2.0 TDI CR 103-147kW Configuration inline four cylinder 1,968 cubic centimetres (120.1 cu in) Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI), Bore x Stroke (mm): 81 x 92.5 Head four valves per cylinder, DOHC, compression ratio: 18:1 (103kW), 16.5:1 (125kW) Fuel system Common Rail (CR) multi-point direct injection (DI) with 8 nozzle output, piezo elements, pressure up to 1850 bar Aspiration turbocharger, intercooler, water cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) Aspiration (200hp) twin registered turbochargers with different diameters Engine management Bosch EDC 17 Exhaust diesel particulate filter (DPF) Output 103 kilowatts (140 PS; 138 bhp)  3,750-4,150 rpm, 320 newton metres (236 ft·lbf) 1,750-2,800rpm 105 kilowatts (143 PS; 141 bhp) 4,200 rpm, 320 newton metres (236 ft·lbf) 1,750-2,500rpm 125 kilowatts (170 PS; 168 bhp) 4,200 rpm, 350 newton metres (258 ft·lbf) 1,750-2,500rpm 147 kilowatts (200 PS; 197 bhp) 4,400 rpm, 400 newton metres (295 ft·lbf) 2,500-3,000rpm Applications VW Tiguan, Audi A4 B8, SEAT Exeo, Skoda Superb Mk2 (125 kW), VW Jetta TDI Clean Diesel (140 hp), SEAT Leon Mk2, SEAT Altea, SEAT Toledo Mk3, Škoda Octavia 1Z (125 kW), VW Passat CC Interesting line up of VW diesel engines link title Believe it or not, here in lies the secret ..." 1,750-2,500rpm "... Max torque comes on at 1,750 and maxs out 2,500 rpms. Sure you can rev it out to redline 5,100 rpms. Much over 3,500 rpms and you really are just in the italian tune mode (no real effect) Keep it closer to, or slightly above 2,500 and the turbo is on boost. This thing in the correct gear will run all day/night xxx digit speeds and be happy as a clam. 09 oil consumption is still unknown (for me). The 03 TDI however consumes .25 to .5 qt in app 20,000 to 25,000 miles.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 01, 2009 7:10 am) 4,500 rpms (?) (no disrepect intended or implied I own a whinny Honda and guess how I drive it?..... and it gets 38-42 mpg in daily commuting !!?? Predictably they are usually dissapointed.  Again off topic but the real secret to best mpg in the Civic is again to drive the torque. (aka with the 4500/6100 rpms ratio or 75% in mind.

Replying to: ruking1 (Jul 01, 2009 7:17 am) Also I think it's kind of risky to rev a little diesel right up to redline all the time. We are talking about very high compression engines, here, and I do worry about the ability of the cylinder head itself and the head bolts and gasket to take all that day after day (comment is not specific to VW).

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 01, 2009 7:28 am) 6,100 rpms and 110 # ft of torque 4500 rpms, 36-42 mpg. Off the charts in comparison is the 03 TDI 90 hp/155# ft 2,950#'s or 435 #'s more while getting 48-52 mpg during the same point a to b commute. In addition, there are almost no comparisons any altitude (practically 2,000 to 8,000 ft). I guess one day I need to go back up to Pikes Peak (14,100 ft) |

Here is something a little depressing by J.D. Powers. Instead of the initial quality study, it's the long term study of 3 year old vehicles. In one report VW is 36 of 37 manufacturers and then the Jetta was 17 out of 18 vehicles in the compact class. Manufacturer Rank Compact Cars Ranking |

Replying to: tld (Jul 01, 2009 9:36 am)  indicates a whole lot of other things are going on besides fine quality, durability, reliability, etc. You would think those qualities would MASSIVELY correlate with extremely good sales. Not even Tiger Woods (like he needs introduction as Golf legend, entrepreneur, etc.) could generate enough interest for and in Buick !!?? As for bringing up the rear as VW does, it is a PROFITABLE company !!?? It is also poised to be a dominate force in the diesel market. It is truly the only one that have able to put a large minority (30% of Jetta models) of its model production in diesels. To do this in the worst model year sales in many years is also a feat. They are shooting for 40% of their US production as diesels !!! |

Replying to: ruking1 (Jul 01, 2009 11:47 am) Does a companies current profits necessarily equate to quality??? That must mean when the Detroit Three were making tons of money they must have been generating very good vehicles indeed. I like to turn negatives into positives but this one doesn't fly!!!
