Volkswagen & Audi - EA888.3 - Engine Parts

The 2.0TSI EA888/3 or Gen3 was designed to be lighter and more efficient. The engine was released 2012 and features in most modern Audi & Volkswagen engines to 2020. One of the main difference is that it features an integrated watercooled exhaust manifold. Another is that the engine features direct & port injection which has significantly decreased carbon build up.

The Gen3 engines are equipped with Siemens Simos 18.1 electronic engine control unit (ECU) and feature an electronic wastegate with factory boost up to 18 PSI.

These engines are very strong, tuneable and reliable.

Common issues include: Water pump failure, PCV failure & Weak ignition system

As you would come to expect we have a huge range of high quality parts to help you service and maintain your EA888.3 equipped vehicles. 

One of the most basic things you can do to increase reliability is to increase the frequency of your oil changes.

Service & Maintenance Guide

Minor Service - Oil Service

Every 10k is a minor service - oil and filter. Do not follow the factory 15K and go 7k for tuned vehicles. Oil is cheap, engines are not!

Intermediate Service

Every 30k is an intermediate service - oil and filter, cabin filter & air filter, brake fluid flush, remote batteries.

Major Service

Every 60k is a major service - oil and filter, cabin filter & air filter, remote batteries, brake fluid flush, fuel filter, DSG gearbox oil and filter (unless automatic, manual, tiptronic or multitronic), spark plugs and haldex oil.

Additional: Water pump & timing belt and poly belt on belt driven engines should be done every 60k.

Intermediate Service

Every 90k is another intermediate service - same as 30k plus a poly belt / accessory belt.

Replace Haldex fluid every 30k rather than 60k, Gearbox oil change at 40k for DSG is advised. Front and rear differential oils are "longlife" but replace every 60k to be safe.

Golf R 7.5 transformed!

Stage 1 tuning with the DSG gearbox upgrade is impressive, but the shift pattern after the tune is truly remarkable! It’s how the car should have come as standard.

Great service!

I needed some wheel nut covers and ordered from VAGPARTS. The service was great and shipping fast. Would definitely recommend and use them again.

Ignition Coil Connector

Fits perfectly, accidentally ordered the incorrect one (MQB) however purchased this one and fits MK5. Fast fulfilment, and great customer service will purchase again from VAG parts. A-lot better priced then direct from a dealer. Thanks

Fantastic - instant difference

The parts feel very good quality in your hand, and are fairly easy to install.
Tip: If you're struggling to get the upper insert into the bushing, obviously apply some grease, but also insert a screwdriver in the bolt hole of the mount and tilt it ever-so-slightly away from the mount as you slide it in.

Overall: good product, received in 1 day after ordering, easy to install, noticeable difference.

Worth every cent

When you’re looking for those gains that don’t break the bank, are easy to install and the drive feel is noticeable - this upgrade is hard to beat! Direct power transfer especially with the TCU stage two update with Kli-Max - this is a must

amazing!

My mk 7.5 performance edition 1 GTI FINALLY does dsg pops and feels like a rocket with the new upshift times. This tune has saved me from changing my car. Thank you 034!

Definitely recommend pairing with stage 1 ecu.
