  • When you're in the market for a new car or simply looking to understand the marvels of automotive engineering, the choice between TSI and TDI engines is a significant one.
    We were asked about the engine options in the Skoda VRS but though the TDi vs TSi debate would be interesting to cover so here are my thoughts.
    But what exactly sets these two powerhouses apart? This video dives deep into the heart of modern engines, exploring the specifications, fuel costs, and the unique benefits that each type offers.
    Whether you're a car enthusiast, a potential buyer, or just curious about car technology, we've got all the details you need.
    Understanding TSI and TDI Engines
    The journey into the world of engines begins with a look at the technical specifications that define the TSI and TDI. TSI engines, known for their direct injection combined with turbocharging, offer an impressive balance of power and fuel efficiency.
    But how does this compare to the TDI, which has long been celebrated for its diesel technology, offering unmatched fuel economy and torque? We'll compare these engines head-to-head, examining what each brings to the table.
    Fuel Costs Explored
    One of the most critical factors for many drivers is the cost of fuel. How do the 2.0 TSI and 2.0 TDI engines stack up in terms of fuel consumption and overall costs?
    We break down the numbers, giving you a clear picture of what you can expect to spend annually on fuel with each engine type.
    Moreover, we delve into scenarios of driving 20,000 miles, offering insights into how fuel costs evolve with mileage. This section aims to answer a crucial question: which engine is more economical in the long run?
    The Impact of Mileage
    Driving habits play a significant role in choosing the right engine. But what happens to fuel costs when you adjust your annual mileage?
    This video explores the dynamics of fuel expenditure as we look at both increasing and decreasing mileage to 20,000 or 8,000 miles.
    Understanding these nuances can help you make a more informed decision tailored to your driving patterns.
    Enhancing Engine Power
    For those looking to get more out of their engine, tuning modifications can offer significant improvements in performance.
    We discuss how tuning can impact both TSI and TDI engines, focusing on the potential power bumps and how they can transform your driving experience.
    Whether you're looking to enhance acceleration, torque, or overall efficiency, tuning might be the answer you're looking for.
    Comparing the Benefits
    Each engine type comes with its set of advantages. The TDI engine, for instance, is known for its longevity and robust performance, particularly in terms of torque and fuel economy.
    On the other hand, the TSI engine offers a more dynamic driving experience with its turbocharged power and smoother acceleration.
    We take a closer look at these benefits, helping you weigh the pros and cons based on your preferences and needs.
    Stay tuned as we delve into the intricate details of these engine technologies, offering insights and answers to some of the most common questions posed by car buyers and enthusiasts alike.

    I have a TDI, but I think I would go TSI for my next car. I mainly do short trips and the DPF regen gets annoying. TSI have become just as fuel efficient as TDI.

    The problem is that, 2.0 tsi Skoda Octavia is much more expensive than diesel models where I live, in Central Europe. Very few people choose diesel engines these days, and lots of former company cars are available, so they are cheaper. 2.0 tsi models have port injection, which is very good, but not sure about piston rings are ok...Maybe 190 PS later models will not consume oil

    My 2016 A4 TDI 190bhp was making up to 68mpg then I went for stage 1 tunning which clearly gave more power but brought the mpg down to upto 60mpg.

    For my first car, I can't decide whether to buy a diesel or petrol car. I would probably drive both 50/50 in city and on highway. I want to buy 2015-2016 VW Passat (B8). Any suggestions?

    I own a TDI 190 hp with a remap to 225 hp. I think I do around 8k miles per year although 95% is travelling rather fast on highways. I don't really use the "economy" of a diesel to be honest because a Skoda Kodiaq is not really aerodynamic so fuel consumption could be around 30 mpg when going at 100 mph. Sometimes I think I might enjoy more the TSI 245 with a remap although the fuel consumption would be even worse.

      Hey, nice to hear. I own the same with 190 hp TDI. Was the remap worth it and how much torque you drive? Can you feel the difference?

  • @agrubera75
    @agrubera75 3 месяца назад +1

    The issue is you talk about horsepower only but not about low end torque which mostly comes with those diesel engines because of the 16:1 compression ratio versus the 10:1 of the petrol engines.
    If you look at the big picture there is a reason why there are no petrol fueled lorries out there only diesel, because they are more economic in hauling heavy goods.
    Even as you mentioned in the video there is still a 20% difference in fuel economy between the petrol vs diesel 2.0 engines.
    Perhaps the TFSI is more fun but then will cost you more to run.
    I love the 2.0 TDI and even with a stage 1 remap of 170hp is still quicker than 50% of the cars on the road and still averages out 50mpg for my driving style.
    Very nice informative video btw.

      Hi - is your stage 1 remap on a 150hp 110kw 2.0tdi - if so how did it affect the clutch? Mine is a manual clutch thinking about a remap but not sure - as can wear out clutch and reduce fuel economy -

    Hello guys. I want to buy a golf 6 plus 2.0 TDI CR 103 KW/140 HP. I want to know which engine code has the lowest problems. I just know that i should escape the first 3 years of CR engines, so i should go 2012-2014 year model. Or can you suggest some 2.0 tdi engine code even if it is not in golf 6 plus. It can be tuaran, passat, jeta....or maybe some skoda model. Thank you a lot.

    I’m looking to buy a 1.5 tfsi petrol audi a3 2017/2018 facelift model, i do about 7000 miles a year which is majority shorter journeys with the odd longer journey .. is this a really bad engine, would i be better buying the 2.0

    • @torquecars
      @torquecars  2 месяца назад +1

      I think the 1.5 would suit you perfectly, they cope well with shorter journeys and give good fuel economy, in most areas the road tax you pay and fuel taxes are lower on those than on the 2.0. Check for service history though, any engine when neglected will cause problems. I have the slightly older version of this engine, the 1.4 tfsi and here is a video I did about it. ruclips.net/video/2fzNDt2Z-X4/видео.html

    I will never buy TSI engine again. I have had 1.8 TSI, and it was an oil burner. Terrible experience - never again. TDI is ok.

      I'd be curious to know why you prefer one over the other. Personally I'd go TSi as I only do short journeys and local miles. But if I had a long commute everyday then I'd go diesel without hesitation.
