What engine code is your car ? Here in india we only get the 2.0 tsi dkza engine. Is that capable of similar power levels ?

Hey guys i own an skoda octavia 1.8 tsi 2010, the car was running great untill few days back, the car started to spark knock under heavy load like 4th gear acceleration, the car has been remaped to stage 2, ive been using regular 87 octane fuel. It seem to knock between 2-3k rpm when under load on anything above 3rd gear. Its sounds definitely like a spark knock and only does it when its under boost. I can hear the boost building up and then it spark knocks. Ive tried gas from different petrol stations but the result is always the same. I am attaching a youtube link in which the car knocks exactly like mine does. Please shed some light on it. Thank you. https://youtu.be/10CrEDc0F_0

Thank you everyone for there rplys. I do have a small oil leak from the timing cover, but i guess that not much oil is dripping through there. Will get that fixed and see if the oil consumption reduces. Thank you again.

Thanks warrior for the reply. The vw’s accepted oil use figures are .5L per 1000kms. The smoke is black for sure not blue. Ill check what’s causing the underboost issue and get back. Thanks again for the reply.

Hello guys, i am an owner of skoda octavia 2 1.8 tsi 2010. It has done 95000kms. The car is running great, has good compression, all the cylinders over 185psi. My problem is that it is consuming oil, 1 liter at 1500kms and when the car is standing still and i rev it, black smoke comes out of the exhaust (there is a code for turbo underboost p0299 which i think is diverter valve), not very much visible, but can barely capture in a mobile video. My question is since it is a gen 2 tsi and ive read many people having problem with oil consumption, what is considered normal oil consumption in these engines. And what kind of oil consumption you guys are dealing with the ea888 gen2? I really want to keep the car, i bought it a few months ago. If there is some serious problem that needs to be addressed ill sell the car. Thank you.

I would really like to know if it is possible to install the ihi is20 turbo on the gen 2 1.8 tsi. I am aware that it’s possible to upgrade the turbo to k04 but i would like to know about the possibility of installing a ihi turbo on it. thanks

Hey man you didn’t answer my question did you try changing this part ?

How would one find out the problem then ? If our way is wrong, please tell me your way of diagnosis. What would you do..?

What about the cam bridge ? If the screen on this this goes, its unable to supply enough oil to the camshafts. This part in the picture

Hey man. Sorry i am bothering you this much, but i am myself trying to figure out the problem. Did you change the camshaft control valve. This lil thing in the picture ?

Hey man can you share the pictures once again ? The uploaded image is not being displayed.

I mean did you try it after replacing the camshaft adjuster magnet ?
