Introduction

Technical features
Unlike the two previous TSI engines, the 1.4l 90kW TSI
engine is only charged with a turbocharger. It is
specially configured to deliver high torque in the
frequently used low rev ranges. The maximum torque
of 200Nm is reached between 1500rpm and
4000rpm.

Intake manifold with intercooler
The pressure and thus the intake air temperature rise due to the compression of the intake air from the
turbocharger. The charge air is cooled to ensure optimum cylinder filling. In the previous TSI engines with dual-
charging, this was performed via an air-to-air intercooler at the front end. An air-to-liquid intercooler is used on
the 1.4l 90kW TSI engine. An intercooler connected to the coolant system is built into the intake manifold.

The heated air flows through the intercooler and transfers a large part of its heat to the intercooler and the coolant.
The coolant is pumped to the intercooler by a coolant pump. It then flows back to the radiator for cooling at the
front end. The charge-air cooling system is a separate cooling system in which the turbocharger is also
incorporated.

charged exclusively by a turbocharger. Since only a

Turbocharger module

The turbocharger is designed for dynamics and fuel consumption. This means that the maximum torque is available
in the frequently used lower rev ranges. This is achieved by the inertia of masses of the moving parts inside the
turbocharger being kept as low as possible.
This overall configuration leads to the maximum torque of 200Nm being available at 1250rpm 80% and from
1500rpm 100% of the maximum torque of 200Nm. The maximum power is reached at 5000 to 5500rpm.

Schematic overview of turbocharging


The schematic diagram shows the basic set-up of the turbocharging system and the path of the intake air.
The biggest difference from the TSI engines with dual-charging is that there is no supercharger and the charge air
is cooled by an air-to-liquid intercooler in the intake manifold.

Engine Mechanics

Cooling systems
The 1.4l 90kW TSI engine has two separate cooling systems — one to cool the engine and a second one to cool the
charge air.
Both systems are separate apart from two connection points. These connection points allow an expansion tank to
be shared.
The temperature difference between the engine cooling system and the charge-air cooling system can be
up to 100°C.

Charge-air cooling
Volkswagen is using an air-to-liquid intercooler for the first time. An air-to-liquid intercooler in the intake manifold
is used to cool the charge air. This allows the size of the charge-air system from the turbocharger to the inlet valves
to be reduced by more than half from 11l in the 1.4l TSI engines with dual-charging to 4.8l in the 1.4l TSI engine with
turbocharger. The turbocharger has to compress a smaller volume and the necessary charge pressure is obtained
faster.
To cool the charge air, the coolant circulation pump is operated according to the requirements. It draws the coolant
from the additional radiator at the front end and pumps it to the intercooler and to the turbocharger. The
temperature difference between the air after the intercooler and the outside temperature is around 20°C to 25°C
with high load requirements.

Coolant circulation pump V50 To intercooler and turbocharger

The coolant circulation pump is operated as required.


It draws the coolant from the additional radiator for
charge air and pumps it to the intercooler in the
intake manifold and to the turbocharger.

Turbocharger

While the engine is running, the turbocharger is


mainly cooled by the engine oil. The coolant is only
transported to the turbocharger as required. When
the warm engine is switched off, the coolant
circulation pump is switched on for up to 480 seconds.
This prevents vapour locks forming in the
turbocharger coolant circuit.

Demand-regulated fuel system
The demand-regulated fuel system has to a great extent been taken from the existing TSI engines with dual-
charging. Both the electrical fuel pump and also the high-pressure fuel pump only convey the amount of fuel that
the engine requires at any given moment. The electrical and also the mechanical power used is thus as low as
possible and fuel is saved.
Whilst the low-pressure fuel system is identical, some changes have been made to the high-pressure fuel system.

High-pressure fuel pump S405_021

Pressure limiting valve

The pressure limiting valve is integrated into the high-


pressure fuel pump and protects the components
against excessive fuel pressure when there is heat
expansion or a malfunction.
It is a mechanical valve and opens when the fuel
pressure rises above 140 bar. It opens the route from
the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side in the
high-pressure fuel pump. The fuel is returned to the
high-pressure fuel system from there.

Pressure limiting valve S405_024

18
High-pressure fuel pump function
Fuel suction stroke Fuel pressure
regulating valve N276

During the suction stroke, a suction effect is created by


the downwards movement of the pump piston. This
opens the inlet valve and fuel is drawn into the pump
chamber. In the last third of the downwards movement
of the pump plunger, the fuel pressure regulating
valve is energised. As a result, the inlet valve also
remains open at the start of the upwards movement
for the fuel return.
