Reliability, common problems and owner reviews for the Volkswagen Sharan II 2.0 TSI (CCZA). Check this before you buy used.
The 2.0 TSI (CCZA, EA888 Gen2/Gen3 transition) is the strong, well-matched petrol for the heavy Sharan — punchy and far better suited to seven seats than working the little 1.4 hard. The Gen2-derived units carry the oil-consumption caution (revised pistons are the fix), plus chain-tensioner attention and PCV/carbon. A documented car with controlled oil use and a healthy chain is a good engine; check oil-consumption history. Rare versus the diesels.
