What is the lifespan of the third-generation EA888 in kilometers?

[LeTucker]

The lifespan of the third-generation EA888 is 600,000 kilometers. The Volkswagen EA888 engine is a newly designed engine by Volkswagen, incorporating a series of technologies such as direct fuel injection, turbocharging, and variable valve timing, achieving a balance between power and economic environmental protection. Building on the first two generations, the third-generation engine significantly optimized the oil burning issue and reduced the failure rate. The third-generation EA888 engine introduced new technologies such as hybrid injection (direct fuel injection + manifold injection) and an integrated exhaust manifold in the cylinder head. Additionally, the EA888 engine features dual balance shafts located on both sides of the lower end of the cylinder block, driven by the crankshaft and chain. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the two balance shafts is opposite to that generated by the crankshaft, canceling out most of the vibrations. This enhances the engine's dynamic balance characteristics and reduces noise.
