The following articles list Volkswagen Group engines which are available worldwide. These include motor vehicle engines, marine engines sold by Volkswagen Marine [1] and industrial engines sold by Volkswagen Industrial Motor.
An all new cylinder head was needed for the Audi-developed Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI), which features cylinder-direct fuel injection straight into the combustion chambers. The result of needing to site both spark plug and fuel injector meant that the former five-valve layout had to be changed to a four-valve-per-cylinder arrangement.
Of their eight-cylinder petrol engines, all Volkswagen Group V8 engines are primarily constructed from a lightweight cast aluminium alloy cylinder block (crankcase) and cylinder heads. They all use multi-valve technology, with the valves being operated by two overhead camshafts per cylinder bank (sometimes referred to as 'quad cam').
Its inline six cylinder block is constructed from grey cast iron, and has seven main bearings to support the die-forged steel crankshaft. The cast aluminium alloy cylinder head contains two valves per cylinder each with two concentric valve springs, and shim-adjustable bucket tappets.
Based on the Audi B5 S4 2.7 V6 biturbo, this engine was tuned by Cosworth Technology (now MAHLE Powertrain), and featured enlarged intake and exhaust ports on the cylinder heads, two uprated parallel turbochargers, and two side-mounted intercoolers (SMICs), together with new induction and exhaust systems, and a re-calibrated engine management ...
List of discontinued Volkswagen Group diesel engines.The compression-ignition diesel engines listed below were formerly used by various marques of automobiles and commercial vehicles of the German automotive concern, Volkswagen Group, [1] and also in Volkswagen Marine [2] and Volkswagen Industrial Motor [3] applications, but are now discontinued.
However, a new cylinder head is fitted to this "PD" engine, to accommodate "Pumpe Düse" Unit Injectors. identification parts code prefix: 038, 03G (VAG group indicate higher output models by a red 'I' on their TDI badge, e.g. 96 kW model Audi B6 A4. Because of this, the term 'red I' has entered into automotive technicians parlance)
For aircraft use, a number of experimenters, who were seeking a small, two-cylinder, four-stroke engine, began cutting Type 1 VW engine blocks in half, creating a two-cylinder, horizontally opposed engine. The resulting engine produces 30 to 38 hp (22 to 28 kW). Plans and kits have been made available for these conversions. [20] [21]
