The Audi CCGA is a 1,395 cc, inline — four turbocharged petrol engine produced between 2016 and 2021. Part of the Volkswagen Group’s EA211 TSI engine family, it features a lightweight aluminium block, direct fuel injection, and turbocharging. With outputs of 85 kW (116 PS) and 200 Nm of torque, it delivers responsive performance ideal for compact urban vehicles while maintaining efficiency.
Fitted to models such as the Audi A1 (GB), A3 (8V facelift), and SEAT Ibiza Mk5, the…
Production years 2016–2018 meet Euro 6c standards; 2019–2021 models comply with Euro 6d-TEMP .
The Audi CCGA is a 1,395 cc inline-four turbocharged petrol engine engineered for compact models (2016–2021). It combines TSI direct injection with a low-inertia turbocharger to deliver strong low-end responsiveness and efficient fuel use. Designed to meet Euro 6 emissions standards, it balances urban agility with regulatory compliance.

The Audi CCGA was used across Audi's GB and 8V platforms with transverse mounting in front-wheel-drive configurations. This engine received platform-specific calibrations—slightly retuned throttle response in the A1 and revised cooling circuits in A3 Sportback variants—and from 2019 the switch to Euro 6d-TEMP brought gasoline particulate filter (GPF) integration, creating interchange limits. Shared use within the Volkswagen Group extended to SEAT and Volkswagen models with minor software differences. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
Diagnostic reminder: If a technician has recommended replacing the engine, you can send an enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. Confirm the diagnosis first: an engine-code record does not diagnose a fault.
Field reports and technical service bulletins highlight component wear patterns under high-load operation. Adherence to manufacturer service intervals and approved fluid specifications is critical for long-term reliability.

The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The CCGA is generally reliable when maintained properly, but the timing belt requires strict adherence to the 5-year or 120,000 km service interval. Early models (2016–2018) have a higher risk of belt and tensioner failure. Later revisions improved durability. Regular oil changes with VW 502 00/505 00 oil and periodic intake cleaning significantly improve longevity.
Key issues include timing belt wear (especially on pre-2019 models), intake carbon buildup, turbo actuator faults, and GPF clogging on post-2019 variants. These are documented in Audi service bulletins. Proper maintenance, correct oil, and regular highway driving can mitigate most risks.
The CCGA was used in the Audi A1 (GB, 2018–2021) and A3 (8V, 2016–2019). It powers front-wheel-drive variants in both hatchback and Sportback configurations. The engine is also shared across the Volkswagen Group in SEAT Ibiza Mk5, Volkswagen Polo Mk6, and Škoda Scala with minor calibration differences.
Aftermarket ECU tuning is common on the CCGA platform, but increasing boost or altering engine parameters accelerates component wear, impacts emissions compliance, and may void vehicle warranties. Any modifications should be evaluated carefully by a qualified specialist.
Excellent. In an A3 1.4 TFSI (85 kW) from 2017, combined consumption is ~5.2 L/100km (~54 mpg UK). Real-world figures range from 45–55 mpg UK depending on driving style. The 'ultra' efficiency variants achieve up to 60 mpg UK under optimal conditions. Highway driving yields best results due to consistent engine load.
Yes. The CCGA is an interference engine, meaning a timing belt failure can result in piston-to-valve contact and severe internal damage. Given the 5-year service interval, even low-mileage vehicles require belt replacement. Any signs of belt wear or tensioner noise should be addressed immediately.
Audi specifies VW 502 00 / 505 00 compliant synthetic oil (typically SAE 5W-30). This formulation ensures proper turbo lubrication and injector cleanliness. Change intervals are 15,000 km or annually under normal use. Using incorrect oil can lead to turbo failure, carbon buildup, and emissions system faults.
