What problems does the Volkswagen Golf TSI engine have?
Years 2008-2012

Answer

The golf TSI engine has been produced in many different versions: 1.2; 1.4; 1.6; 2.0. If we want to talk about the 1.2 version, its biggest problem is the chain distribution, which wears out very quickly and in the first versions could slip within the first 30,000 km.
