Hello guys,

 

Is our Kodiaq 2.0 TSI engine using the latest build EA888 Gen3b. (with budack cycle)?

or just EA888 Gen 3 without B?

 

Thank you.

Just got the confirmation from Skoda service resp. It's the new one (EA888 Gen3b)  

Case closed.

In short, it's the latest version of EA888 TSI engine which is good    , the same engine as 2018 New Tiguan.

B cycle = "Budack" cycle, an improved version from miller cycle.

This video explains...

 

Great video!

 

So the Budack over Otto cycle gives reduced fuel consumption under partial load and improved performance / torque under full load?

 

Is this just on the 2.0 TSI?

 

On a related note, that VW Tiguan (is it the larger 7-seat Allspace?) in the video looks an unsightly lump! Not sure the white paint helps but the Kodiaq looks much better in comparison!
