VW Tiguan 5N 1.4 TSI TFSI Refurbished Base CAV CAVC CAVD CAVG

Buy Refurbished VW Tiguan 1.4 TSI Engine

When you choose a refurbished VW Tiguan 1.4 TSI engine, you are opting for a “zero-hour” mechanical refresh of one of Volkswagen’s most complex and rewarding powerplants. The 5N Tiguan utilized the EA111 Twincharger series (CAV), which uses both a supercharger for low-end grunt and a turbocharger for high-end speed. Our refurbishment process specifically targets the factory weak points of the CAV series—such as the piston ring lands and timing chain tensioners—ensuring that your replacement engine is more durable than the original unit that left the factory in 2011.

Technical Specs: VW 1.4 TSI CAVC CAVD Engine Specs

The VW 1.4 TSI CAVC CAVD engine specs represent the peak of “downsizing” technology, delivering the power of a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with the efficiency of a 1.4L.

• Engine Type: 1.4L Inline 4-Cylinder, 16V DOHC.

• Induction: Twincharged (Mechanical Supercharger + Exhaust Turbocharger).

• Power Output: 150 HP (CAVA/CAVC) to 160 HP (CAVD).

• Torque: 240 Nm available as low as 1,500 RPM, providing effortless acceleration in the Tiguan chassis.

• Bore & Stroke: 76.5mm x 75.6mm.

• Fuel Injection: Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI) Direct Injection for optimized combustion.

The Refurbishment Advantage: Addressing CAV Common Problems

A simple “used” engine often carries the same risks as your old one. A refurbished VW 1.4 TFSI engine from our stock has been meticulously overhauled to eliminate known failures:

• Upgraded Pistons: We install high-strength, oversized pistons with reinforced ring lands to prevent the common cracking issues found in original CAV engines.

• Revised Timing Kit: The outdated timing chain and tensioner are replaced with the latest revised versions to prevent “tooth jumping” and valve damage.

• Precision Machining: The block is honed to exact tolerances, and the cylinder head is pressure-tested and resurfaced to ensure a perfect head gasket seal.

• New Bearings & Seals: 100% new main and rod bearings, as well as OEM-grade gaskets and oil seals, are used throughout the assembly.

Engine Compatibility: CAVC, CAVD, CAVG, and CAVA

Understanding the VW CAV engine common problems & fixes across the different codes is essential for a perfect fitment.

• CAVA/CAVC: Typically found in the 150HP Tiguan models.

• CAVD: The 160HP variant often found in the Golf Mk6 and high-trim Tiguans.

• CAVG: The high-output 185HP version used in the Audi A1 and Polo GTI.

• Interchangeability: These engines share the same base block and head architecture. A refurbished “Base” engine can typically be used across these codes by transferring your original external accessories and ECU software.

Investment in Longevity: Refurbished VW 1.4 TFSI Engine Price

While the refurbished VW 1.4 TFSI engine price is higher than a standard salvage yard motor, it represents a long-term saving by avoiding the catastrophic failures associated with the EA111 series. In 2026, these Tiguans remain excellent daily drivers due to their build quality and fuel economy; a refurbished engine effectively resets the vehicle’s “life clock,” providing another 100,000+ miles of reliable service.
