Volkswagen: New TSI to replace existing 1.6-litre FSI unit

Volkswagen is also introducing a new turbocharged 1.4-litre engine to replace the existing 1.6-litre FSI engine. Based on the 1.4-litre TSI engine the new unit is not fitted with a supercharger and instead uses a sophisticated turbocharger. The result is an output of 122 PS linked to a choice of manual or DSG gearboxes.

The new engine is planned to be fitted to the Golf, Golf Plus, Golf Estate, Jetta and Passat models, replacing the current 1.6-litre FSI engine when production commences later this year.
