We were the first to bring direct diesel injection to passenger car comfort level,
and all our know-how comes into play: One of many examples are our twin-
spring fuel injectors. They split each injection process into two phases: A first,
tiny amount of fuel is pre-ignited at low pressure, and the computer-controlled
full amount is sprayed into the ongoing combustion. The results are steady
build-up of combustion pressure, less mechanical stress on the engine,
minimised emissions and minimised combustion noise. An additional benefit
is our noise absorption cover, reducing noise by another 2 db/A.
The current Volkswagen five cylinder range for displacers comprises
2 naturally aspirated engines (SDI 55-5 and SDI 75-5) and the turbocharged
TDI 100-5 and TDI 120-5.
