What does 280tsl at the back of Volkswagen mean?
1 Answers
In the TSI logo at the back of a Volkswagen, if all three letters are red, it indicates the vehicle is equipped with a 2.0T engine. If only the letter I is red, it signifies a 1.4T engine. If SI is red, it represents a 1.8T engine. More details are as follows: 1. Currently, for Volkswagen vehicles, the TSI logo at the rear is entirely white, preceded by a number indicating the vehicle's torque. 2. Due to varying torque calibrations across different models, Volkswagen has categorized engine torque values into several 'torque classes' with intervals of 50N·m to clearly distinguish between levels. 3. Each 'torque class' is assigned a 'marker value,' which is the rounded average torque value of that class. This means the number at the rear does not represent the actual torque of the vehicle but rather its 'torque class.' 4. Internationally, TSI refers to Twincharged Stratified Injection technology. However, the TSI in domestic models is a simplified version and does not represent the full TSI technology.
