a mechanical compressor. The latter combination allowed to solve the problem of "turbump" (failure and lack of traction at low revs). In everyday use, the advantages of motors 1.4 TSI / TFSI rated not only drivers preferring good dynamics. Engines demonstrated good fuel efficiency (about 7-8 l / 100 km). This motor is very widely used in model row Volkswagen Concern: 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 poor-quality fuels causing devastating detonation.

Among other defects are worth noting frequent problems With Pompey (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 the 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.

Motor raisin is a two-stage supervision consisting of a supercharger with a mechanical drive and a turbocharger. The unit is offered in two versions: 140 hp and 220 N.M. torque or 170 hp and 240 N.M. The difference in return provides exclusively firmware of the control unit, mechanical part unchanged.

Up to 2400 rpm works only mechanical compressor: speed exhaust gases Too low to promote the turbo units. In the range of 2400-3500 rpm, it works with an effective impact, but with a sharp acceleration he still helps mechanics, covering the inevitable turboyam. After 3500 rpm, the adjusting flap on the inlet is fully open and directs the entire volume of air into the turbocharger. As a result more weak Engine It comes to the maximum torque from one and a half thousand revolutions, 170-strong - by 250 rpm above. By the way, in the control unit of a more powerful unit, an interesting feature is sewn: the driver can activate the winter movement mode even when mechanical box Transmissions. The engine in this case works softer, minimizing the wheel slip.

The two-circuit cooling system has already been tested on the Motors of the FSI family: one contour for the cylinder block, the other for the head. With such a scheme it is easier to maintain optimal operating temperature Engine, and therefore below emissions and fuel consumption. For example, to speed up the heating and reduce the likelihood of overheating in power modes, a hotter head must be cooled intensively. Therefore, the volume of fluid circulating in the head is twice as much as in the block, and the thermostat (they are naturally two) opens at 80 and 95 ºC, respectively. In addition, to protect the turbine from overheating, thereby extinguishing its life, helps auxiliary water pump with an electric drive, which for 15 minutes after stopping the engine chases fluid on a separate circuit.

The engine is extremely saturated modern technologiesthat raises the unit in the eyes of technical experts. Just don't forget about properly operation. The guidance of the health of this engine is good fluids and consumables And, of course, qualified and timely service. Complex combination in our conditions. And the cost of the main nodes and aggregates with interest overlaps all the amounts that high tech allow you to save on gasoline.

The pulley of the coolant pump is simultaneously pulley compressor magnetic clutch. Through it goes both drive belt. The compressor is located on the side of the engine facing the cabin:

Therefore, to reduce noise, the unit was dressed in an additional body with the walls of sound-absorbing foam, and the incoming and emerging air flows pass through the noiselessness. To develop the maximum pressurization pressure of 1.75 atm, a gearbox (right photo) is installed in the mechanical compressor housing, which increases the speed of rotation five times up to 17,500 rpm.

The block of cylinders is made of cast iron:

Despite the universal struggle with superfluous kilograms, worthy of replacement for this material for turbobes with a high degree of forcing is not yet. The so-called open block (between the walls of the block and the cylinder wells there is no jumpers) provides best cooling and more uniform wear cylinder. Piston rings are easier to compensate for it, which helps to reduce oil consumption. But the wells of cylinders are connected to each other - this is the need for a turbogue: with elevated loads, the separate cylinders lack stiffness in the upper belt.

The high pressure fuel pump is located on the casing of camshaft bearings.

It is activated by a separate cam on the inlet shaft. To raise injection pressure and increase productivity, the pump has increased the stroke of the piston compared to FSI atmospheric motors.

Nozzles with six holes in sprayers in the main modes of operation injected fuel on intake tact:

But if you need to quickly warm the catalytic neutralizer, they additionally give out the second fuel charge when the crankshaft turn is about 50º to the top of the dead point. The maximum injection pressure reaches 150 atm.

