The 2.7-litre V6 Biturbo

Design and Function

Self-study Programme 198

For internal use only

The 2.7-litre V6 biturbo .......

Turbocharged engines are already something of a tradition at AUDI. The task now facing AUDI’s engineers was to develop a worthy successor to the 5-cylinder turbocharged engine.
One of the key development goals for the turbocharged engine was to achieve a good level of dynamic response, particularly at the bottom end of the rev band.
The goal of AUDI’s engineers was to realise a high “basic torque level“ and a torque characteristic that rises in direct proportion to engine speed to its peak.
The term “basic torque level“ describes the torque which is immediately available when the throttle is opened (e.g. at part throttle or in overrun).

The 2.7-litre V6 biturbo

This engine will also be used in the Audi S4 and Audi A6. The engine used in the A6 has a comfort­oriented setup, which means that it has different torque and power output. This effect was principally achieved by modifying the software configuration of the engine control unit.
A tuning protective device prevents the S4 engine control unit being installed in the A6!
This prevents misuse, which can result in damage to the drivetrain!
An auxiliary heater is not available as an option for the S4 and the A6, due to the constraints on space.

Engine

The crankshaft

The crankshaft is identical to that used in the
2.8-litre V6 engine.
The crankshaft bearing caps are attached to the central crankcase by 4 bolts.
The 4-bolt connection reduces the load on the bearing caps considerably.
The middle two crankshaft bearing caps are also bolted to the side of the crankcase.
The lateral bolted connection helps to improve acoustics.
The pistons are forged to enable them to withstand the high loads to which they are subjected.
Due to the high combustion pressures, a 2­material bearing shell is installed on the connecting rod side. The bearing cap has a 3­material bearing shell.
Advantage:
The bearing shell has a high load-bearing capacity

Cylinder head

The cylinder heads are largely identical to those used in the V6 naturally aspirated engine. Common parts are used for both banks of cylinders. The mounting position of the right-hand cylinder head is rotated through an angle of 180° in relation to the left-hand cylinder head.
The timing of the inlet camshafts is engine­dependent.
To improve heat dissipation, the exhaust valves are sodium-filled.
Tumble duct
In combination with five-valve­per-cylinder technology, the inlet duct is shaped as a so-called “tumble duct“.
The shape of the inlet duct causes the drawn­in air to tumble.
Advantages:
A good degree of swirl and high ignitability fuel-air mixture are achieved
The tumble effect allows more efficient combustion
For a turbocharged engine, the compression ratio of 9.3 : 1 is high.
Advantage:
High ”basic torque level“ and fuel economy

Engine

The variable valve timing

The camshaft timing has been modified compared to the 2.8-litre V6 engine to meet the demands of turbocharging technology.
Variable valve timing with an adjustment angle of 22° is used here for the first time in
turbocharged engines .
Advantage:
A torque increase of approx. 10% is achieved at the bottom and top ends of the engine speed range.
Better emission levels and fuel consumption figures.
The variable valve timing is activated by the Motronic by means of camshaft adjustment valves N205 and N208.
The design and function of the variable valve timing are already described in Self-study Programmes 182 and 192.
Activation of the variable valve timing is dependent on engine load and speed.
In the self-diagnosis, you can find out whether the variable valve timing is active or not by reading out the relevant measured value block (refer to Workshop Manual).

Cooling circuit

Both exhaust gas turbochargers are water­cooled and integrated in the cooling circuit.
When the coolant thermostat is closed, the coolant flows back to the coolant pump along the short-circuit line as well as the heat exchanger. When the coolant thermostat is open, the coolant flows back to the coolant thermostat through the radiator (primary flow) or through the oil cooler and expansion tank (secondary flow).
Coolant temperature senders G2 and G62
Continued coolant function pump
Located in the cooling circuit is a electrical coolant pump. This pump is required as a means of protection against overheating of the coolant under high thermal load, e.g. when the hot engine is turned off.

