Polo sedan with a new engine. The most reliable Volkswagen gasoline engines according to owner reviews Which engine is the best for Volkswagen

The Volkswagen concern (VW) is one of the world's most powerful automakers after the legendary General Motors. It includes quite a few well-known car brands for which the company produces and installs engines.

Description of engines

Volkswagen engines offer power comparable to reliability. The range of power units is quite extensive. Engines produced by VW are considered the best in Europe and have a good reputation even in America. Thus, the company supplies engines not only to its own brand of cars, but also to such well-known brands as Audi, Skoda, Porshe, Seat, Beantly and even sports cars - Lamborgini and Bugatti.

As you can see, power units from the concern have become quite widespread throughout Europe. Volkswagen produces engines - naturally aspirated, turbocharged, diesel and others. All of them have gained great popularity among car enthusiasts from different countries due to their reliability.

The only drawback of engines is quite complex repairs, which can only be properly carried out at specialized automotive repair stations.

Technical characteristics and model range

VW engines, as mentioned earlier, have high technical characteristics because they are designed and assembled by highly qualified specialists. The range of engines produced by the company is quite large. Thus, there are small power units such as 1.2, 1.4, 1.8 and 2.0 labeled TSi.

These are turbocharged gasoline power units with low fuel consumption and power from 100 to 200 horsepower. Separately, VAG engines were developed for the Skoda subsidiary, which were widely used for other models of the concern. The average service life of Volkswagen engines is 300,000 km.

In addition to gasoline engines, Volkswagen and other brands were equipped with power units with diesel injection. Diesel engines received the TDi marking. They are most widespread for trucks VW Caddy, VW Transporter, VW Crafter and others.

Most of the group's cars, such as Audi and Bentley, are equipped with engines with V6 and V8 configurations. The manufacturer's greatest pride is the engines for world-famous sports cars. Thus, sports versions of Lamborghini, Audi and Bugatti vehicles received engines of the V10, V12, WR12 configuration.

The legendary Bugatti Veyron engine with a volume of 8 liters, also produced by VW. Moreover, it has a distinctive configuration - W16, which is considered the best Volkswagen engine in the entire history of production.

It is assembled by hand and undergoes a series of complex tests before it goes directly into the vehicle. At the same time, the engine resource, according to the manufacturer’s data, is 1 million km.

Engine oil for Volkswagen is produced by a subsidiary of VAG. This lubricant has high technical characteristics. As for the oil in the Bugatti Veyron engine, the concern developed a special high-density lubricant for this model. The average maintenance for this vehicle would be $21,000 per trip to the auto repair shop.

Repair of power units

Repair of Volkswagen engines will vary in price depending on the model. So, the 1.4 TSi power unit will be cheaper to repair than the 1.8 TDi. At the same time, the principles of repair for each power unit will differ not only in price, but in the processes carried out. This depends on the design features of each power unit separately, as well as the cost of spare parts.

As for maintenance, almost all service manuals contain one number and the order of work. Thus, the recommended maintenance should be carried out every 12-15 thousand kilometers. However, these are only the norms for changing oil and filters.

It is worth noting that the amount of oil in the engine of each modification is different and must be studied for each specific engine separately. The name of the motor is written on the power unit itself, on a special plate or in the service book.

A major overhaul of a Volkswagen engine is carried out immediately after the engine's service life has expired or spare parts have worn out. Thus, the wear of engine parts is influenced by how often maintenance is carried out, what spare parts and materials are used, as well as the driver’s driving style.

Typically, the service life and suitable overhaul can be found in a specialized car service center, where they will carry out comprehensive diagnostics and determine the actual condition of the engine.

Well, if a car enthusiast decides to independently repair a Volkswagen engine, then he will definitely need engine repairs and maintenance, which are produced by the manufacturer according to the name of the make, model and year of manufacture of the vehicle. The selection of spare parts for the engine can be done by deciphering the identification number of the engine or body, where all the data is written down.

