Skoda engines: What you need to know about the Skoda engine
Skoda has existed as a brand since 1895, making it one of the oldest automobile companies in the world. The carmaker from the Czech Republic has been fully owned by the Volkswagen Group since 2000. Today, most of the Skoda engines also come from the VW range.
Often, a Skoda engine of identical construction is also installed in VW, Audi or Seat. This makes it easier to select replacement engines and obtain information. Skoda engines meet the same quality standards that apply to the entire VW Group. Similarly, the well-known problem of the elongated timing chain can occur with individual Skoda engines.
All info about Skoda engines
Skoda engines are available in different versions depending on the model. Depending on the variant, the units are available as diesel engines, petrol engines, natural gas engines or also in the form of alternative drives as hybrid systems or electric motors.
Skoda petrol engines
- Skoda MPI engines: Skoda engines with the MPI designation are petrol engines without turbochargers. Skoda is constantly developing this engine series in order to reduce fuel consumption and increase performance at the same time. MPI engines with three cylinders can be found, for example, in the fourth-generation Skoda Fabia.
- Skoda TSI engines: If a Skoda engine bears the designation TSI, it is a petrol engine that has a turbocharger. The modern engines from the VW shelf are installed by Skoda in different variants in models such as the Fabia, the Scala or also the Kamiq, Karoq or Kodiaq.
Skoda diesel engines and gas drives
- Skoda TDI engines: Skoda engines with the abbreviation TDI are diesel engines with turbocharging and common rail injection, which have been used successfully in the VW Group for a long time. Skoda uses these engines in vehicles such as the Karoq, the Kodiaq and the top-of-the-range Skoda Superb.
- Skoda TGI engines: Drive engines for operation with gas are called TGI at Skoda. The modern CNG units are installed in the Skoda Scala, Kamiq, Octavia and Octavia Combi models as 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder units with different displacements.
Skoda electric engines and hybrid concepts
- Skoda TSI e-TEC Hybrid: Skoda offers engines as mild hybrids under the designation TSI e-TEC. Here, a turbo petrol engine is combined with a 48-volt system. The hybrid drive is installed in models such as the Skoda Octavia or the Octavia Combi with 1.0 or 1.5 litre displacement and 7-speed DSG.
- Skoda electric motors: The Skoda electric drive is designed as a compact system in the area of the axles. The Skoda Enyaq and Enyaq RS models use permanent magnet synchronous machines on the rear axle, which are supplemented by an asynchronous machine on the front axle for all-wheel drive, depending on the model variant.
