ea888 engine is not bad, strong power, while low fuel consumption, failure rate is not high. The first generation of the second generation of ea888 oil leakage phenomenon is more, to the third generation has improved, many owners of the reputation is quite good.
ea888 series engine including 1.8L and 2.0L two kinds of displacement, this engine in the domestic retention is very large, including Volkswagen's new Passat, Maeteng, Touguan, CC, Audi's A4, A5, A6, Q3, Q5, Skoda's Speed, Hao Rui, Nodi, Ming Rui and so on.
Volkswagen's third-generation EA888 engine utilizes intake variable valve timing technology, which can effectively improve intake and exhaust efficiency. Mainly through the blade type hydraulic regulator located in the intake camshaft to realize the valve timing variable. The principle of operation is to control the hydraulic oil in the corresponding pipeline through the camshaft regulator valve to drive the blades in the regulator, which in turn drives the camshaft to rotate, realizing the advance or delay of valve opening and closing, with an adjustable range of crankshaft angle up to 60°.
The strength of Volkswagen's third-generation EA888 engine lies in its balance! Power and fuel consumption do with the balance, and power extension is very wide from 184 horsepower to 310 horsepower. The problem is that it burns oil, the third generation should not be considered oil burning, but there is also oil consumption.
Volkswagen's third-generation EA888 engine utilizes a high-pressure direct injection + manifold injection fuel supply system. High-pressure direct injection ensures the engine's high efficiency, boosting power and reducing fuel consumption. The manifold injection system will be used when the engine is started, and it can help the engine reach the operating temperature (90°C) faster while reducing the production of carbon deposits in the process. It can be said that manifold injection acts as an auxiliary warm-up.
