Character
EA211 1.0 MPI (CHYA/CHYB/DLAC/DKRA)
"Naturally aspirated port-injected three-cylinder in the up!, Mii, Citigo, Fabia and Polo. No turbo and no direct-injection carbon; German guides recommend it over the 1.0 TSI. Watch for coolant leaks from the plastic pump/thermostat module, keep the toothed belt on schedule, and change oil on time - early CHYA engines can clog the camshaft-control oil valve."
EA211 1.0 TSI
"Three-cylinder turbo with a dry toothed belt (not a chain) in the Polo, Fabia, Ibiza, T-Roc, Golf and Octavia. German and Czech guides call it robust, with 200,000 km not unusual. Watch for a slow coolant leak from the plastic pump/thermostat module, check the 2018-2020 injector recall, and keep the belt on the interval for your engine code."
