45hp 1.05

I think the carb version had slightly less torque, higher up, and achieved it's peak power at higher rpm (5600 vs 5200) than the later SPi model, but I haven't time/resource to check properly for now so i'm leaving it. It's only a tiny thing after all.

Also while I'm being pedantic, would the EA111 diesels really have had a 'carburettor, then L-jetronic/monomotronic injection' fuel system? Diesels don't entirely work that way as far as I was aware. For super pedant bonus, the compressor in the G40 should be a '40mm G-lader supercharger' (the G-lader bit possibly being a trademark/trade name, so not needing an english translation).

You are right in both cases. I´ve forgotten to change the thinks. But´I don´t really know, what an Verteilerpumpe is named in english. The carburretor version of the 1.05 is different to the monomo´s. In the latest version is named 33kW/ 5600 69Nm/3200 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.64.228.100 (talk) 09:28, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh... yes, sounds likely. As for Verteilerpumpe... puzzling. Injector-pump, as in some prototype version of the Pumpe-Duse? I'm not well up enough on diesel engines to give any serious suggestions, but i'm pretty sure even the oldest hot-bulb types used injectors (even if they were primitive) as a means of getting the fuel in.

Incidentally as another note, we seem to be missing the "1.4" (1398cc? 1408?) diesel that my old Polo manual lists as being available. Unfortunately that's now DEEP in a cupboard somewhere and I've lost the ability to rattle the figures off the top of my head - but the capacity was somewhere between 1350 and 1450cc, power output 48PS at 4000 (4500?) rpm, and ??? maximum torque (it wasn't actually very impressive vs the 1.3 petrol!) somewhere around 2000-2500rpm. Sounds like a fairly unpleasant-to-drive engine even compared to the 1043cc petrol, but did give pretty impressive economy, something like 70mpg on the combined cycle... for a car made in 1991 and shaped like a broken brick.

Finally I'm pretty sure the 1.05, 1.1 and 1.3 petrols ended up in some Golf variants in the early 80s as well as the Polos, until it was realised they were just too underpowered? It was an age of ludicrously weak powerplants in surprisingly large cars after all (though we're edging back that way with 40-ish kW motors in Polos that have taken on the size and weight of previous generations of Golf!)

PS - any mileage in including the prototype Oko Polo 848cc 2-cylinder turbodiesel (superdiesel??) motor? 40PS at 4000rpm is about all the spec I remember, that and a supposed <3L/100km consumption. In 1983. 193.63.174.10 (talk) 11:17, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

'VerteilerPumpe' (often abbreviated to VP) is simply a rotary diesel injector pump, sometimes called a 'distributor pump', becuase it resembles the configuration of an ignition distributor. These VP diesels were used before VAG introdued the 'Pumpe Düse' (PD) engines with Unit Injector technology. VP injection was a completely different system, and could not be described as a 'prototype' for the PD system. HTH. 78.32.143.113 (talk) 10:31, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Errors/omissions in V8 section

Omission of A8 engines from 2000-2002. I believe these were AUX engine code.Wulfgang (talk) 16:42, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Error: the BFM engine definitely does not have roller chain for timing. Pics all of the internet show a belt, and a timing belt replacement kit is available at multiple stores.Wulfgang (talk) 16:42, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

KW

I´m german, so my english isn´t very good, but you may separate the "KW"-Engine from the others. It´s from an old developement-line and has absolutely nothing in common with the RR to AAN-Generation. thanks--89.204.153.233 (talk) 04:32, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1.9 R5 74-85kW

The carburetter was not a Keihin (as the article states) but a Pierburg 2B5, surely?

Missing engine - 1471cc I4

There was an I4 engine of 1471 cc (76.5 x 80 bore and stroke) used on, for example, the mid-seventies Audi 80. I don't see it in the list.

G60 is in wrong section.

The G60 doesn't belong in the EA111 section, it is a part of the EA827/EA113 family. One major difference between the series is that the EA111 is cross-flow, while the 8-valve engines belonging to the EA827/EA113-series are counter-flow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.1.109.137 (talk) 18:14, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

1781cc Mk1 Golf GTI engine

There does not seem to be any information about the 1.8 litre DX engine code, used in Sciroccos and Golf GTIs of in around 1982/83. Can someone please upload the relevant data? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.228.181.34 (talk) 16:24, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bxx and Cxx I5 engine

I have added this engine to the discontinued list; I have not seen this engine as an option anywhere it has been previously used on new models, so it has been moved to this article instead. If you have any more concerns, discuss them here.

The links oh god the links.

This article is way way in violation of WP:OVERLINKING it also violates WP:REPEATLINK and WP:COMMONWORDS. I removed over 4000 links from List of Volkswagen Group petrol engines and someone else can do this one.
