The 1.4-liter Volkswagen BMY 1.4 TSI engine was produced by the concern from 2005 to 2009 and was installed on the fifth generation of the Golf, Jetta, and also a compact MPV based on their Touran. This power unit was distinguished by the presence of both the KKK K03 turbine and the Eaton TVS compressor.
The EA111-TSI series includes: CBZA, CBZB, BMY, BWK, CAVA, CAVD, CAXA, CDGA, CTHA.

Disadvantages of the VW BMY engine
- This engine does not tolerate bad fuel, intake valves quickly become overgrown with soot.
- Due to detonation, pistons often burn out here and it is better to replace them with forged ones.
- After 100 – 150 thousand kilometers, rings usually lie down and oil consumption begins.
- The control valve and wastegate of the turbocharger have low reliability.
- The timing chain resource rarely exceeds 100,000 km, sometimes it runs even half as much.
- Owners also complain about antifreeze leaks, most often in the intercooler area.
- An unpleasant feature of the unit are periodic vibrations during cold start.
The only problems I got so far is vibrations while standing still with cold engine, and my turbo doesn’t work at all after 3000 rpm’s. All I got is my precious supercharger under 3000 rev and even that doesn’t engage most of the time lmao. 1.4 FSI goes brr.
Just bought the Golf V at 157,000 km bruh am I cooked?
