Are there any issues with the newer 2.0 L engines clogging up like in the past ?

Not that I’ve read about and not that wouldn’t be covered by the 11/162K emissions warranty.

What are you referring to when you say "clogging up"?

I was thinking DPF clogging, which the emissions warranty would cover.

When the OP says "engines clogging up like in the past" I think the OP is referring to the engine and not the exhaust...I am going to venture a guess he is referring to the intake clogging up...?

...or the heater core? The mind boggles when you say "clogging".

Heh, the pre-ULSD days of intake clogging seems like child's play compared to the potential problems the newer cars have. We left the intake clogging from the past, in the past. Welcome to 2007.

Good ol' intake clogging. I'm not sure if that is what the OP was referring to but it is what I first thought of. Next it was "No intake clogging, just HPFP explosions." To be fair, while HPFP failures happen, intake clogging was going to happen.Heh, the pre-ULSD days of intake clogging seems like child's play compared to the potential problems the newer cars have.

Are you guys saying that CCV / EGR-related intake clogging is something I shouldn't be worrying about? I had the impression that this was an issue more or less universal to DI engines (particularly diesels).
It seems to be a big issue in the BMW world, so much so that there's a recall on the diesel cars for intake inspection and cleaning / replacement if needed.

There are 100 other things, including the car being hijacked by flying monkeys in clown suits, that I would be worried about more than the intake clogging on any TDI today.

Well, that's a bit of a relief! Or not. Mine is approaching 100k with nearly no issues (touch wood) and I'm hoping to keep it at least 200k.
The biggest issue I have is that mine seems to attract dents and dings like nobody's business. Thinner sheet metal or just more jerks than when I had my B4 Passat?

It is all relative. Eventually everything will fail.so you're implying a HPFP will never fail?
Lucky us it's just been extended beyond the miles we've been seeing.
