The AXX were the first GTI Engines and these had Crown Pistons from factory. Better than the later engines as they have a much stronger bottom end.

Another AXX running ok - diesely noise at idle but performs well and uses no oil after 2 months of ownership.

Had the AXX now for 3 months, pretty tappety and loud once warmed up but pretty normal for most of these 2.0 tfsi's.

Clocked up 3,000 miles in that time, getting through maybe a litre of oil if that (always driven in a spirited manner and @ stage 2).
