2023-2024 Volkswagen Jetta 1.5T: Engine Explained 

thanks for all the info

slight correction, the water pump is not electrically driven, at least not the primary. The primary water pump is on the driver side, driven off of the exhaust camshaft with a toothed belt. There is a secondary electric pump at the front of the engine under the charge air cooler, the purpose of that pump is to circulate the coolant through the charge air cooler, as well as turbo. It's a separate loop, albeit connected to the primary. The electric pump allows for coolant flow through the turbo after shutdown as well as tigher control over intake air temp.

I bought one of these with a 6mt. Very happy so far.

Nothing wrong with a well done/engineered setup

Just drove it today after driving a gli. I was actually pretty impressed with the power and sound in sport mode. Was it the gli? No..but i liked it a lot.

Can you do the VW Jetta gli EA888 engine?

Is it all aluminum engine block with just iron cast 3 mm cylinders? Like on Hyundai

I am moving from TN to MN in a month and I have a 2023 Jetta. Does it have an engine block heater already installed? If so, where do you plug it in? If not, can you help me determine what kind of engine block heater to purchase and where to install it?

Head gasket failures are being reported on the VW Taos that has this same engine. Gives me pause about buying one now🤷🏻‍♂️

Very informative. Thank you, sir. I am planning on getting a new Jetta, and if like to ask you a question if you don't mind: how's this engine's quality in relation to the older 1.4L turbo in the 2019 re-design? Mainly, I'm wondering if the new engine handles carbon build up from the inclusion of a turbo charger better. From what I've read, it appears that a series of short drives that don't allow the engine oil to get to its needed 220-60 degree Fahrenheit temperature can exacerbate this problem? My job is a short 10 minutes away, so I'd fall into that regular trip category that would allow the after 15 minutes of driving needed to get the oil up to optimal operating temperature. Thanks again!

Are the water pumps really that bad?

I have a 2020 Jetta R . Mine has a belt timing belt. Does the 1.5T have a belt or metal timing belt? p.s. I love my car but considering trading when the warranty is up.

is there timing belt or chain? Interference engine or not?

So does it have a timing chain or belt?

does it equipped with timing chain or timing belt?

Is there a tune available for this motor yet??

Has anyone found aftermarket intake for this 1.5t? Has anyone filled up with 93 octane and notice a difference?

I wonder if it has that management cylinder systems where it runs on two cylinders sometimes.

so it's a good one???

Is it the same engine as the european version?

These are SO hard to find in America with manual transmissions!🤷🏻‍♂️

Can you put 87 gas in this car?

Owned a few gym cars with Torsen beam suspension… not impressed

The only problem with the car is that it's a Volkswagen...

No Turbos for me, Mazda 2.5 all the way

Timing belt or chain?
