Under The Hood: 2016 Volkswagen Golf 1.8 TSI 

Thank you for your time sir

I have a 2016 3 door MK7 1.8t that is 8 plus years old with no failures so far while running a stage one tune too.

VW 2016 Golf TSI question. I was looking at pictures to find where is the valve for adding refrigerant for AC.

I have a 2015 Golf TSI that I bought new. It just turned 110,000 miles. I’ve never had to fix a single thing. I just had to replace the PCV valve which cost me $150 and about 45 minutes to replace. 😁

I love the Tsi

I have a 2014 passat tsi 1.8 how do you remove the stuck big hose off the throttle body? Clamps are loose.

i have an ibiza cupra, same engine but with 192hp and 320nm

I had a 2015,...i lovvvvved it, in fact i loved it so much i traded it lol,....for a new 2017 GTI autobahn,..a year later to a 2018 Golf R,....rocketships all the golfs are very quick.

Does it have intake valves carbon buildup issue?

Did VW fix the cam chain tensioner issue for this year? I heard it is a common problem for TSI engine.

Is this the exact same engine on a 2016 Passat ?

Are there any options for a block heater for this car?

Did they replace the timing belt with the chain one?

Great explanation on the engine but am I correct that the European variant of this engine has both port and direct fuel injection and the North American engine only has direct fuel injection. The direct-injected-only engines have issues with carboning up and require the removal of the fuel rail and injector assembly to gain access to the combustion chambers so the valves and combustion chamber areas can be cleaned. Generally with a liquid cleaner then blasting with walnut bits to clean out the carbon buildup.Needs to be done around every 100,000 KM. Why wouldn't Volkswagen have used the European direct & port injection engine design in North America? That would eliminate the carboning up issue.

Where is the location for the steering fluid?

Does the engine have a timing belt or chain and when does it need to be replaced?

I have 7 years and 37K miles on this engine on my Passat. So far so good, very nice engine. The cartridge filter is leaking slowly though I hate these filters. Any one know what a good stage I ecu upgrade for this baby would be? which vendor?

I had a 2004 model that made 180hp and 200lb-ft from same displacement. Why is this less?

So does the 1.8tsi have an Inter cooler???

where is the turbo?

87 Octane good for this engine?

5 speed manual? lol

Everything is easy to maintain except throttle body SMH

This Golf with this very big engine probaly gets very bad gas milage. a 1.2TSI or 1.4TSI wiuld be much better
