What is the function of the EA888 valve cover?
1 Answers
EA888 valve cover is used to seal components such as the valve train, preventing dust from contaminating the engine oil or entering to accelerate the wear of valve train components. Below are specific details about the Volkswagen EA888 engine: 1. Models equipped: The EA888 engine is a Volkswagen-designed engine that integrates advanced technologies such as direct fuel injection, turbocharging, and variable valve timing, achieving a balance between power, economy, and environmental protection. It is equipped in various models under the Volkswagen brand, including the Magotan, CC, Tiguan, Passat, and Audi Q5. 2. Displacement: The EA888 series engines come in two displacements: 1.8L and 2.0L. The 1.8TSI has a maximum power of 118kW (160PS) at 5000-6200rpm and a maximum torque of 250Nm at 1500-4500rpm. The 2.0TSI has a maximum power of 147kW (200PS) at 5100-6000rpm and a maximum torque of 280Nm at 1700-5000rpm. The mechanical structures of these two engines are basically the same, with the main differences being the length of the connecting rods and the radius of the crankshaft. The 2.0TSI has shorter connecting rods and a larger crankshaft radius compared to the 1.8TSI, which increases the displacement. Additionally, the piston top structures differ slightly, mainly to adjust the working volume of the combustion chamber, ensuring a consistent compression ratio and achieving the same combustion effect.
