1.8, 2.0 and 2.2 16v EW7/EW10/EW12 vs 2.3 VR5 (V5): which engine is more reliable?
According to our risk index, the 1.8, 2.0 and 2.2 16v EW7/EW10/EW12 carries less risk than the 2.3 VR5 (V5): 14/100 (low risk) versus 32/100 (moderate risk). The 1.8, 2.0 and 2.2 16v EW7/EW10/EW12 has no documented serious faults; the 2.3 VR5 (V5) has 1 documented serious fault, the main one being «Timing chain stretch».
The index (0–100) weights the severity and frequency of the three most serious documented faults. How it is calculated
Is the 1.8, 2.0 and 2.2 16v EW7/EW10/EW12 reliable?
The EW10 (2.0) and EW12 (2.2) are naturally aspirated 16-valve petrol engines with a timing belt, which PSA fitted between 1999 and 2010 to the 206, 307, 406, 407, 607, 807, C4, C5 and C8, among others. According to owners there are no frequent internal failures: the most-cited problems are the ignition coils (the only fault also reported by the press), the exhaust and, on the 2.2, oil consumption.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
See the of the 1.8, 2.0 and 2.2 16v EW7/EW10/EW12 faultIs the 2.3 VR5 (V5) reliable?
The 2.3-litre VR5 is a naturally aspirated five-cylinder with the timing chain at the rear of the engine. Gebrauchtwagenberater rates it as a buy with no known problems in the Golf IV, but in the Bora it warns that the chain sometimes stretches; AutoHints adds the coils and the plastic coolant parts as points to watch.[9][10][11][12]
