speedkar99 | The Simplest Modern Engine - From Volkswagen? @speedkar99 | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 6 hours ago
Who said that German brands have complicated designs that are difficult to service and complex in design? In this video we teardown a Volkswagen 2.0L 4 cylinder engine. This engine was the base model engine used in the 2010-2015 A6 VW Jetta. It does NOT have any variable valve timing, uses a timing belt instead of chain, has a manually adjustable eccentric belt tensioner instead of a hydraulically controlled one, has only two valves per cylinder instead of 4, has a cam-on-bucket design instead of using roller/rocker arms, still uses an ancient iron block instead of aluminum, and does NOT have any EGR, secondary air injection, direct injection, turbo chargers or any power enhancing / pollution reduction technology like any modern engines of the era.
The caveat is that the engine only produces 115HP from a 2.0L displacement! Surely its a testament that German car brands can make a simple engine design if they put cost cutting at the forefront.
