Volkswagen Golf Plus 2005 1.6 16V FSI engine BLF
Engine reliability and common problems:
Owners of vehicles with this engine often report difficulties starting in cold weather. Carbon buildup tends to cause sticking in the intake valves, throttle body, and EGR valve, leading to performance issues.The timing chain, a Morse-type plate or toothed chain rather than a roller chain, is quieter but highly sensitive to oil quality. It often stretches prematurely. Early FSI engines introduced an important lesson for drivers: parking on an incline while in gear, without engaging the handbrake, could cause the chain to skip. This skipping, due to the lack of a locking mechanism in the hydraulic tensioner, results in misaligned timing and bent valves upon startup.
Engines feature an oil pump capable of maintaining a consistent oil pressure of 3.5 bar across most speed ranges. This fully mechanical pump has proven to be reliable over time.
Some components, such as ignition coils, the thermostat, and the variable valve timing regulator, have a relatively short lifespan. Additionally, after 100,000 km, piston rings often begin to stick, leading to increased oil consumption.
Overall, this engine can last around 220,000 to 370,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
The engine has hydraulic valve tappets (lifters), which provide quieter operation and do not require periodic adjustment, but are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in the event of failure.