Change of oil

Changing the oil is an essential operation for all engines. This is due to the fact that the lubricating fluid loses its technical and chemical qualities during operation. So, changing the oil in Volkswagen engines is quite simple if you follow the prescribed steps:

The engine is allowed to cool.
The engine protection is removed.
Place the container and unscrew the drain plug.
After the lubricating fluid has escaped, the plug is tightened and the o-ring is replaced.
Next, unscrew the oil filter element. This is done using a special puller.
A little new oil is poured into the new filter and screwed on.
New lubricant flows through the filler neck. The amount of oil is determined in the correspondingly marked engine repair and maintenance manuals.
The engine is allowed to run for 5-7 minutes, and then the oil level is checked. If necessary, add it to the required amount.

Tuning a Volkswagen engine is carried out by analogy with other engines. So, there are two options for modifying the engine: software (the most common) and mechanical (popularly - boring and installing additional spare parts).

By software modification we mean chip tuning, which in turn is divided into two subgroups: chip soldering and programming of the electronic engine control unit. The first option should only be carried out by professionals at a specialized car service center, since the process is quite specific and requires in-depth knowledge of automotive electricals.

As for the second option, most motorists do it themselves. To do this, you will need a little knowledge or instructions found on the Internet, a special USB-Car cable and a laptop. Accordingly, you need to download the software.

Software chip tuning aimed at improving the required engine characteristics. So, motorists usually choose one of two options: reducing consumption or increasing power. At the same time, balanced chip tuning is used less frequently.

The manufacturer does not recommend chip tuning its engines. But, as practice has shown, this kind of recommendations does not influence the opinions of drivers and therefore the company has specially released several official firmware for its power units, which are called Stage+.

The latest version for engines today is version 5. It allows you to select the necessary parameters at the time of programming the electronic engine control unit.

Conclusion

Volkswagen engines have a fairly wide range of names and markings. Thus, the concern produces power units for such famous car brands as Audi, Skoda, Porshe, Seat, Beantly and even sports cars - Lamborgini and Bugatti.

The company's motors have proven themselves to be very positive. They have a long service life and are reliable. And even if the power unit has been repaired, it will serve the owner for a long time. The Volkswagen engine is the standard of German automotive quality.

An article about the highest quality Volkswagen engines: their interesting features and technical characteristics. At the end of the article there is a video about VW hybrid engines.

The content of the article:

All Volkswagen engines have always been famous for their reliability and long service life, but even among them there are examples that stand out from the rest. Below we will look at the TOP 5 Volkswagen engines, characterized by high quality, performance and durability.

This power unit was produced from 2003 to 2010 and was installed on the Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta, having proven itself to be an excellent power unit.

With a volume of 1.4 liters, the power produced is 140 hp. quite enough to fit it on cars with the maximum configuration, as well as station wagon models. The engine has a supercharger and compressor, which increases its operating efficiency, and is very unpretentiously “powered” by AI-95 gasoline.

Its design consists of a DOHC gas distribution system, four cylinders, each of which has four valves. This scheme makes it possible to use fuel and also remove exhaust gases in the best possible way.

This is one of the first engines of the concern that followed the downsizing program. It replaced the 1.8-liter engines familiar to the Golf and Jet, and its modification BMY seemed quite interesting to experts and owners. First of all, by combining a small volume with sufficient power. In addition, the engine turned out to be extremely economical in terms of fuel consumption, which won even more car enthusiasts over to its side.

Engineers managed to minimize the likelihood of problems with the gas distribution mechanism. A chain drive is used as a drive, which is not maintained during the entire period of operation, requiring complete replacement only during a major overhaul after 250-300 thousand km.

There is an automatic tension adjustment mechanism, which reduces the time spent on servicing the machine, since there is no need to check and adjust the chain tension during operation.

Another important point is the use of a special alloy for cylinder liners, which makes it possible to reduce the level of wear of this element.

A modern filtration system prevents metal chips and other contaminants from affecting the technical condition of engine components, which reduces the rate of wear of engine parts.

All these qualities allowed the BMY motor to take fifth place in our top.

This engine is installed on the following models:

Volkswagen Caddy;
Volkswagen Polo;
Volkswagen Golf;
Volkswagen Jetta.

