TDI

The TDI badge identifies all our diesel-powered models featuring diesel direct injection and a turbocharger. Characteristic features of the TDI engines are fuel economy, low emissions, high pulling power (torque) and outstanding power efficiency. After being drawn through the turbocharger the air is then cooled by passing it through an air to air intercooler (cool air takes up less space than hot air), before entering the combustion chamber where diesel is injected directly into the cylinders at very high pressure through a nozzle. Effective engine encapsulation keeps noise to a minimum, while hydraulic engine mounts ensure smooth, low-vibration running.
