Description
CHHA / CHHB 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen3 Bare Engine / Long Block – VAG Replacement Engine
This CHHA / CHHB bare engine is a complete long block assembly built to OEM standards for VAG (Volkswagen Audi Group) vehicles. It is the third‑generation EA888 2.0‑litre turbocharged direct‑injection engine, featuring Dual VVT (phase regulator on both intake and exhaust shafts), AVS (Audi Valvelift System), and a robust cast‑iron block with an aluminium 16‑valve head. The engine is supplied with dual injection (FSI + MPI) for improved efficiency and emissions compliance.
The assembly is available in two power variants: the CHHB producing 220 hp and 350 Nm, and the CHHA producing 230 hp and 350 Nm. Both use the IHI IS20 turbocharger. The core long block is identical for both codes, making this a flexible replacement for a wide range of VAG models.
