⚙️ Engines — what to expect
VW EA288 2.0 TDI — EA288_2.0TDI
Known issues
- Like all modern diesels, short city trips clog the DPF. Highway driving cleans it. (~400–1 200 € repair)
- EGR valve can accumulate carbon over time. Cleaning usually sufficient. (~200–500 € repair)
- SCR injector can crystallize urea deposits, causing warnings and limp mode. (~300–800 € repair)
- Planned maintenance — belt every 210,000 km. Not cheap but infrequent. (~400–700 € repair)
VW/Audi EA897 3.0 V6 TDI — EA897_3.0TDI
Known issues
- Early CCWA engines (2004-2010) had chain stretch at rear of V. Later versions improved. (~2 000–5 000 € repair)
- Intake manifold flaps can stick or break — loss of power. (~300–800 € repair)
- Complex EGR system — cooler and valve can fail. (~400–1 200 € repair)
- SCR/NOx sensors can fail, triggering warnings and limp mode. (~300–900 € repair)
🚨 What to check before buying
Overall risk score: 10/10
Serious risks
- DPF clogging (short trips): Like all modern diesels, short city trips clog the DPF. Highway driving cleans it.
- EGR valve: EGR valve can accumulate carbon over time. Cleaning usually sufficient.
- AdBlue injector crystallization: SCR injector can crystallize urea deposits, causing warnings and limp mode.
- Timing belt replacement: Planned maintenance — belt every 210,000 km. Not cheap but infrequent.
- Car is 16 years old — expect age-related wear: rubber seals, bushings, water pump, AC compressor
- Higher mileage (207,940 km) — check for timing system condition, turbo health, and suspension wear
Additional notes
- Vehicle is 15+ years old. Age-related issues: rubber seals/hoses degrade, electrical connectors corrode, suspension bushings wear. Not specific to any engine, but expect €500-1,500/year in age-related maintenance beyond normal service items.
- Any car with 200k+ km requires extra scrutiny. At this mileage: suspension components are worn (bushings, ball joints, shocks), seals and gaskets are hardened, electrical connectors corrode, and major components approach end-of-life. For luxury cars (BMW, Mercedes, Audi) the cost of 200k+ km maintenance can exceed the car's value. Always get a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) and budget 15-25% of purchase price for immediate maintenance.
- Diesel car from before 2018 with very low mileage suggests city-only use — DPF is likely clogged or has been removed (illegal). Check DPF status and EGR condition.
- Vehicle is 15+ years old. Age-related issues: rubber seals/hoses degrade, electrical connectors corrode, suspension bushings wear. Not specific to any engine, but expect €500-1,500/year in age-related maintenance beyond normal service items.
