The second generation of the 3.0l V6 TDI engine
V6 TDI engines are already something of a tradition at Audi. The State of the art diesel technology, such as the Piezo Inline
success story began in 1997 with the introduction of the world s Common Rail System with rail pressures of up to 2000 bar,
fi rst four valve 2.5l V6 TDI engine with a distributor injection systematic thermal management, extensive friction reducing
pump. In late 2003 it was followed by the fi rst V6 TDI with improvements and the start stop system, ensures that the new
common rail injection, a 3.0l engine with a chain driven timing engine achieves low emissions and better fuel economy in combi
gear. A power reduced 2.7l version derived from this model was nation with new eight speed automatic gearboxes.
rolled out in 2004.
Both engines have since undergone multiple stages of evolution
and have been successfully introduced in various models, not only
at Audi but also within the VW Group.
