Reliability and repair of engines 2.0 TSI (2 gen.)
The second generation 2.0 TSI appeared in 2008 and replaced the 1st generation EA888 (CAW and CCT). It was based on the second-generation 1.8 TSI (CDA and CDH). Here there were about the same changes as in its younger brother: the crankshaft with 52 mm journals instead of 58 mm was used, the chon was made differently to reduce friction, new pistons and rings of special design were used, adjustable oil pump, 2 lambda probes were installed, the engine was pulled up to Euro-5 ecological class.
But there is something here, which is not present on 1.8 TSI gen 2. Here they installed AVS (Audi valvelift system) on the exhaust camshaft, which can switch the valve lift height between two modes: 6.35 mm or 10 mm. The mode change takes place after 3100 rpm.
The intake shaft is fitted with a variable valve timing system, just like on the 1st generation EA888.
All this provides 211 hp at 4300-6000 rpm, torque increased to 350 Nm at 1500-4200 rpm. Such indicators could boast the engines CDNC and CAEB.
CDNC engines complied with Euro-5 class, and CAEB engines were produced under the ULEV 2 standard.
There were produced software retrimmed motors CAEA for North America and CDNB for Europe, which had 180 hp at 4000-6000 rpm and 320 Nm of torque at 1500-3900 rpm.
In Europe, CCZ series motors were sold, which differed from the CDN in that they did not have the AVS system. Such engines are: CCZA, CCZB, CCZC and CCZD. All of them have the same hardware but different firmware. Their power output is 211, 200, 170 and 180 hp respectively. The torque of all the motors is 280 Nm at 1700-5000 rpm.
The production of these motors continued until 2015, when they were completely displaced by the 3rd generation 2.0 TSI.
Disadvantages and problems of 2.0 TSI (2nd generation) engines
Your engine is a complete analog of the 1.8 TSI CDAB, CDAA and other motors of this series. All of them suffer from the same diseases: high oil consumption for various reasons, timing chain replacement after 100 thousand kilometers, unstable revs, etc. We wrote about all this in this material.
Regarding oil consumption, for 2.0 TSI pistons are changed to Kolbenschmidt 40247600 with 21-th pin. If the cylinders have a workout and need to be turned under the pistons of the repair size, then buy pistons of the first repair Kolbenschmidt 40247610 or 40247620 for the second repair.
Tuning engines 2.0 TSI CDNC
Chip tuning
Adding power to this engine is easier than you might imagine. It is enough to go to tuners and pour the firmware Stage 1, it will immediately give up to 280 hp, torque up to 440-450 Nm, and on sports fuel even 300 hp. This is a good result, but it is better to do wisely and immediately put downpipe, cold intake, larger intercooler and firmware under Stage 2. This will give 300 hp on 98 gasoline and 460 Nm of torque, and on sport fuel you can remove up to 320 horses and about 550 Nm of torque.
These are excellent figures, but if you want more, then you need to buy a turbo kit based on K04-064 with a good exhaust on 76 mm pipe, new NGK plugs, large intercooler and cold intake – a typical variant for 2.0TSI. There are countless cars built like this and just about any tuner can replicate it. This will give you up to 350 hp on 98 gasoline and under 500 Nm of torque. On sport fuel, such motors can produce up to 370-380 hp and 550 Nm of torque.