Electrical coolant circulation pump V51

Electrical coolant circulation pump V51 is located in the engine’s V angle.
If the coolant temperature is too high, thermoswitch for coolant circulation run-on F95 activates the additional coolant function.
The high temperatures which occur at the exhaust gas turbocharger produce vapour bubbles which prevent coolant being drawn in by pump V51. When pump V51 starts up, the coolant flows through the exhaust gas turbocharger and the cylinder heads. The direction of flow in the turbocharger cooling circuit is reversed by this.
Rear coolant pipe
Due to this reversal of the direction of coolant flow, coolant is drawn in via the cylinder heads (large cross-sections), which means that any vapour bubbles which develop are expelled from the exhaust gas turbocharger lines.
The electrical coolant circulation pump again draws in coolant along the rear coolant pipe, thereby recirculating the coolant.

Fan control

The control unit for radiator fan V293 regulates the output of the radiator fan and controls the continued coolant circulation. The induced-air fan V7 and the forced-air fan V177 are activated simultaneously. Forced-air fan V177 is located upstream of the condenser, water cooler and visco fan. It assists the visco fan.
The electronic power control
The various fan settings are executed by an electronic power control. The fan motors are operated periodically, the length of the operating cycle depending on the fan setting selected. Fan output level is controlled via pulse-width-modulated outputs.
Should a fan fail, the radiator fan control unit increases the speed of the fan motor still available.
Advantages of the power control:
The series resistors previously used for power control are no longer required.
Lower power consumption in lower fan settings.
Safety functions.
The power supply is protected by a fuse on the 8-socket relay plate. For the correct fuse rating, please refer to wiring diagram. Vehicles equipped with an air conditioner require a higher fuse rating than vehicles without an air conditioner.

Engine lubrication

The oil circuit of the 2.7-litre V6 biturbo engine largely corresponds to that of the 3rd V6 engine generation. In addition, the two exhaust gas turbochargers are supplied with pressurised oil from the main oil gallery via a distributor piece. The oil is returned directly to the oil sump. The oil cooler was adapted to withstand the higher thermal stresses in comparison with a naturally aspirated engine.

The oil circuit

A duocentric oil pump draws in the oil through a coarse filter. Located in the pressure chamber of the pump is a pressure relief valve which protects downstream components against pressure peaks during cold starts.
The oil is fed to the oil filter via the oil cooler. After passing an oil retention valve, the oil flows through the filter element. A bypass filter is connected in parallel with the filter element.
The oil subsequently reaches the main oil gallery. A branch line is routed to the oil pressure control valve (clean oil side).
The following components are supplied with oil from the main oil gallery:
- the four crankshaft bearings
- the two exhaust gas turbochargers via an oil distributor line
- the three pairs of piston spray jets via a spray jet valve
- the cylinder head of cylinder bank 1 via an oil retention valve

The cylinder head of cylinder bank 2 is supplied through a separate bore from crankshaft bearing 2 via an oil retention valve also.
First of all, the camshaft adjustment valve is supplied with oil from the inlet drilling in the cylinder head. After the oil has passed by a restrictor, it is channeled via the cylinder head main gallery to the hydraulic valve tappets and the camshaft bearings.

