Today we are tearing down a DESTROYED Volkswagen GTI 2.0L EA888 Engine from a 2010 Golf.
Every week I publish a new engine teardown video dismantling some of the most blown up, complicated and otherwise unbelievably failed engines. Here are a few of my favorites:
Audi S6 5.2L V10    • DEVASTATED Audi S6 5.2L V10 Engine Te...  
Dodge Ram 8.0L V10    • 8 LITERS OF DESTRUCTION! Dodge Ram V1...  
BMW N63 Hot-V Turbo V8    • BMW HOT-V N63 V8 Engine Destruction! ...  
Chevrolet Silverado 3.0L LM2 Duramax    • WARRANTY REJECTED!? 2020 Silverado 15...  

My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto dismantling business and part of our model includes dismantling bad engines to salvage the good parts from and recycle the rest. This engine was a core return from a salvage yard so I do not know the exact miles. This is a second generation of EA888 which while somewhat problematic, can easily be made to last as long as you don't do everything the owner of this GTi did.
This engine is absolutely WRECKED. Virtually. no parts survived as the carnage was poorly confined, quite literally. The quality of the repairs seen, the type of parts used, and the overall condition just oozes incompetence and while the EA888 is complicated, this example is HARDLY something I would judge these by.

As always I hope you enjoyed this teardown. I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!
