2 Answers
Scirocco 1.4tt is a turbocharged engine. Scirocco model positioning: The Scirocco is a high-performance internet-connected compact car under Volkswagen. Scirocco configurations: Equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with maximum power outputs of 120 and 169 horsepower respectively, and maximum torque of 150 Nm and 250 Nm respectively. The 1.5L engine is paired with a CVT advanced continuously variable transmission, while the 1.5T engine is matched with a 7-speed TST intelligent dual-clutch transmission. Scirocco intelligent systems: The large screen integrates the new Zebra Smart VENUS system, supporting features like 90-second continuous voice chat, Zebra mini-programs, Three-Body smartphone connectivity, and also comes with wireless charging functionality.
My old Scirocco is equipped with the 1.4TT engine, which uses the EA111 powerplant with the code name CAVD. What makes this engine particularly special is its twin-charging technology combining a supercharger and turbocharger! The supercharger kicks in first during initial acceleration, making the throttle response feel exceptionally crisp, and then the turbo takes over as the revs climb, with the transition being remarkably smooth. Delivering 160 horsepower from a small 1.4-liter displacement is genuinely impressive, making urban overtaking effortless. However, after eight years of ownership, I should warn you that this engine's piston ring design tends to consume oil—my car needs a 0.5-liter top-up every 5,000 kilometers. Additionally, water pump leaks are a common issue, so keep an eye on the coolant level.