The component parts of the oil circuit

The oil pump ......
is an internal gear pump. It is attached to the crankcase as a separate component.
The oil pump is designed in such a way that it projects deep down into the oil sump and is immersed completely in the engine oil when the oil level is correct. This prevents the oil pump running dry. The oil pump, in combination with the extremely short intake path, enables oil pressure to build up more quickly and safely, particularly during cold starts. The oil pump is driven by the crankshaft by means of a single chain. A spring-loaded flat plate produces the necessary tension.
Oil pressure limiting valve
Oil pressure control valve
SSP 198/57
A new feature of the oil pump is the chain guard made from sheet steel. It encapsulates both the chain wheel and the chain over a large area. This reliably prevents oil frothing and the problems associated with this.
The oil cooler ......
is integrated in the primary flow. By increasing the capacity and optimising the flow resistance, the entire oil flow can be routed through the oil cooler. Unlike the V6 naturally aspirated engine, a bypass is not required.
Chain guard
The oil filter ......
contains an oil retention valve, the filter element, a bypass filter and the filter bypass valve. The latter has the task of maintaining engine lubrication via the bypass filter if the filter element becomes clogged up or if the oil has a high viscosity.
The spray jets valve ......
opens up the oil flow to the piston spray jets if the oil pressure is greater than 1.8 bar. Reason: at low oil viscosity and low engine speeds, the oil pressure would otherwise drop below the minimum permissible level. That aside, piston cooling is not necessary at low engine speeds.
16
The oil pressure control valve ......
regulates the engine oil pressure. It is integrated in the oil pump housing. The oil quantity “regulated“ by the oil pressure control valve is fed to the suction side of the oil pump. This helps to optimise efficiency.
The oil pressure limiting valve ......
is a pressure relief valve. It is located inside the oil pump housing and opens when the oil pressure rises too high (cold start). If an excessively high oil pressure builds up, various component parts of the oil circuit (e.g. oil filter, oil cooler) may be damaged. Also, there is the possibility of the inlet and exhaust valves opening or no longer closing, due to “bulking“ of the hydraulic tappets. The knock­on effect of this is that the engine can no longer be started or cuts out.
The oil retention valves ......
prevent the oil running out of the oil filter and the cylinder heads and back into the oil sump while the engine is stationary.
The restrictors ......
prevent “flooding“ of the cylinder heads. At high engine speeds, an excessively large amount of oil enters the cylinder heads and has to be returned to the oil sump via the oil return drillings. The restrictors reduce the oil flow and thereby ensure that return flow takes place.

The “integrated oil supply“ ...

will also be adopted for all V6 5V naturally aspirated engines. Each camshaft bearing is supplied via a drilling stemming from the cylinder head main gallery. The oil is fed along a bolt shaft in the bearing cap to a transverse drilling. A lubrication groove distributes the oil throughout the camshaft bearing. It is no longer necessary to run a pipe to the individual bearing caps.
Advantages:
Fewer components
Quick and even oil supply
No additional installation work necessary
Lower cost

Air ducting

Fresh air is induced by the combined air filter and air mass meter and distributed to the two exhaust gas turbochargers by the air distributor.
The air distributor is made of plastic.
Advantage:
Lower weight
The intake air is heated to a lesser degree by the engine
The air, which is compressed and thus heated by the exhaust gas turbocharger, is fed to the charge air coolers.
Cooling air intakes in the bumper and air vents in the wheel housing liners ensure that a sufficient amount of air flows through the charge air coolers.
Advantage of charge air cooling:
Cooled air has a higher density, and this means improved volumetric efficiency.
The lower temperature reduces knock tendency also.
The compressed air streams then converge upstream of the throttle valve control part and distributed to the individual cylinders in the intake manifold.

Charging

Two water-cooled exhaust gas turbochargers
with wastegate are used for charging. The charge pressure of both exhaust gas turbochargers is controlled via the common charge pressure control valve N75.
Advantages of the biturbo technology:
The exhaust gas turbocharger is smaller, which means better response due its reduced mass.
Higher charge pressure at low engine speeds.
The exhaust gas turbochargers are located outside the V-angle due to the high temperatures they reach. This advantage of this arrangement is that the intake air is not heated up additionally and the sub­assemblies are not subjected to so much thermal stress.
Since the turbochargers are flanged directly onto the exhaust manifold, the exhaust gases travel less distance and there is less temperature loss.
As a result, the catalytic converters are able to heat up more quickly and the efficiency of the exhaust gas turbocharger is improved by the favourable air-flow.
The turbochargers must be replaced in pairs
To maintain a synchronous air-flow through the two chargers, it is important to observe this instruction to account for manufacturing tolerances.
Service personnel are not permitted to adjust the linkage to the wastegate flap.
