List of Volkswagen Group petrol engines
This page lists automobile engines that Volkswagen has used. Since Volkswagen is European, most of the ratings are in metric horsepower or Pferdestärke (PS, 735.5 watts). The metric power in kW is the reference in case of conflict.
Petrol Engines
Four Cylinders
The EA111 series was introduced in the mid 1970s in the Audi 50 and later the VW Polo. It is a series of three- and four-cylinder petrol and Diesel engines in a variety of sizes. The overhead cam engine features a crossflow cylinder head design and directly-driven auxiliary units.

140/170 hp 1.4 TSI
Annouced at the 2005 Frankfurt auto show to be used in the Golf GT, The 1.4l “Twincharger” is a twin-supercharged FSI engine with a turbocharger and a mechanically driven compressor in combination. Its downsizing leads to economy, with 14% more power than the 2.0 FSI but consumming 5% less fuel. The mechanical compressor operates at low engine speeds below 2400 rpm to increase low-end power, the turbocharger engages at middle revs, a clutch disengage the supercharger which will then be bypassed once the turbocharger reaches sufficient speed to provide boost above 3500 rpm.
- Configuration
- 1390 cm³ inline 4
- Head
- four-valve, 10:1 compression ratio
- Block
- grey cast iron, bore * stroke ratio 76.5 * 75.6 mm, 120 bar peak pressures
- Fuel
- FSI direct petrol injection up to 150 bar, high-pressure injection multiple-hole valve with six fuel outlet elements, injector on the intake side between the intake port and cylinder head seal level

- Output
- 125 kW (170 PS) at 6000 rpm, 240 (MEP 21.7 bar) Nm from 1750 to 4500 rpm , 200 Nm from 1250 to 6000 rpm, 7000 rpm max in the Golf GT

90-150 hp 1.9 TDI
The 1.9 TDI is the emblematic turbodiesel from volkswagen, which introduced the notion of various ouputs of the same engine. In the Passat, the 90 hp was introduced in 1993, the 110 hp in 1996 and the first TDI with pumpjet direct injection in 1998 with 115 hp. The EA086 is built in Puebla, Mexico for north america. These have progressively been discontinued, and now only the new 105hp version is used on new models, like the Golf V, the Jetta and the new Passat. See TDI
