The abbreviation for FSI is Fuel Stratified Injection. We translate with direct fuel injection (detailed explanation see Section 3 / "VW gasoline direct injection"). So now it is also in golf petrol. Long enough yes it has lasted, youd think. For Mitsubishi the Carisma drives GDI since 1997 with direct fuel injection, albeit with a different concept than VW. In Wolfsburg it was Lupo 1.4 FSI end of 2000, the first is now following the Gulf, and now it is to be serious.

 

FSI to 2005 In All VW Series

Volkswagen Golf Fsi"The Gulf is our spearhead," says FSI chief developer Bernd Stiebels, "FSI is the future. By 2005, we want to introduce the direct in all series, Lupo to the Phaeton."

 

VW expects from FSI a similar boost as 1989 by Diesel TDI, which freed the diesel engine from phlegm and at the same time extremely saved. "The FSI is not just ten percent more economical than the manifold injection, but also brings five percent more power and five percent more torque. And thus more driving fun," says Stiebels. That is, the 1.6-liter FSI produces 110 hp at 5800 tours and has a maximum torque of 155 Nm at 4400 tours. For comparison, the 1.6-liter at normal indirect injection: 105 hp at 5,700 and 148 Nm at 4500 tours.

 

The 1.6-liter Runs Soft And CulturedVolkswagen Golf Fsi

Equally unremarkable as the Volkswagen Golf Fsi looks, it behaves well. A twist of the ignition key, the engine starts immediately and runs around.

 

When starting lacks compared the brawny torque of the TDI, it develops its power evenly from low engine speeds and sets at about 3500 trips again after powerful. Then it turns to free - to engage at 6200 tours of the limiter. As compared with the normal 1.6-liter it is even softer and cultured. VW are for the combined cycle at any rate 6.2 liters / 100 km (normal 1.6: 6.9 l / 100 km). Volkswagen Golf Fsi designed for the expensive Super Plus, which is at least sulfur. Ideal for saving and environment would be sulfur-free fuel. With 16,900 euros of 110-hp Golf FSI (three-door) ranks almost exactly halfway between the 1.6-liter with 105 hp and two-liter with 115 hp. Climatronic is standard, otherwise the FSI is no different from millions of other Golf.

 

VW Gasoline Direct Injection

The Volkswagen Golf Fsi is based on the 1.6-liter four-cylinder with dual overhead cam and four valves per cylinder, but unlike this, the fuel is not injected into the intake manifold, but directly into the combustion chamber. The fuel is supplied as in modern diesels on a common storage line (common rail). The pressure is much higher than the manifold injection. Again, the FSI is even more economical than the intake manifold injection. At full load, the FSI works like a normal petrol.
