Description
CAWA / CAWB 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen1 Bare Engine / Long Block – VAG Replacement Engine
This CAWA / CAWB bare engine is a complete long block assembly built to OEM standards for VAG (Volkswagen Audi Group) vehicles. It is the first‑generation EA888 2.0‑litre turbocharged direct‑injection engine, featuring DOHC 16‑valve cylinder head, variable valve timing on the intake shaft, and a KKK K03 turbocharger. The assembly provides a factory‑fresh foundation for your engine swap or rebuild, saving you time and money compared to repairing a worn or seized unit.
Important compatibility note: The EA888 Gen2 version (e.g., CAEA / CAEB / CDNB / CDNC) is widely used as a direct replacement for this Gen1 engine. If you prefer a later‑generation unit, please contact us for availability and compatibility confirmation.
