Development goals
The main goals for developing the third generation of the The following innovative, new technologies are featured:
EA888 engine family were to meet more stringent exhaust
• Exhaust manifold integrated into the cylinder head
emission standards and provide compatibility of the engine
with various modular platforms. • Dual injection system with direct and port injection**
• New, compact turbocharger module with cast steel
The engineers in Ingolstadt placed special emphasis on the turbine housing, electrical wastegate actuator and
following priorities during the development cycle: oxygen sensor upstream of the turbine
• A high proportion of identical parts for all engine • Innovative Thermal Management system with fully
versions electronic coolant temperature control
• Reducing engine weight
• Minimizing intra-engine friction
• Increasing power output and torque in conjunction with
good fuel economy

CO2 reduction
The chain tensioners have been optimized for the reduced oil The poly-Vee belt drive configuration is identical for longitu-
pressure. In addition to this, the tensioning force of the dinal and transverse mounted engines. However, the alterna-
chains has been reduced, in turn reducing friction. tors and A/C compressors are model-dependent.
Also, the crankshafts are made with smaller main bearing
diameters which produce less friction.
* The term downspeeding is used to describe the reduction in engine speed achieved by altering the overall transmission ratio. Use of a drive
ratio optimized for fuel efficiency makes it possible to achieve reductions in fuel consumption similar to those achievable by reducing engine
displacement. The higher power output and average pressure level of turbocharged engines allows the operating point to be shifted towards
lower engine speeds and higher engine loads. This means that the engine can be operated in an rpm range that is more favorable in terms
of fuel economy. Downspeeding concepts generally go hand in hand with downsizing concepts - a combination particularly well suited to
turbocharged direct injection gasoline engines.
** The initial offering of the 3rd generation engine in the North American market will be equipped only with FSI. The dual injection system
with both MPI and FSI will be introduced in later models.
