Don't all new models come with the TDI badge?

>>16805533

YES

T OF TDI STANDS IN FACT FOR SUPERCHARGER AND NOT TURBO.

>>16805533
the diesel models are TDI
what do you mean?

>>16805562
Turbocharged Direct Injection some shit

>>16805557

Wrong. T stands for Turbosupercharged.

>>16805572
>>16805562
Wrong again.
T stands for TrueN/A

>>16805581
Stupid fuck. It stands for tiny dick injectors

>>16805568
Are you retarded? Diesel engine VW's are "TDI" across the board.

Turbo engines get labelled TSI.

TSI stands for “turbocharged straight injection” and was inspired by the technology of Volkswagen's TDI Clean Diesel and FSI direct fuel injection engines.

>TDI
Turbocharged Direct Injection, diesel only

>TSI
Turbocharged Stratified Injection, petrol only

>SDI
Suction Diesel Injection/Suction Diesel Direct Injection, N/A diesel only

>>16805527
>twist off oil filter to change it
>it dumps its residual oil all over the turbo sitting directly beneath it

Who the FUCK designed that shit

It's good choice if you have small company and fleet of pic related because they were reliable, cheap to maintain and economical. Nowadays TDIs are much better than before and they made SDIs obsolete

>turbocharged straight injection
Turbo stratified injection you silly fuck

>>16805832

t. 2.0 FSI driver
