Volkswagen first launched the EA888 engine generation in spring 2007 (Gen 1). Additionally, the balance shaft concept has been changed to roller bearings. Other features include a new, lighter turbocharger/cylinder head assembly; the use of lightweight polymers for the oil pan, and use of aluminum for various screws and fasteners.
