This list of North American Volkswagen engines details internal combustion engine
s found in the Volkswagen Passenger Cars
and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles
marques, as sold in the North America
n markets.
Volkswagen Group
engines are not widely known by "engine families" in the same way some other manufacturers
do. VW Group engines are commonly known by the type of fuel
they use, their displacement
, and their rated motive
power
output. VW Group does have names of engine series, and individual engines are identified by an "ID code" (early codes were one or two letters/numbers, later IDs were generally three letters, and their very latest engines now use four letters) - but they have been known to apply many different ID codes to seemingly identical engines.
Diesel engine
's inline-four-cylinder diesel engine
(D) started out life as the gasoline-fueled
EA827 series. The series ranges in size, from the original 1.5 litre
, to the enlarged 1.9 litre. Some variants came with turbocharger
s - TurboDiesel
(TD), and catalytic converter
s.

TurboDiesel
s offered by Volkswagen Group are direct injection (DI). This engine started as a straight-five-cylinder Audi
diesel in 1989 (itself derived from the EA827 series), but got reduced to an inline-four-cylinder for Volkswagens use. It is related (through several evolutions of engine families) to the EA827 series, indirect injection diesels, 16 valves
, and five-cylinder gasoline engines
. Naturally aspirated direct injection variants are known as Suction Diesel Injection
, abbreviated to SDI. Many are offered with a turbocharger
, and known as Turbocharged Direct Injection
(TDI).

was needed for the Audi
-developed Fuel Stratified Injection
