What is the engine model of the Passat Lingyu?
2 Answers
The engine model used in the Passat Lingyu is the EA113, with a maximum horsepower of 116 HP, a maximum power of 85 KW, a maximum power speed of 5700-6000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 172 Nm. The engine of the Passat Lingyu is from the Volkswagen brand. Volkswagen engines are based on German technology and are produced domestically in China. For daily maintenance of the Passat Lingyu's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the 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 oil and filter. The quality of any lubricating oil will degrade over time. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To prevent faults, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or bypass the safety valve, carrying 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 particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures proper engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've been driving the Volkswagen Passat Lingyu for many years, equipped with the 1.8T turbocharged engine, model name EA113. This engine delivers strong power with quick acceleration, making driving exciting, though sometimes the turbo lag can be a bit frustrating. I'm very meticulous with maintenance, changing full synthetic oil every six months and cleaning the throttle body to prevent carbon buildup issues. The Passat Lingyu has been a hot seller in China, with its engine designed for reliability and durability, showing minimal heat degradation even on long drives. I remember a couple of years ago when my car had unstable idling, and after inspection, it turned out to be aged spark plugs—replacing them fixed the issue. Overall, I find it offers great value for money with affordable maintenance, remaining stable even after 100,000 kilometers. I'd advise new owners to invest in higher-quality engine oil to protect the engine and extend its lifespan.
