TSI – TSI brings together the power of FSI

direct fuel injection with
the extra oomph of a turbocharger. The end result? An ultra-efficient
engine that provides maximum torque from 1,700 to 5,000 rpm, gives
you outstanding performance through a wide range of speeds, power
when you really need it, ultra-low fuel consumption and, ultimately,
lower CO

emissions. The TSI engine is found in certain trim levels of
the Golf family, Tiguan, Eos and CC models.
TDI – Clean Diesel is the new way of driving diesel. “Clean Diesel”
encompasses two things: engine technology that reduces emissions to
extremely low levels, and the ultra-low sulphur diesel fuel now available
at pumps across the country that enables the technology. As for “TDI,” it
stands for Turbocharged Direct Injection. But how does all this work? In a
nutshell, the turbocharger supplies the engine with pressurized fresh air
for maximum efficiency during cylinder charging. After compression,
clean diesel fuel is injected straight into the cylinders at very high pressure.
This results in outstanding fuel economy, low emissions and a whole lot of
torque. And with engine noise and vibration drastically reduced with more
effective engine encapsulation, the old telltale sound of a diesel engine has
been reduced to a mere whisper. Now that’s something worth shouting
about. The TDI Clean Diesel engine lives in certain trim levels of the
all-new Jetta, the Golf family and the all-new Touareg.
