SSP 196 – 1.4L 16V 55kW Engine
Whether it’s better fuel economy, higher engine output, or lower exhaust emissions, the demands on engines are constantly increasing.
This creates new challenges for our engineers, resulting in a continuously expanding Volkswagen engine range.
Example – Weight Saving: During development, the weight of the new 1.4-L 16V 55 kW engine was reduced by about 10 kg through design modifications.
This Self-Study Programme explains the technical innovations in our engine range using the 1.4-L 16V 55 kW engine as an example.
Apart from minor differences in engine mechanics, the 1.6-L 16V 88 kW engine for the Polo GTI also incorporates these new features.
These differences arise from the specific technical requirements of each engine and are described in detail.
