Engine Rebuild / Replacement Engine 2.0 TSI / TFSI CCTB (EA888 Gen2) Reconditioning

Engine overhaul / replacement engine 2.0 TSI / TFSI CCTB (EA888 Gen2) rebuild — better than factory standard

The CCTB is a 2.0-liter TSI/TFSI four-cylinder (EA888 Gen2) from the Volkswagen Group with 200–220 hp, widely used in Audi, VW, Seat, and Skoda models. MIK Motoren rebuilds this engine to a level that significantly surpasses its original production standard — known weak points such as oil consumption and timing chain wear are permanently eliminated.

MIK Upgrades — why this engine lasts longer

The work carried out includes not only the renewal of all wear parts, screws, and seals, as well as machining of the flat and running surfaces, but also the replacement of components that are marked ex factory with Weak Points and the Limit the engine's lifetime.

• Upgrade Oil Pump — The biggest weakness of this engine is its oil pump, which ex factory does not generate enough oil pressure and repeatedly leads to failures. Without sufficient oil pressure, error messages, rattling noises, and loss of power quickly become noticeable and almost always lead to engine damage. For this reason, we rely on a specially developed oil pump that increases oil pressure across every rpm range and protects the engine against wear.
• Reinforced Pistons — When tuned for more power or driven sportily, this engine tends increasingly toward piston damage in the ring zone. It is not uncommon for oil consumption of 0.5L/1000km or more to occur, and compression as well as power drop significantly. The higher temperature in the combustion chamber then puts particular strain on the pistons and valves. Modified pistons, improved piston rings, and a specially honed cylinder surface provide a remedy.
• High-Quality Bearing Shells — As part of the overhaul, all components are precisely measured and machined. The bearing clearance between the individual components is set for lifetime and performance, ensuring especially smooth engine running. Combined with high-quality bearing shells, this engine is also ideally suited for sporty drivers.
• Reinforced Timing Chain Set — The increased wear of the timing chain is largely related to the chain's design and the freedom of movement of the chain links on the guide rails. A modified chain design, along with a special guide rail geometry, ensures maximum lifetime of the timing chains in this engine.