It can also be found on some Skoda models, on which it is installed under contract.
This is a fairly new power unit, in operation since 2014. However, it has already shown good results in both endurance and reliability, and the manufacturer’s specialists say that this engine does not experience serious breakdowns.

The engine capacity is 1.6 liters, which allows you to get a power of 110 hp. To increase efficiency, multi-point fuel injection is used, which is a modern technology that minimizes losses of the fuel-air mixture. The engine uses only AI-95 gasoline as fuel; other options are not provided.

The four cylinders have 16 valves, which is the standard layout for most modern powertrains.

The design uses a belt as a timing drive, but the use of modern technologies makes it possible to achieve a mileage between replacements of 120 thousand km.

Among the disadvantages, one can note the high consumption of engine oil - even the official manual indicates an indicator of 500 grams per 1000 km. However, a lot depends on the lubricant used, since using cheap and low-quality oil can cause just such a problem.

In general, the engine life reaches 300 thousand km, which is more than good for modern cars. Until a major overhaul, no special problems arise, except for scheduled maintenance.

Years of existence of this engine have shown that it is a good unit, suitable for use in the city and on the highways. Sufficient endurance allows it to be used under heavy loads, for example, for moving the whole family. Such use does not affect the service life.

This is one of the most powerful and voluminous Volkswagen engines, which was installed on the Volkswagen Touareg in 2006-2010 and was distinguished by high power and efficiency. It was thanks to this power unit that Tuareg owners operated their car in the most difficult conditions.

The volume of this engine is 4.9 liters, which gives a maximum power of 351 hp, which is quite enough for reliable and confident movement on the most serious off-road conditions.

The presence of a high-quality load distribution system allows you to effectively transfer torque not only to the gearbox, but also to auxiliary units, including the winch.

The engine uses diesel fuel, consuming 11-12 liters per hundred kilometers. The fuel system uses original common-rail direct injection, which significantly increases the power of the unit with equal fuel consumption.

The engine is V-shaped, has 10 cylinders. Despite the impressive size of the engine, the design allows for optimal torque distribution, with 2 valves per cylinder.

The engine is very reliable and does not give the owner any trouble for 300-350 thousand km without major repairs, not counting scheduled maintenance. With proper use, according to the owners, it can last much longer.

A minor drawback is that it is demanding on fuel quality. When using contaminated diesel fuel, regular filter changes may be required, and problems with the injection pump may also arise. Although in practice such cases are rare.

According to drivers who regularly use a car with this engine, this is an excellent option, ideal for off-road use.

Every driver knows that old Volkswagen engines were distinguished by their longevity, which is why they were nicknamed “millionaires”. We are talking about engines that can operate for more than a million kilometers without major repairs.

The HZ power unit also falls into this category, although in fact its service life is 500-600 thousand km, sometimes more. But even this is twice as much as most modern cars, and if you take some budget models, then 5-6 times. Therefore, this particular motor is considered one of the best and most reliable.

This power unit was installed on the second generation Volkswagen Polo. Officially used from 1981 to 1994, after which it gave way to more modern models. But due to its popularity, it was produced at some factories under contract even in the “zero” years. Therefore, even now you can find relatively new contract HZ engines.

The engine capacity is only one liter, which is very small even by the standards of that time, and the power is only 45 hp. But, since it was used on small city cars, this was quite enough for normal use. An important factor was the endurance of this engine, which worked well at low speeds, as well as when long-term load was required.

The unit was completely unpretentious to fuel, running freely on AI-92 gasoline. Moreover, throughout the long history of this power unit, there are practically no known cases of its failure due to low-quality fuel.

The engine was powered by a carburetor, which consumed 8-9 liters of fuel per 100 km in mixed mode.

The design had 4 cylinders, each with two valves, but despite the rather old gas distribution scheme, this engine was both economical and efficient.

At the moment, you can find working engines that have been in operation for more than 30 years. This is probably the most important sign of quality, making this motor truly legendary.

One of the iconic models is the Volkswagen Transporter, which has become famous as a simple and reliable commercial vehicle. Despite the fact that it has been produced for a long time and has survived several generations, it is still popular. Thanks in no small part to its luxurious engines.

