TDI engine
What is the Volkswagen TDI engine?
Hard-working yet refined, powerful, economical and enduring: Volkswagen’s family of TDI turbocharged diesel engines commands every superlative. Using direct injection, Volkswagen diesels produce less CO2 emissions while offering supreme engine performance and outstanding fuel economy. All this, in turn, should lead to cost savings on maintenance, servicing, and running costs. Available across Volkswagen’s passenger, SUV, and commercial vehicle lines, the TDI engines are as smooth as they are capable — none more so than the powerful V6 unit that is available in the Touareg and Amarok. Volkswagen’s cutting-edge diesel engines feature diesel particulate filters for reduced potentially harmful particulate emissions into the environment.
Work hard, play hard
Volkswagen’s turbocharged diesel TDI engines feature the latest in common rail direct fuel injection technology, which injects precise amounts of fuel at extremely high pressure. This makes them responsive, incredibly efficient, and a pleasure to drive. Meanwhile, turbocharging delivers even more low-end torque in all units, to make the TDI a power player across the entire Volkswagen range.
