5 Volkswagen Sirocco Engines You Can Buy

Volkswagen Sirocco engines are quieter, smoother and hefty performers

Volkswagen Sirocco has a bunch of turbocharged engines in the power line-up where it has two diesel engines and three petrol engines. However, the 2.0 TDi is the latest common-rail fuel injection system that gives the smoothest and quieter performance than the previous models.

Sirocco Engines Power Variants

There are two power variants of 140bhp and the 170bhp and a bulk pulling power more than your expectation. A 140bhp engine offers a great pulling power where it sprints from 0 to 62 miles per hour in just 9.3 seconds with an impressive fuel economy of 55mpg.

Sirocco 2.0-litre engine

Next power level engine is 170bhp and it has the same sprint from 0 to 62 mph in only eight seconds to facilitate the overtaking process. The Golf GTi 2.0-litre engines were borrowed in 2009 and these engines were capable of producing excellent 211bhp with even more impressive figures from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 6.9 seconds. The acclaimed fuel economy of these engines was 38 miles per gallon.

Sirocco Petrol engines

The Volkswagen Sirocco models come with a 158bhp, 1.4-litre petrol engine have both turbocharger and supercharger options to give the Sirocco a real spice. The 197bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine is quick enough.

Sirocco diesel engine

The 2.0-litre diesel engines aren’t as smooth but they can't be faulted for outright pace. The R is super-quick. Adaptive Chassis Control comes as standard on GT versions and upwards. This system allows the driver to choose the stiffness of the suspension, the weighting of the steering and the speed of the throttle responses.

High-Speed Stability

Flat-out blasts only serve to confirm the Sirocco’s excellent high-speed stability and negligible wind noise. The six-speed manual transmission has a positive, accurate action and the DSG semi-auto is smooth, too. The petrol engines are silky-smooth and the diesel engines are bit rougher and noisier. The Scirocco is reasonably priced, and it has good residual value.

Is Volkswagen Going to Fix Diesel?

Everyone is Concerned about How VW is going To Fix the Mess it has Created with its Dieselgate Scandal

Volkswagen

What VW thinks?

When this scandal made public in the beginning and then how it expanded to well over 11 million vehicles across the globe. The initial estimates to fix this mess was around €40 billion but now keeping things into consideration, the Volkswagen diesel engines that were affected and where the vehicles are located, it has been brought down to just $7 billion to cover all repair costs. The fix is relatively simpler and inexpensive in Europe as compared to the rest of the world.

CEO of Volkswagen

What will they do to fix it?

During a presentation, the representative from the Volkswagen explained how they plan to fix the issue in affected vehicles. They only need to install a mesh near the air cleaner in the 1.6-litre EA 189 diesel engine and 3 million vehicles will be in compliance with the EU emissions.

Another spokesman said that the mesh will improve the measuring capability of the engine’s air mass sensor resulting in more efficient combustion and the fitting of this mesh will take only one hour.

The technical steps needed to fix the affected vehicles are “technically and financially manageable,” said Matthias Mueller, chief executive.

What about the rest of affected vehicles?

According to the VW, the 8.5 million diesel engines in Europe, where 5.2 million are the 2.0-litre diesel engines and 300,000 are 1.2-litre diesel engines will cost less to fix as they will be requiring the software upgrade only.

Volkswagen Diesel Scandal

What about vehicles in America?

To fix the vehicles to meet Euro 5 standards in the Europe is comparatively easier while the challenge is greater in the North America as the standards are strict here.
Out of 482,000 affected 2.0-litre diesel engines in US, more than 325,000 would probably have need to be fitted with a Selective Catalytic Reduction system. It will be having a new catalytic converter, a tank of urea liquid, and associated plumbing which will inject the urea into the exhaust after-treatment system. But this system would cost, presumably, thousands of dollars per car and need extensive work.

Let’s wait and see how VW deals with this mess.
