TSI Technology
TSI is now the engine designation given to all of Volkswagen’s twin-charged or single-charger
petrol engines with direct petrol injection. TSI does not refer to a ‘Twincharger’ engine only.
The basic features common to all TSI engines are the downsizing concept (smaller engine
capacities), direct injection and turbo charging. This innovative engineering has brought forth
high-tech engines with excellent torque and power output combined with low fuel consumptionand emissions.

• Torque 280Nm
• Acceleration 0-100km/h 8.2 seconds (manual)
9.2 seconds (automatic)
• Fuel consumption 9.1 L/100km* (manual)
10.1 L/100km* (automatic)
• Transmissions 6 speed manual
Optional 6 speed automatic with Tiptronic
4MOTION all wheel drive

Tiguan 147TSI (TFSI)
• Engine type 2.0 litre direct petrol injection, turbo charged petrol
• Power 147kW

so 125TFSI and 147TFSI go from 0-100 in the same time and have the same torque?? Why bother with a more powerful engine then??

Interesting that the TDI is ~$2k more expensive that the 2.0 TSI - I would have been expecting price parity with this level of tech. I wonder if VW is gouging on diesel options?

Doesn't matter whether they are or not.....it has always been this way. Diesel engines just 'cost' more......why? who knows?

And with the total loss of price parity between petrol and diesel these days......then a small diesel just doesn't make economic sense over a similar sized petrol.

TDI is $2,000 more expensive to buy
TDI is typically more expensive to service
TDI has a fuel saving of about $1 per 100ks......so you have to drive 2,000,000 km just to get your money back on the investment in diesel. Less if the 2.0 TSI needs premium....but not that much less!!

Too rich for me.......

....I'd be looking at the petrol model.

...and I'm a diesel fan!!

Uh ... OK..

Never understood the mindset of "yargh it'll take you foo years to recoup the increased costs" as an argument against diesel. Taking that to it's logical conclusion, you wouldn't buy a car at all, you'd just get around on your treadly. Or buy a ten year old Corolla and run it on LPG.

Mate, how did you calculate "your money back on investment"?
I disagree with $1.00/100km difference but anyway.

$1 .... 100km
$10 .....1,000km
$100 ....10,000km
$1000 ...100,000km

So, if you bought Passat with diesel engine rather than petrol engine the difference will be something like $3.00-$4.00 every 100km.
Than you just swap "1" for "3" in calculation above and your $2000 investment in diesel will come back to you very soon.

And with the fuel prices’ going up the diesel engine makes more sense than petrol.

As Sharkie said its a Tiptronic ;) its built by Aisin if your interested.

Ben, is the Aisin similar to the gearbox used in Golf MKV2.0 FSI?
I didn't mind that, very smooth. Although I prefer the manual feel of the DSG...

I was Officialling up at the Lithgow Rally this weekend. I was put on a Spectator Point with a VW staffer... and he brought along a Pre-Release Press car Tiguan for the drive.... He gave us a royal tour and I give the car an almighty TWO THUMBS UP!!!

Like anything, its not perfect as it has some strange design inclusions:
-the Panoramic roof has an automated curtain thats looks like sagging rooflining cloth, this might be sorted by main delivery.
-it had cream leather option and the lower dash is also cream..just didnt like it.

Things I loved.....
- it had the RNS510 with touch screen (first time i have seen this in action).
- good ride position
- reasonably sized boot and rear legroom
- felt spacious all round

Didnt get to go on a test drive...but stay tuned as the Press drive is next weekend, and I was told that they will be going off road(ish)

Anyone know why there is no particulate filter in the 103TDI in the Golf whereas there is in the 125TDI in the GT Sport?

According to the technical data from the OP, the 103TDI in the Tiguan has a particulate filter.

What gives (I wonder)?

The Golf engine is the old Pumpe Duse diesel while the Tiguan has common rail :)

Cool shots Goodfella thanks for posting :D

Ben
are there other changes/efficiencies/advantages to the common rail (as power and torque seems identical to pumpe duse)?
common rail easier to chip/upgrade, or cheaper to make?

Advantages over Pump Duse Technology

-Quieter running due to reduced compression ratio and fuel injection control.

-Improved performance due to above.

-Fewer moving parts in cylinder head.

-Separate catalyst and piezo injectors reduce diesel particulate filter regeneration time.

I got a quote for Tiguan and Golf TSI, and noticed that the Tiguan does not attract a "Fleet discount" (for novated lease).

When asked, the salesman replied "...Unfortunately there is no fleet discount for the Tiguan YET!! (Due to the lack of stock available at present). This may change by the time the petrol models land but no guarantees., fingers crossed."

has anyone had any similar experience? :(

Standard 6 speed Tiptronic (automatic) only. No DSG in any Tiguan anywhere in the world at this stage.

FWD will be available in 1.4TSI only from early 2009 in the UK and South Africa. No idea if it is coming to Australia.

147TSI available in manual in the UK and South Africa in RHD, so why not here ....... :sad:

There is an R line Tiguan coming to world markets from 2009 as well..... no idea on engine specs yet though..

IS really bizzare about the transmission options, the UK dont even get auto as an option..Manual only!!!!! :o

Do you think they are trying to keep the price down to compete with the likes of Rav 4, CRV, CX-7 etc?

GT 12 WA

26-05-2008, 11:06 PM

Was told by the dealer that the reason for the Tiptronic is because the DSG is not suitable for off roading and steep descents and inclines. Not that many off them will ever see more than a gravel driveway.....
Didnt say why there wouldnt be a manual with the 2.0T but I figure its just limited demand.

Its a joint intitiative by VW. If you cant drive a manual, buy something else :driver:

Is probably cheaper and definately better for offroading.

In light of the GTI engine having a few differences now, 9.5 CR chain driven etc etc.

I noticed that 147 Tiguan engines from other markets running this new engine, yet on the VW.AU website it clearly shows on the specs that it is the previous version of the 200hp unit.

:confused: What gives? Could it be from a point of view that Australia has 98RON readily available.

Interesting - Auto5000 GmBH - I was not aware of it yet have been to Wolfsburg recently. The video at their website mentions it is 100% owned by Volkswagen AG and was expressly setup to achieve 5000 jobs earning 5000 Euros per month for each employee.

Ref the Diesel - here are some real world #s

Vehicle Full when delivered - 60km on clock
Vehicle refueled with 800km on clock and fuel light just on. 56 litres added - about $100 at $1.80 - 8 litres remaining. Avg consumption by computer was 6.9l/100 on this new engine
Refueled and did first highway run. 140km used on this full tank so far, trip computer showing 850km to go.

Max range displayed today was 1010km to go after about 10km urban and 40km of freeway driving since filling up.

Impressive!
