Hello,

I have a Canadian Golf with a CXB(B) engine, but can't find which iteration of the EA888 engine it is. According to one site (see link below) there are 3 versions, and I am trying to find out which one I have. Does anybody know for sure, without guesses or conjectures? Is there a way to find out?

Thank you!
M.

If this a 2015+ Golf then probably gen 3. Easiest way to tell is by looking at cylinder head side cover, where I believe you found the engine code. If one variable valve timing system (intake only) then it's either gen 1 or gen 2. Gen 3 added another variable vale timing system to the exhaust camshaft, so you'd be looking at two on the side cover.

Hope this helps!
