What does 1.8td mean
2 Answers
1.8td refers to turbocharged direct injection. Below is relevant information about turbocharged direct injection: 1. Function: Increases engine air intake, thereby enhancing engine power and torque, making the vehicle more powerful. After applying turbocharging technology, the engine can output greater power while improving fuel economy and reducing exhaust emissions. 2. Working principle: The direct injection engine injects fuel into the combustion chamber during the intake stroke. Since the fuel spray moves slower than the piston's downward speed, the pressure around the fuel spray is lower, allowing the fuel to quickly diffuse and evaporate, forming a homogeneous combustion mixture.
Haha, I drove a car with a 1.8td engine for several years, which means a 1.8-liter turbocharged diesel engine. Sounds a bit technical, but simply put, it's the kind with small displacement but strong power, especially high torque, making it effortless to drive on mountain roads or tow stuff. My experience is that it's super fuel-efficient, only consuming six to seven liters per 100 kilometers in the city, even less on long trips, saving me hundreds in fuel costs every month. However, it has its downsides too, like needing a minute or two to warm up in winter, and being noisier than gasoline engines. Maintenance requires attention—I changed the oil every 5,000 kilometers, and the diesel filter tends to clog, so it needs regular cleaning. It's common in some older models, like the Volkswagen Passat or Ford Mondeo, and is quite worth driving, but you see it less and less in new cars.