Over the entire period of its existence, the model has “tried” many different engines. But the best of the entire line of power units was recognized as CAAA, which can now be found on the following cars:

Volkswagen Caravelle;
Volkswagen Multivan;
Volkswagen Transporter.

This universal engine was produced from 2009 to 2015 and became so widespread that it is still manufactured under contract at a number of factories.

The main difference from the rest of the Volkswagen line of engines for commercial vehicles is the use of diesel fuel. Thus, it was possible to significantly reduce fuel consumption, which is very important for commercial transportation.

A volume of 2 liters makes it possible to obtain a power of 84 hp, which, with correctly selected torque, is quite enough for the stable functioning of the car. The transporter is a workhorse, and the resulting engine lives up to that title better than anyone.

The design has a turbine, which makes it possible not to lose speed on long climbs with a heavy load. Direct fuel injection makes the engine economical, consuming only 7.5-8 liters/100 km.

This engine is very reliable. Despite active use, no problems with increased wear or premature failure are observed.

Nowadays, Volkswagen has a variety of different configurations in its range of engines – from compact in-line threes to 6-liter V12s. Over all the many years of sales practice, the 4-cylinder options, naturally aspirated or with FSI direct injection, have proven to be the most popular.

Gradually, the company began to introduce turbocharged units, as well as those with a turbo with a compressor - TSI/TFSI, which provide impressive power with a small displacement. The most impressive is the 8-liter W16 engine installed in the Bugatti Veyron.

The only drawback of these powerful, reliable, popular motors is their complex design, which entails equally complex and expensive repairs, which can only be carried out by specialized services.

Volkswagen Polo sedan engine, which we will talk about today, will be produced directly in Russia in 2015, at the new Volkswagen engine plant. True, the timing chain will be replaced with a belt, and the power of the unit will increase by 5 horsepower. In addition to the Polo sedan, a 1.6-liter gasoline engine is now installed in the larger Jetta, Skoda Octavia and Rapid models. The 1.6-liter power unit, the most popular among our customers, is produced in two versions with a capacity of 85 and 105 hp. with 16 valves (factory designation CFNB and CFNA, respectively).

The difference between the 85 horsepower version and the 105 horsepower modification of the Volkswagen Polo engine lies in the design features of the cylinder head and the presence (or absence) of a variable valve timing system. Naturally, due to the presence of a timing system, the 105 strong version is more powerful, dynamic and economical. First, let's talk about the more powerful engine of the Polo sedan.

So, Polo 1.6 16V engine has the factory name CFNA. It is a gasoline, four-stroke, 4-cylinder, in-line, 16-valve, two-camshaft engine. Under the hood it stands transversely. The operating order of the cylinders is: 1-3-4-2, counting from the crankshaft pulley. The engine power supply system of the Volkswagen Polo sedan is phased distributed fuel injection. The engine is mounted on three elastic rubber-metal supports. The right mount is hydraulic; it is attached to a bracket attached to the timing cover, and the left and rear engine mounts are attached to brackets on the gearbox housing.

The cylinder block of the Volkswagen Polo engine is aluminum, the cylinder head is also aluminum, and the engine sump is also made of aluminum alloy. In the 16-valve version, the spark plugs are screwed into the top center of the combustion chamber. Timing chain drive. The chain in the engine makes the Polo sedan 1.6 unit very reliable and durable. Besides, the cylinder head contains hydraulic compensators, which automatically adjust the thermal clearance of the valves. The engine is very sensitive to oil quality. Underfilling of oil and its reduced level can lead to rapid wear of the hydraulic compensators.

The Polo sedan 1.6 engine has a system of continuously variable valve timing of the intake valves, which makes the engine flexible in all operating ranges. The engine has a contactless ignition system with four coils. The entire operation of the power unit is controlled by an electronic control unit (the brains of the motor). An electronic system controls fuel distribution. The dosed working mixture is supplied to the cylinders through the throttle assembly in accordance with the valve timing. Further details engine characteristics Volkswagen Polo 1.6 16V CFNA.

Above are the dynamic characteristics and fuel consumption of a Polo sedan with a manual transmission; with an automatic transmission these figures are worse. So, acceleration to hundreds with automatic transmission takes 12.1 seconds, and fuel consumption increases by half a liter of gasoline.