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 acquire the most powerful motors, and automakers understand this by offering different 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. Especially note that there is no difference between fuel systems TFSI and TSI No, these are just two marketing names of the same for audi models And Volkswagen. 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. Based on power aggregate Lies 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 airborne intercooler, corresponds to the Euro-4 environmental standard, 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-end 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 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 most likely lies in the turbocharger by the turbochargeor or 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 motors warm up and love gradually eat high-quality oilbut 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 of the new EA211 series (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.

Motor modifications 1.4 TSI EA211

CRJA (2012 - 2018) - hybrid for the European market under Euro 6, from CNLA is distinguished by the absence of secondary air.

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: ✔ The use of high-quality oil recommended by the manufacturer. At the same time, the oil replacement should be carried out more often than recommended in the book technical exploitation car. The optimal period of oil replacement is 10-12 thousand mileage kilometers. You can use various additives into 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 high-quality gasoline to 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.

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, and reliable tSI engines And is it worth taking it? Thanks in advance, Gaidar»

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

The reliability of the usual atmospheric engine will be higher than the turbine 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 It is more difficult, 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 (poor 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) direct injection system.

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 still 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.

Reliability, Problems and Engine Repair 1.4 TSI Volkswagen-Audi EA111

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 an aluminum 16 valve head with two camshafts, with hydrocompensators, with a phase inspector on the 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) - an 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 airborne intercooler, corresponds to the Euro-4 environmental standard, and manages all Bosch Motronic MED ECU 9.5.10.
2. BMY (2006 - 2010) - an analogue of BLG, where the boost 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 by 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 a Mitsubishi TD025 (which is smaller than at Twincharger) with a maximum pressure of up to 0.8 bar, which quickly goes to the boost and allows you to abandon the compressor. In addition, modified pistons are installed here, intake manifold without dampers and with a liquid intercooler, a 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) - Analog Sakha, 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.
8. CAVC (2008 - 2015) - BMY engine for Euro-5 standard.
9. Cavd (2008 - 2015) - Motor CAVC with firmware at 160 hp Advance pressure 1.2 bar.
10. Cave (2009 - 2012) - an engine with a firmware for 180 hp For Polo GTI, Fabia RS and Ibiza Cupra. Superior pressure 1.5 bar.
11. Cavf (2009 - 2013) - version for Ibiza FR by 150 hp
12. Cavg (2010 - 2011) - Top velocity among all 1.4 TSI at 185 hp Stands on Audi A1
12. CDGA (2009 - 2014) - version for work per gas, power 150 hp
13. CTHA (2012 -2015) is an analogue of Cava with other pistons, chain and tensioner. The ecological class remained Euro-5.
14. CTHB (2012 - 2015) - CTHA analogue with a capacity of 170 hp
15. CTHC (2012 - 2015) - the same CTHA, but stitched under 140 hp
16. CTHD (2010 - 2015) - Engine with firmware for 160 hp
17. CTHE (2010 - 2014) - one of the most powerful versions of 180 hp
18. CTHF (2011 - 2015) - Motor for Ibiza FR by 150 hp
19. CTHG (2011 - 2015) - Engine, Replaced Cavg, Power is the same - 185 hp

Problems and disadvantages of 1.4 TSI engines

1. Tensile 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 the 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, quiet operation and normal attitude towards the turbine (after the movement to work 1-2 minutes), the motor departures for quite a long time, the Volkswagen 1.4 TSI engine resource is more than 200,000 km.

Tuning Engine Volkswagen 1.4 TSI

Chip tuning

The easiest and most reliable option for increasing power on motors data is chip tuning. The usual chip Stage 1 at 1.4 TSI 122 hp or 125 hp It is capable of turning it in 150-160 a strong motor with a torque under 260 nm. At the same time, the resource critically change - a good urban version. With Downpippe, you can remove another 10 hp
On engines Twincharger The situation is more interesting, here the stage 1 firmware can be raised power up to 200-210 hp, the torque will increase to 300 nm. You can not dwell on the achieved and go further by making the standard Stage 2: Chip + Downpipe. Such a kit will give you about 230 hp And 320 Nm of the moment, it will be relatively reliable and riding forces.Further climb does not make sense - reliability will significantly seek, and it's easier to buy 2.0 TSI, which will give 300 hp
