Yeah, they have came a LONG ways in the recent years. The changes to the current 2.0T are really nice. They are finally focusing on reliability.

Good stuff. I wonder how serviceable they'll be. Are they still using a timing belt?

Heh. I tend to disagree. I have replaced more than one 2.0T camshaft and fuel pump because of inadequate lubrication (by design.) They are far harder to service than the 1.8s too.

The 2.0 runs great but it's still a VW at the end of the day, and they are built to look and feel nice when new, not to last.

The new EA888 uses timing chain.

Are you talking about the EA888 or the EA113?

perhaps but the idea of coors field/ union station excites me for photo ops. I have not driven north past wash park into denver since I bought

[Bishop]

You'd rather photo shoot in Denver, near buildings that will always be accessible, rather than at a track, around track cars / racing environment that's not regularly open to spectators? Jus' sayin.

Can we swap it?

[Roland H]

Can we swap it?

[blefevre]

They make lead weights we can bolt down to fix that.