A simpler motor VW Polo sedan 1.6 without a variable valve timing system on the intake shaft did not appear immediately, but after, in the struggle for customers, the manufacturer had to reduce the price of the car. A simplified version of the Polo sedan engine made the car a little cheaper, but the car's power also dropped. This engine has the factory index CFNB. The chain mechanism remains, but the cylinder head is now in a simplified form without an actuator for stepless timing change.

The 85 horsepower Polo sedan engine is installed only in combination with a manual transmission. A new power unit appeared in the company’s lineup in Russia only in the middle of last year. This is why there is not much information about the detailed structure and design of the engine, but the main characteristics are known.

Whatever Polo sedan engine you choose, it is a reliable, high-quality and durable unit. Of course, subject to careful operation and timely maintenance.

But we remind you that in 2016 the Polo sedan will be equipped with a new Russian-assembled 1.6-liter engine with a timing belt. The power of the units is 90 and 110 hp, that is, one option without a timing system, a more powerful one with a continuously variable valve timing system on the intake shaft.

The German concern Volkswagen Group (VW Group) is one of the most famous European car manufacturers. It also produces Volkswagen engines.

The concern owes its origins to Adolf Hitler, who in the fall of 1933 instructed representatives of Daimler-Benz and Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche GmbH to create a reliable car that costs no more than 1,000 Reichsmarks. Moreover, it had to be produced at a new automobile plant, which would personify the growing power of Germany. Construction of the plant began in 1938, and already in 1939 test samples of the new car were produced.

During its existence, the concern has produced a huge number of a wide variety of vehicles. One of the most successful models is the VW Polo car (from 1975 to the present).

Initially, it was equipped with Volkswagen engines with cylinder displacements from 895 to 1272 cc. cm. Currently, the 5th generation of this model is being produced, and the line of power units has been replenished with more powerful 1.4 and 1.6-liter engines.

In addition, these cars are equipped with Volkswagen diesel engines. They were developed on the basis of the EA827 gasoline engine, various modifications of which were also installed on the Golf, Golf 2, and others.

INTERESTING. The VW Polo sedan became the first car in history designed specifically for Russia. Its production began in 2010 at the Volkswagen plant built in Kaluga.

The car is equipped with a gasoline engine of the EA111 series, the power of which is 105 hp. With. In addition, it is possible to install power units of the EA211 series with a capacity of 90 (CWVA) and 110 hp. With. (CWVB), as well as derated CFNB engines (EA111 series), with a power of 85 hp. With. and 3-cylinder Volkswagen diesel engines with a volume of 1.2 liters (factory designation CFWA) with a Common Rail fuel injection system. The power of the latter (VW 1.2 TDI) is 75 hp. With.

Of greatest interest is the base engine of the Volkswagen Polo (factory designation CFNA), which since 2015 has been produced at the Kaluga Gasoline Engine Plant (part of Volkswagen Group Rus).

Description

The base engine of the Polo sedan (factory designation CFNA) is a conventional in-line 4-cylinder 16-valve engine with an overhead twin-shaft gas distribution mechanism (timing) DOHC 16V.

The cast cylinder block is made of aluminum alloy, with the cylinders bored directly into its body.

The crankshaft is made of high-strength cast iron. At the front there is a sprocket for the timing drive and oil pump. The auxiliary mechanism drive pulley is also located there.

The cylinder block is closed with an aluminum 16-valve head (cylinder head) with a timing belt, which includes two camshafts and hydraulic valve compensators.
The timing belt is driven by a maintenance-free steel chain, the resource of which covers the entire service life of the motor. There is no variable valve timing system on the intake shaft.
Structurally, the less powerful CFNB power unit is completely identical to the CFNA and differs from the latter only in the ECU firmware.

Distinctive features of CFN type motors:

The intake manifold is made of polymer fireproof material.
The air filter is installed on the cylinder head without any gaskets.
The valve timing is continuously variable on the intake valves.
Availability of forced ventilation of the oil pan.
The oil pump is equipped with an adjustable pressure sensor.

