The EA888 is one of the greatest engines ever developed. You can hardly get so much power, torque and fun combined with a relative low consumption anywhere else. In addition, the EA888 is a very reliable engine since the late Gen 2 model (end-2011 and newer). There is only one thing that you really need to have in mind with this engine: Do not even think of a Longlife oil change interval! This is the only way you can really harm this engine. As long as you give this engine a proper maintenance, you can drive it to the limit regularly and it will still last for a very long time.

All i have to say is this gen 3 is one smooth engine. Most people that get into my GTI ask at a stop if the engine is running or not. (I never use auto stop/start hate it) Very smooth power delivery as well. It's not perfect but don't know of a perfect engine from any manufacturers. Sure some fan boys of this brand or that brand will make claims but all engines out today have an Achilles heel somewhere.

@@eppyz I fixed that by getting myself a non res Cobra Sport catback (thankfully mk7 models dont have OPF) Wont help engine noise, but it sure as heck compensates esp on my larger 3inch GTI Clubsport pipes. I suppose your talking of less vibrations in engine as somthing built with better tolerances though? Kinda new to how engines work.

@@tredfxman yes talking about a bone stock 2020 GTI. Engine runs so smooth... My MK6 did too. Though the 7.5 does idle allot rougher on cold start vs my MK6. That even after the software update🤔 The idle reminds me of my Lancer Evo 9 idle on cold start.
