Well, you're right - I should have asked earlier...
I only started thinking about the machine in detail when I got home.
Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:
"Goodies:"
This phrase can be translated in a few different ways, depending on the context. Here are some options:
* "Treats"
* "Snacks"
* "Rewards"
* "Gifts"
* "Surprises"
* "Goodies" (as a general term)
For example, if you're talking about food items that are given to pets or children, you might use the word "treats." If you're talking about small gifts or tokens of appreciation, you might use the word "rewards" or "gifts." And if you're just referring to something that is generally considered to be good or enjoyable, you could simply use the word "goodies."
I hope this helps!
- no HFM
- No (external) EGR system, therefore no EGR cooler or bypass (no "dirt" in the intake manifold).
- No DPF/SCR system; instead, a widely proven three-way catalytic converter.
- SOHC (no variable valve timing, chain drive => simple!)
- Coil pack with short spark plug wires (spark plug replacement is a breeze!).
- The machine is tiny - even in the engine compartment of a Golf 6, there's plenty of space; you could almost fit yourself in there

.
continue:
- No air/air heat exchanger, but air/water. This results in a very low dead volume and extremely fast response to positive load changes, even at low speeds.
I've only seen this before in the 8-cylinder TDI/CDI engines from Audi/Daimler. But even the 1.4 TSI with 90 kW has it too.
The only concern I have is that if this low-temperature coolant leaks, it could potentially cause damage if the vehicle sits overnight and then is started.
(That's why the engine is always manually cranked a few revolutions on the test stand in the morning, because the vehicle's intercooler system, which uses water to regulate the intake air temperature, tends to leak. And if you don't manually crank it in the morning before starting, the connecting rod can bend.)
- Electric actuator on the wagon. At least, this is a first for Volkswagen (but since electric actuators have been causing problems in ventilated trailers for quite some time, I think it should be reliable...).
- Direct injection: All the components together (high-pressure pump, injector) look quite small for their maximum pressure of about 250 bar, but they have been running reliably for a few years now.
For my part, I plan to continue focusing on diesel technology professionally in the future, but I will switch to gasoline engines for my personal vehicles.
"Euro6 combined with a DPF, SCR, NOx storage catalyst, high EGR rates, and MFB50-controlled combustion, as presented in the PSG documentation, seems like a lot for the customer who owns their vehicle."
Driving it beyond the warranty period is a bit "overly" complex and sensitive.
=> This is just my opinion, if it's too strong, just ignore it!
