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.

View full detailsEvery 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!
Every 30k is an intermediate service - oil and filter, cabin filter & air filter, brake fluid flush, remote batteries.
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.
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.
See: Transmission & drivetrain
Great fit, instructions are well done. Small NVH increase, but worth it for the reduction in drivetrain slop.
The VW starter button arrived as promised in good condition. A fair price and reasonable postage costs ($10). I would have no hesitation in buying from this company again.
Probably the best bang for buck mod for your s3 you can fit easily. The product is super lightweight and well made. It looks stock when fitted. Pair it with a silicone inlet hose and your car definitely feels more responsive.
Right product and fast shipping.
Prompt and professional service.
Perfect… good price and fitted no worries
Perfect delivery
Perfect fit
Perfect service
I know where to go next time I need something
Quick delivery and easy install!
Ordered several parts for a 1.2 TSI Skoda including, oil pump chain/sprocket/bolt and some various seals.
Great service and fast replies and everything arrived as described and in good time.
Thank you
Fast shipping and can’t beat OEM
Great value products. Installation was easy and parts works effectively
Would happily use again
Thank you a couple weeks wait as parts were on back order but prompt response and very happy all came as expected no issues at all thank you
Genuine quality as described. Price was awesome
It’s a bolt, but price was the key. Even including postage, the total price was much less than the local VW stealer! Delivery was also most impressive, arriving less than 24 hrs after placing the order. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from VAGPARTS again.
