Summary

With the 1.4 litre 125 kW TSI engine with direct injection and dual charging, Volkswagen was the first volume manufacturer to introduce with great success a downsizing strategy which reduces CO2 emissions while also increasing driving fun. The new 1.4 l TSI with 88 kW and a single-stage turbocharger starts off the next step in the implementation in the field of cost-effective volume engines. The special technical features of the engine include the further development of the combustion process, simplification of the injector engineering, meticulously optimised turbocharger in conjunction with optimised charge exchange and a newly developed design for water-cooling charge air.
