Three cylinder

3L 1.2 TDI

This inline three cylinder is notorious for being the powerplant of the Lupo 3L and A2 3L, both VAG cars with a low consumption of only three liters per hundred kilometers (94 mpg/78 US mpg). It is based on the 1.4 TDI version but the block is made of aluminium and the elements are lighter.

The 1.9 TDI is the emblematic turbodiesel from volkswagen, which developed 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 105 hp version is used on new models, like the Golf V, the Jetta and the new Passat. See TDI
