The 2.0-liter 8-valve Volkswagen BMM 2.0 TDI engine was produced from 2004 to 2010 and was installed on many models of the concern with a transverse power unit. This diesel engine is known for its whimsical piezoelectric unit injectors.
The EA188-2.0 series also includes: BKD, BKP, BMM, BMP, BMR, BPW, BRE, BRT.

Disadvantages of the VW BMM engine
- A lot of diesel problems are due to the vagaries of its piezoelectric unit injectors.
- In second place are dips in thrust due to pollution and wedge geometry of the turbine.
- The reason for the increase in oil level is usually a loosening of the fastening of the unit injectors.
- Also, the seal of the tandem pump may suffer from a lack of tightness here.
- On runs over 200 thousand km, the particulate filter is often completely clogged.