Service

Timely maintenance of the Volkswagen Polo sedan engine significantly extends its service life and allows it to be increased to 500 thousand kilometers.

Basically it comes down to regular computer diagnostics and replacement (after every 15 thousand km of travel):

motor oil;
oil filter;
oil pan plugs.

In addition, every 30,000 km it is recommended:

replace the air filter;
Pay attention to the spark plugs and replace them if necessary.

Malfunctions

With proper and regular maintenance, the service life of the Polo sedan engine is practically unlimited and can provide a mileage of about 400...500 thousand km. However, it is not free from common faults, which are most often eliminated by replacing faulty parts and components.

FAULTS	CAUSES
Throttle failure	The electrical wire of the throttle sensor is frayed.
Malfunctions associated with failure of the fuel injection system.	Poor quality fuel.
Characteristic knocking in the engine (frequent “clunking” in the cylinder head area).	The hydraulic valve compensators have failed due to: increased detonation in engine cylinders; lubrication system malfunctions; low-quality motor oil.
The forced crankcase ventilation system does not work.	The PCV valve has failed.

The CFNA power unit also has a number of design flaws that can ruin the mood of the car owner:

Tuning

The easiest way to increase the power of a CFNA engine to 130 hp. With.:

Purchase and install a new 4-2-1 catless exhaust manifold.
Organize a cold intake by removing the air filter to the maximum distance from the engine; replace the corrugated pipe from the air filter with a smooth one; when laying a smooth air path, remove it as much as possible from hot engine parts; ensure the shortest distance from the air filter to the intake manifold; use heat-resistant materials.
Replace the standard air filter with a zero-resistance filter.
Reflash and configure the ECU.

Achieving a more significant increase in the power of the CFNA engine is only possible by investing large amounts of money, which is not economically profitable - the cost of the cylinder head is comparable to the cost of the engine and amounts to more than $3,000. It’s easier to buy another Volkswagen with a 1.4 TSI engine (Golf, Golf 2, Audi, Skoda, etc.), with a power of 120 to 180 hp. With.

Volkswagen (VW) is a very popular German manufacturer of cars in the mid-price segment, part of the Volkswagen AG concern, the world's second largest auto giant after Toyota. This association, in addition to the main company, includes Seat, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti and several other well-known brands. The products of these companies are somewhat unified among themselves, so some models use common platforms, components, assemblies; the same Volkswagen engine can easily be found on related cars.
Volkswagen engines offer a wide range of installations of various configurations, starting with compact in-line threes. Taking into account the specifics of these cars, the most popular engines have become 4-cylinder engines, produced in both simple atmospheric versions and with FSI direct injection. Over time, turbocharged engines, as well as turbocharged ones with a compressor, appeared; such Volkswagen engines are known as TSI/TFSI. Small engines 1.2 TSI, 1.4 TSI, 1.8 TSI and 2.0 TSI, with a modest displacement, produce quite impressive power and VW cars drive quite confidently with them.
For models with larger dimensions, VAG has developed engines with 5 and 6 cylinders, and the configuration of the latter can be in-line, V6 and VR6. Top modifications of Volkswagen, Audi, Bentley are equipped with Volkswagen V8 engines, both turbocharged and naturally aspirated. For sports cars from Lamborghini, Audi, Bentley and other manufacturers, V10, V12, WR12 were produced. The pinnacle, the best Volkswagen engine is the W16, with a displacement of 8 liters, installed on the Bugatti Veyron.
In addition to a whole range of various Volkswagen gasoline engines, there is approximately the same huge range of diesel engines. The range is impressive: from ultra-small two-cylinder, to 5 liter V10 and 6 liter V12, with a torque of 1000 Nm.
It is very difficult for an uninitiated person to understand all this splendor, so Wikimotors will tell you everything about old and new Volkswagen engines: their codes, brands, types, types, which engine is located where, the plant where this engine is produced, etc.
Now you don’t need to look for reviews on Volkswagen engines, just click on the brand of your VW and find out the following: technical characteristics, problems, malfunctions (knocking, stalling, troits, smoking, etc.) and repair of Volkswagen engines, service life, weight, tuning, chip tuning and much more.
