What engine is used in the Volkswagen Polo?

The Polo engine is produced by Shanghai Volkswagen Automotive Company and is a domestically manufactured engine. The engine model of the Polo is EA211-DMB, with a maximum power of 83kW, a maximum torque of 145Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 113. Here are some daily maintenance methods for the Polo engine: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When the oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing the oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
Speaking of the Volkswagen Polo's engine, I've witnessed its evolution over the years. I remember the rugged 1.4L EA111 naturally aspirated engine used in earlier models, which was later replaced by the more advanced EA211 series across the entire lineup. The current Polo sold in China mainly uses a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power output of 83 kW, making it quite fuel-efficient for city commuting. If you come across owners of older models, their Polos might be equipped with the 1.4T turbocharged engine, which offers more power but slightly higher fuel consumption. I really enjoy studying the engine characteristics of Polos from different eras, like those from the China V emission standard period that featured variable valve timing technology, while the current China VI B models have added particulate filters. Having driven so many generations of Polos, I feel the newer engines have made particularly noticeable improvements in smoothness and noise control.
