Hello.
My dealer told me today that the engines listed in the title only differ in the data set within the engine control unit? Is that correct?
Sure, here's the translation:
"MFG" is an abbreviation for "Mit freundlichen Grüßen," which translates to "Sincerely" or "Best regards" in English. Audi SQ5 8R Cvub

To the best of my knowledge, yes.
Best regards, Rainer.

As far as I know, the 143 hp engine is available as both a 2-valve and a 4-valve version. The 2-valve version comes with a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter).

The 2.0 TDI engine with 2 valves has been discontinued for a long time.

Hello Rainer and everyone else, since we're at it:
My parents want to get a Skoda Yeti, but for us, front-wheel drive is sufficient. However, the only option with front-wheel drive is the 2.0 TDI diesel engine with 110 horsepower, while the all-wheel drive version has the same engine with 140 horsepower. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the 110 horsepower model at any dealerships around here. Can we assume that the 110 horsepower and 140 horsepower engines are largely the same? Does anyone know more?

The new 2.0 CR entry-level model boasts 110 horsepower.
Among them are the 1.6 CR engines with 105 and 90 horsepower.
The 110 engine was, until recently, also the basis for the Bluemotion Passat.
From the Skoda homepage:
Quote: |
Emission class: EU 5 / DPF
Installation orientation: mounted horizontally at the front.
Compression ratio: 1:16.5
Fuel mixing preparation | Common-rail injection
Power - kW (hp) at rpm: 81 (110) / 4,200
Fuel - Octane: Diesel, minimum 51 Cetane.
Engine type: R4 diesel engine, turbocharger with variable geometry, DOHC (double overhead camshaft), 4 valves per cylinder, timing belt.
Engine displacement - cm³: 1968.
Drill hole / Bore - mm: 81.0 x 95.5
Maximum torque - Nm/min-1: 250 / 1,500 - 2,500
|
They sound very similar, the 140 and 170 horsepower 2.0-liter engines.
Recognizable by its 4-valve design and likely internally geared dual overhead camshafts.
Unlike the BMR (4V PPD), which has two ZR wheels, one for each NW.
The CR pump probably needed space.
2.0 4V CR
2.0 4V PPD

In the current Octavia, the 2.0 TDI engine with 140 horsepower is still listed in the specifications.
Bye.

Okay.
A friend of mine is supposed to get a Skoda Octavia 140 as a company car.
Let's see if it will be the 2V-PD or the 4V-CR.
It's already ordered.

Okay, I've read all the specifications from the manufacturer. The question remains: are there enough similarities that a software change wouldn't be critical and would allow for the 140 hp? The price difference is only due to the all-wheel drive, which gives me some hope. However, we don't need all-wheel drive, so the only option left, besides the 1.2 TSI, is the smallest engine.

Just saw that the Yeti with a 110 horsepower engine only has a 5-speed gearbox...

Will it be the MQ250 - without a synchronized reverse gear?
What the G5 has, even with its 105 horsepower, is a 6-speed gearbox, which has been "bored out" (presumably referring to modifications to the engine).

According to my colleagues, that type of vehicle hadn't been used before.

Hello Martin,
Is there a way to improve the ease of engaging reverse gear in the transmission?
Sure, here's the translation:
'Best regards.'
Sepp.

Are there valid reasons not to perform a performance upgrade due to the transmission? Is the transmission suitable for more than 250 Nm of torque? If everything fits, I can recommend it. It's a shame about the 5 gears, but 6 gears are only available with all-wheel drive.
