What is Volkswagen Passat TDI?

Volkswagen Passat TDI tv commercials

The Volkswagen Passat TDI, also known as the Passat Turbocharged Direct Injection, is a diesel-powered variant of the Volkswagen Passat lineup. It was produced by the German automaker Volkswagen AG from 2012 to 2015. The Passat TDI was designed to be fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly, producing fewer emissions compared to traditional gasoline engines.

One of the most notable things about the Passat TDI was its impressive fuel economy. The vehicle was capable of achieving up to 68 miles per gallon on the highway, making it one of the most efficient diesel vehicles on the market during its time. Additionally, the Passat TDI was known for its smooth and comfortable ride, making it a popular choice for long-distance drives.

However, the Passat TDI was also the center of controversy due to the emissions scandal that came to light in 2015. Volkswagen was found to have installed software in their diesel engines that enabled it to cheat emissions tests. The scandal led to recalls of millions of affected vehicles and damages settlements with customers.

Despite the controversy, the Passat TDI remains a popular choice for those looking for a fuel-efficient and comfortable vehicle. Used models are widely available, and they can still offer a great driving experience for those who prioritize fuel efficiency and comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions about volkswagen passat tdi

Turbocharged Direct Injection TDI meaning TDI stands for Turbocharged Direct Injection. Direct injection is when fuel is sprayed directly into a car's cylinder rather than delivered through an intake manifold. Direct injection diesel engines tend to be more efficient and produce less soot than older types of engines.

Our drivers have complimented the fuel-sipping diesel, the quick-shifting transmission, the amenable ride, and, yes, the large trunk. Our Passat has been perfectly reliable to date. So far, the only trip to the dealer has been for the scheduled 10,000-mile maintenance.

TDI SEL Premium Diesel Sedan.

The average mileage for a Volkswagen Passat is around 100,000 miles. However, many Passats are known to last well beyond this point and can often reach 200,000 miles or more with proper maintenance.

Diesel fuel simply packs more energy in every gallon than gas fuel, which makes it more economical overall. Diesel engines are still more efficient than gas engines, but less so for those who are mostly engaged in city driving.

TDI is used on all current Volkswagen Group diesel engines, so you'll see those three letters if you're interested in new or used diesel Audi, Volkswagen, SEAT, Skoda, Porsche or Bentley models. You might think the 'D' in TDI stands for 'diesel', but in fact the acronym is short for 'Turbocharged Direct Injection'.

How long do Volkswagen TDI engines last? A well-maintained TDI engine can actually last up to 400,000 to 500,000 miles.

Here in America, Volkswagen stopped selling diesel after the 2015 and 2016 model years and instead focuses on electrification. Hundreds of thousands of recalled diesel Volkswagens ended up in parking lots all over America. They awaited their fixes so they could be reconditioned and then resold.

562,000 miles The 1986 Jetta Turbo Diesel, found in Blue Rock, Ohio, has over 562,000 miles on its odometer -- which hass been verified by a Columbus, Ohio Volkswagen dealer.

A well-maintained TDI engine can actually last up to 400,000 to 500,000 miles.

Diesel engine longevity is primarily due to two factors. The engines are built more durably to handle the compression force of the ignition cycle, and the fuel itself is an oil that gently lubricates the engine as it runs.

On an engine with direct diesel injection, the fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber at a pressure which sometimes exceeds 2,000 bar. TDI engines are extremely efficient and therefore offer maximum fuel economy.

Yet, company higher-ups had unrealistic ambitions. Volkswagen engineers informed management that they could not make diesel models meet new federal emissions standards - which required a 94 percent reduction in nitrous oxide tailpipe emissions - within the allotted development time and budget.

Volkswagen, however, decided to pull the plug on diesel engines in India as we transitioned into the stringent BS6 emission norms last April. The cost of after-treatment systems on diesels to clear the BS6 norms would have invariably driven up the prices, making little sense in small cars.

Volkswagen engineers informed management that they could not make diesel models meet new federal emissions standards - which required a 94 percent reduction in nitrous oxide tailpipe emissions - within the allotted development time and budget. And that's when the software cheat was born.

Volkswagen 1.9L ALH TDI Diesel While Volkswagen has produced many very good diesel engines over the years, the “ALH” engine used between 1998 and 2006 is regarded as one of the best. These engines were only used in cars, with 1.9 litres litres of displacement over 4 cylinders; direct injected and turbocharged.
