Description
CDAA / CDAB 1.8 TSI EA888 Gen2 Bare Engine / Long Block – VAG Replacement Engine
This CDAA / CDAB bare engine is a complete long block assembly built to OEM standards for VAG (Volkswagen Audi Group) vehicles. It is the second‑generation EA888 1.8‑litre turbocharged direct‑injection engine, available in two power outputs: the CDAB (152 hp / 250 Nm) and the CDAA (160 hp / 250 Nm).
