So I was going to reply to mention that all VWs sold in the US at least for the last 10 years use an iron block. I wanted to know if the EA888 (VWs go to 4 cylinder engine) was cast so I asked chatgpt.

"No — the VW EA888 Gen 3 engine block is not cast iron in the latest versions. engines.... use an aluminum alloy block, not traditional cast iron."

So I know for sure it's iron so I said "Are you sure it's an aluminum block on the gen 3"

"No — the VW/Audi EA888 Gen 3 engine does not have an aluminum block"
