EA288 CRUA TDI Timing belt Failure - Disassembly and comparison to CJAA

[@gratefultrucker7781]

Wow you must be the best tdi channel on KZbin!

[@JoshsJettas]

Thank you

[@jlawlar]

I had a belt fail and it still was with in the mileage, thanks diesel geek, quality parts

[@JoshsJettas]

the 130k interval seems like a bit of a stretch to me, I usually tell people call me in 100K and we'll get it done sooner then later

[@B3NNi420]

Awesome video! Im extremely familiar with the ALH tdi's seeing as I fix and sell mk4's kinda as a hobby but i rarely get to see these newer common rail tdi's. If you had to choose between a CJAA, CKRA, and a CRUA, (and had to keep all the emissions equipment) which one would you own and why?

[@JoshsJettas]

Most mk4/mk5’s have rusted away around here sadly, and if they haven’t they’re going for cr money. Emissions intact would have to be ckra or the crua/cvca. The ckra has its own quirks but parts are easier to come by and cheaper then the one year only crua/cvca

[@baula338]

i was hoping the CJAA was next!

[@JoshsJettas]

It’s supposed to be a running/driving engine so I’d like to keep it together Incase I ever find a car needing an engine. I am always on the lookout for cheap engines with broken belts though.

Hi, I have plenty of ea288 2.0TDI for sale. Brand new 0 miles. I have 64 engines in stock. I want 3950 for fully dressed (injectors pump turbo alternator and a/c compressor mounted) and 2450 for long blocks. I'm in Nashville TN

[@cristian7477]

Do you know what the differences are between CRUA and DEJA ? I think this was the last variant of the engine before disappearing from the market. 🤔

[@TonyLebeau-yt3mi]

Would u have any ideas for problems with cjaa like I took off the hot air egr pipe and block it straight to the manifold but my tune didn’t like it cause I used to be at 22 psi now I’m at 25 would u have any idea and falls into limp mode and shot a code of p00af

[@JoshsJettas]

Is it tuned for egr delete?

[@hamwallet7069]

Randomly stumbled upon this. Got my mk7 at ~60k deleted it immediately. Been good to me so far ~100k even took a deer @ 70-75mph and kept driving. I am worried about serviceability down the line, but I’m hoping since delete and tune to get egr/def off I’ve extended my life. Going to add some water/meth to help clean A2W intercooler cleaner. Already have propane injection for gigs and 💩s

[@JoshsJettas]

I doubt there will be issues if buying new parts, used stuff will be an issue though

[@JAGooch]

Would you say the oil pump belt felt good at 350000km? Which timing belt change should that thing come out to be safe you think?

[@JoshsJettas]

I had asked that in one of the Facebook groups as I installed the belt kit on one at 175k km. General consensus of people that actually worked on these cars was not to worry much about it. I feel like I’d maybe do it on the second change imo just for peace of mind.

[@JAGooch]

@JoshsJettas that's what I was figuring as I am at 217k miles and the oil pan has to come off anyways for front seal.

[@Мимохідь]

​@@JAGooch Переднє ущільнення я теж міняв на 180 тисяч км. Нове теж протікає. Думаю,причина в тиску картерних газів. Треба зайнятись egr i dpf. Sorry,gentlmens, my English is bad.

[@Мимохідь]

My engine - 1.6 clha.

[@zachthompson5113]

Cool video Josh! Thanks for all you do! You’ve helped me a ton! Liked subscribed hit the bell and followed awhile back

[@JoshsJettas]

Thank you, glad the videos helped. Always fun to see what/how stuff fails

[@Superduty_59]

my 15 Passat has the CVCA with the 6M. Didn't the CRUA come in Jettas or Golfs?

[@JoshsJettas]

Golf’s got the crua, Passat, Jetta, beetle got the cvca. I believe they’re very similar.

[@johnnyt1408]

Great video Josh, always fun tearing into the destruction

[@Superduty_59]

Thanks for the info!@@JoshsJettas

[@jonathancantor93]

Cjaa disassembly video please

[@DenverSpatz-um7ml]

It’s rare Volkswagen builds a brand new engine with all new engineering

[@JoshsJettas]

And then only gets to use it for one year in the North American market
