OEM Volkswagen Engine & Components

Your Volkswagen has many engine parts, each with a different job to do. Intake valves regulate the engine's air and fuel, while pistons pressurize the mix. Spark plugs ignite the mix, causing combustion, while exhaust valves regulate the resulting fumes. There are also valve covers to protect valves, a camshaft to help coordinate the valves' activities, and a cylinder head to help keep gases and motor oil from leaking. There's even a crankshaft to turn engine power into rotary motion, which drive shaft and the transmission use to move the wheels and tires. Last, but not least, there's an oil sump or oil pan, which stores the engine oil used to lubricate everything.

Many other components ensure everything fits together properly. When any stop working, though, more often than not, engine problems follow. Signs of them include:

• A lit Check Engine light
• Increased exhaust emissions
• A drop in fuel economy
• Issues accelerating
• Long warm-up times
• Rougher idling
• Stall-outs
• The inability to start your car or SUV at all

If you see any, plug in a code reader and run a careful engine inspection to get a better idea of what's going on.
