Sorry but you are speaking in another language.
EA288 engine was a popular power plant. Guess I’ll try some other source or find a manual for that engine. A 2015 Jetta TDI engine. Why is this a mystery or misinformation about what I thought was common knowledge. Replacing a thermostat in a diesel engine.
Not here it wasn't. As others have stated, for the North American market, it was ONLY used for the 2015 model year. That's it. And the topic of THIS THREAD is not about that engine at all. Speaking English. Cannot make it any clearer. This thread is about 2009-2014 CJAA and CBEA engines, and the DPF issue they have. That's it. Not complicated.
1.4-2.0 litre EA288: 3&4 cylinder

edit]
The EA288 engine family is based on the EA189 engine family.
[3] EA288 diesel shares displacement,
bore pitch, stroke and bore ratio with the EA189 and the new EA211 gasoline engines.
[4] It is a family of 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder diesel engines featuring modular diesel engine system (MDB (Modularer Diesel Motor Baukasten)),
[5][6][7] with dual-loop EGR system, with high pressure EGR and a cooled low-pressure EGR loops; variable valve train (VVT) with a camshaft adjuster, Bosch CRS 2-20 2000 bar common rail injection system, cylinder pressure control, a modular close-coupled after treatment system that includes a flow-through catalyst followed by a wall-flow diesel particulate filter (DPF). Euro 6 and US Tier 2 emission compliance is achieved via NOx adsorber-based system for smaller size vehicles or urea-SCR system for larger vehicles. Other features included low-friction bearings for the camshaft and balancer shafts, piston rings that have less pre-tension, a two-stage oil pump with volumetric flow control.
[8][9]
The engine's displacements were 1.4 litres (3 cylinders), 1.6 litres (4 cylinders) and 2.0 litres (4 cylinders),
[10][11] with power output between 66 and 176 kW.
