Engine Rebuild / Replacement Engine 2.0 TSI / TFSI CDND (EA888 Gen2) Refurbishment

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

The CDND 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 Škoda. MIK Motoren overhauls this engine to a level that significantly surpasses its original production condition — 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 replacement of all wear parts, screws and gaskets, as well as the machining of the sealing and contact surfaces, but also the replacement of components that are marked by the manufacturer with weak points and the Limit the motor's lifetime.

• upgrade oil pump — The biggest weakness of this engine is its oil pump, which does not generate enough oil pressure from the factory and repeatedly leads to failures. Without sufficient oil pressure, warning 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 the entire rev range and protects the engine from wear.
• Reinforced pistons — When tuned for more power or driven hard, this engine is more prone to piston damage in the ring land area. It is not uncommon to see oil consumption of 0.5L/1000km or more, and compression and power drop significantly. The increased temperature in the combustion chamber then places particular stress on the pistons and valves. Modified pistons, improved piston rings and a specially honed cylinder surface provide the 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 exceptionally 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 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.
