Hey guys,
This is my first post here and apologies if it's in the wrong section.
So about 2-3 weeks ago I bought a 2010 Volkswagon Jetta 118 TSI (CAV). The engine died a few days ago and was told it needed to be replaced. I made the mistake of putting normal Unleaded petrol in and not premium which would have contributed
After a bit of research I've seen that this is a pretty common issue with this engine. So I've found a replacement engine that belonged to a 2011 Jetta 118 TSI CAV. My question is will this 2011 Jetta engine be a perfect fit into my 2010 Jetta? My engine number is CAV140584.
Is an engine from the 2011 model better than the 2010 one? I read that the Eco Mapping in the 2010 model contributed heavily to the engines getting damaged is that right? That was why I was looking for a 2011 engine so I could be sure that it came from a car that didn't have issues with the eco mapping.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks guys!
If you can, the improved 1.4 engine is the CTH.
