⚙️ Engines — what to expect
VW EA288 2.0 TDI — EA288_2.0TDI
Known issues

- 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)
🚨 What to check before buying
Overall risk score: 7/10
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 17 years old — expect age-related wear: rubber seals, bushings, water pump, AC compressor
- Higher mileage (192,243 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.
- 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.
