List of Volkswagen Group petrol engines


The spark-ignition petrol engines listed below operate on the four-stroke cycle, and unless stated otherwise, use a wet sump lubrication system, and are water-cooled.
Since the Volkswagen Group is German, official internal combustion engine performance ratings are published using the International System of Units, a modern form of the metric system of figures. Motor vehicle engines will have been tested by a Deutsches Institut für Normung accredited testing facility, to either the original 80/1269/EEC, or the later 1999/99/EC standards. The standard initial measuring unit for establishing the rated motive power output is the kilowatt ; and in their official literature, the power rating may be published in either the kW, or the metric horsepower, or both, and may also include conversions to imperial units such as the horsepower or brake horsepower. ; ˜ 0.98632 hp ). In case of conflict, the metric power figure of kilowatts will be stated as the primary figure of reference. For the turning force generated by the engine, the Newton metre will be the reference figure of torque. Furthermore, in accordance with European automotive traditions, engines shall be listed in the following ascending order of preference:
  1. Number of cylinders,
  2. Engine displacement,
  3. Engine configuration, and
  4. Rated motive power output.
The petrol engines which Volkswagen Group previously manufactured and installed are in the list of discontinued Volkswagen Group petrol engines article.

Nomenclature

Both vehicle and engine platforms developed by Volkswagen are specified internally as an Entwicklungsauftrag, or development assignment. The numbers denoting a particular Entwicklungsauftrag don't follow a strictly chronological scheme but have generally increased over time.

EA211 R3/R4

The EA211 engines are a completely new four-cylinder turbocharged and direct-injection TSI engines. Compared to its predecessor, the EA211 series is significantly more compact, with installation length shorter, thus offering more interior space. The installation position of the engines has also been optimised. Just as in the diesels, the petrol engines are now mounted with the exhaust side facing backwards and tilted at an angle of 12 degrees. The weight of these petrol engines made of die-cast aluminium is only for the 1.2 TSI and for the 1.4 TSI. The crankshaft alone became lighter by 20 per cent; the connecting rods lost 30 per cent of their weight. In addition the connecting rod bearing journals are now hollow-drilled and pistons now come with flat bottoms, all of them optimized for lower weight.
Regarding thermal management, the EA211 petrol engine is equipped with a modern dual-circuit cooling system. That means that a high temperature circuit with a mechanically driven cooling pump cools the basic engine, while a low temperature circuit flows through the intercooler and the turbo-charger casing. The cylinder-head circuit heats the cabin's interior. The exhaust manifold is integrated into the cylinder head, enabling the engine to warm up more quickly, in turn making heat available quickly for the passenger cabin. At high loads, the exhaust is cooled by the coolant, lowering fuel consumption.

1.2 R4 inline-four TSI

These newly developed generation of modern petrol engines are manufactured at the Škoda Auto plant in Mladá Boleslav.
;identification: EA211 engine family. Turbocharged and direct-injection TSI engines with a four-cylinder, four-valve layout and belt driven camshafts.
;1.2 TSI 66 kW:The entry-level petrol engine. Turbocharging produces a maximum torque of 160 Nm.
;1.2 TSI 77 kW:The improved performance version of the 1.2 TSI Green tec, which includes a start/stop system and brake energy recuperation, manages an output of 77 kW. This TSI engine provides a maximum torque of 175 Nm at between 1,400 and 4,000 rpm.

1.4 TSI

For 2012, these newly developed generation of modern petrol engines are manufactured at the Škoda Auto plant in Mladá Boleslav.
;identification:parts code prefix: 04E
;description:1.4 TFSI Green tec engine with 110 kW. This engine achieves its maximum torque of 250 Nm at 1,500 to 3,500 rpm.
In North American market it is referred to as CZTA type engine.
In Chilean market it is referred to as CHPA type engine or CZDA type engine.
New lightweight aluminum construction, an integrated exhaust manifold, and a toothed-belt drive for its double overhead
camshaft valvetrain that incorporates variable intake and exhaust timing. The only aspect to be carried over from the EA111 engine that
preceded it is the 82 mm cylinder spacing. The cylinder bore was decreased by 2 mm while the stroke was increased to 80mm, a
change which helps compactness, increases torque, and is ideal for adding boost.

EA113 R4

The EA827 family of internal combustion engines was initially developed by Audi under Ludwig Kraus leadership and introduced in 1972 in the Audi 80, and was eventually superseded by the EA113 evolution introduced in 1993. Both share the same cylinder spacing. The latter EA113 was updated with Fuel Stratified Injection direct injection, to be topped by the 2.0 TFSI used in the Audi TTS. Forty million engines have been produced. This range will eventually be superseded by the evolved version with heavy changes EA888 project, introduced with the 1.8 TSI/TFSI below, but the EA113 still remains in production.

1.4 R4 16v TSI/TFSI

Based on the EA111, this new engine was announced at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show, to be first used in the Mk5 Golf GT, the 125 kW 1.4-litre TSI engine is a "Twincharger", and uses both a turbocharger and a supercharger. Its displacement downsizing leads to improved fuel economy, with 14% more power than the 2.0 FSI, but consuming 5% less fuel. The mechanical supercharger compressor, driven at 5 times the speed of the crankshaft, mainly operates at low engine speeds from idle up to 2,400 revolutions per minute to increase low-end torque. At engine speeds just above idle, the belt-driven supercharger provides a boost pressure of. The turbocharger assumes full effectiveness at middle revs, and the engine map disengages the clutch-controlled supercharger at a maximum upper limit of 3,500 rpm; the supercharger will then be bypassed once the turbocharger spools up and reaches sufficient speed to provide adequate boost in the upper rev-ranges. This engine is made at Volkswagen-Motorenfertigung, Chemnitz.
In 2007, Volkswagen announced the 90 kW model which will replace the 1.6 FSI engine. This engine differs from the 103 kW and 125 kW models in several ways. It uses only one method of forced induction – a turbocharger, and has water-cooled intercooler. The engine has reduced frictional losses, optimised camshafts, new intake ports, and new high-pressure injector valves. It is also lighter than the 125 kW model, in order to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions.
