the tdi engines available for the golf eliminate any compromises ­ you can have performance as well as exceptional economy such efficiency is due to its direct injection `pumpe düse technology that allows diesel to be injected into the combustion chamber in exact amounts at a unique pressure of 2,050 bar this not only means impressive performance and low fuel consumption but it also meets the tough euro 4 exhaust emission legislation for example the 1.9 litre tdi develops 105 ps and 250 nm of torque but most impressive is making light of heavy traffic new tsi technology provides two exciting additions to the range ­ award winning engines that combine power and economy these `twincharger engines feature a mechanically-driven supercharger and an exhaust-driven turbocharger which in tandem effectively eliminate turbo lag the belt-driven supercharger operates at low speeds while the turbocharger activates as the engine speed increases this results in excellent driveability and performance throughout the range with no turbo lag continuous power and high maximum torque incorporated into the tsi engines is fsi technology whereby fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber under high pressure the benefit of this method ­ is that it only burns the exact amount of fuel required helping to reduce fuel consumption and boost performance the first variant of the new tsi engine produces 140 ps at 5,600 rpm offering impressive performance and dynamic power whilst still returning an economical 39.2 mpg on the combined cycle and a co2 emission of just 169 g/km secondly a more powerful version is also available producing 170 ps at 6,000 rpm and torque comparable to that of a typical naturally-aspirated 2.3 litre engine this helps it sprint from 0-62 mph in just 7.9 seconds while still offering significantly lower fuel consumption at 38.2 mpg on the combined cycle either with a six speed manual gearbox or with volkswagen s revolutionary six speed automatic dsg gearbox this innovative technology was recognised by the international engine of the year awards where the 170 ps tsi engine was given the prestigious honour of being named `best new engine of 2006 the golf is also available with five further petrol engines the first is the 1.4 litre engine which develops 80 ps making it ideal for town traffic or country roads there s also a more powerful 1.6 litre fsi engine that comes with the option of a six speed automatic as well as six speed manual gearbox this engine not only returns a fuel consumption figure of 40.4 mpg over the combined cycle it also provides healthy performance by generating 115 ps the truly exhilarating 2.0 litre turbocharged t-fsi develops 200 ps and when coupled with the dsg automatic gearbox can accelerate the golf gti from standstill to 62 mph in just 6.9 seconds in addition there is now a 230 ps version of this award winning engine available exclusive to the gti edition 30 this uprated engine outputs an additional 30 ps in recognition of 30 years of golf gti production making it the most powerful gti engine ever the most powerful engine in the range is the phenomenal 3.2 litre v6 250 ps engine which powers the golf r32 the v6 unit produces 320 nm of torque at just 2,800 rpm and is capable of a top speed of 155 mph where the law permits its miserly use of fuel returning 53.3 mpg over the combined fuel cycle alternatively you could choose the 2.0 litre sdi diesel which also benefits from `pumpe düse technology and produces 75 ps it means the chore of filling up your car becomes something you have to endure less and less if you wish for economy but with added performance the 2.0 litre tdi linked to either a six speed manual gearbox or the dsg automatic is sure to satisfy it generates 140 ps and is one of the strongest in its class when it comes to torque ­ reaching 320 nm at just 1,750 rpm this engine when coupled with the six speed manual gearbox on sport models only is also available with 4motion the sophisticated four wheel drive system which aids traction and stability the latest addition to the diesel range is the 2.0 litre tdi engine which develops 170 ps and an impressive 350 nm of torque at 2,000 rpm and is available with a six speed manual or six speed automatic dsg gearbox the dsg gearbox offers a genuine alternative to a manual gearbox because it is able to change gear faster than a manual gearbox and more smoothly than a conventional automatic please see the individual specifications in this section for fuel consumption and co 2 emissions figures chassis safety models colours upholstery optional equipment engines technology service 1.4 ltr 80 ps 1.6 ltr fsi 115 ps 1.4 ltr tsi 140 ps 1.4 ltr tsi 170 ps 2.0 ltr t-fsi 200 ps 2.0 ltr t-fsi 230 ps 3.2 ltr v6 250 ps 2.0 ltr sdi 75 ps 1.9 ltr tdi 105 ps 2.0 ltr tdi 140 ps 2.0 ltr tdi dpf 170 ps print exit 17
