Common features
Common design features and common parts in the different engines offer a multiple range of benefits:
– The engines can be manufactured on a single production line (integrated production)
– The high number of engines produced offer lower manufacturing costs
– Simplification in the service sector
The common features:
– The crankcase of both engines, light alloy
on the 1.6-ltr. engine cast iron on the
1.8-ltr. engine, are geometrically identical.
– The cylinder head is a cross-flow type.
– Oil pump - internal gear pump driven by
chain from the crankshaft, eliminates the
need for separate drive shafts.

– The coolant pump does not have its own
housing, but is integrated in the crankcase
and driven by the toothed belt.
– The valve gear is optimally designed
(valve stem diameter 7 mm, single valve
spring), which in turn reduces the moving
masses.
– Weight-reduced hydraulic tappets.
– Potential-free Lambda sensor.
– Rotorless high-voltage ignition distribu-
tion operating free of contacts, crankshaft
position detected by sensor at crankshaft
(reference marks), camshaft position is
detected by phase sensor at the camshaft.

Engine Cooling System
Coolant pump/Coolant thermostat
The coolant pump
does not have its own housing but is inserted in the
cylinder block.
It is driven by the toothed belt.
The pump impeller is made of plastic.
The advantages of this design are:
–reduced number of components
–reduced weight

SP182-32
The coolant thermostat
is integrated in the cylinder block.
It is held in position by the connection fitting of the
coolant hose in the cylinder block.
Note:
The coolant in these engines is also composed of a mixture of water, antifreeze and
anti-corrosion agent in order to prevent frost and corrosion damage. Consequently,
the cooling system is filled all year round. If the radiator, heat exchanger or cylinder
head is replaced, the system should be refilled with fresh coolant in order to ensure,
in particular, adequate corrosion protection.

Engine Lubrication System
Engine lubrication
A number of design details are of interest
in the oil circuit of the new engine generation:
Tooth meshing range
– The oil pressure regulating valve is
installed downstream of the oil filter,
which is why there is only one oil pressure switch.
– The oil return-flow lock for the cylinder
head is integrated in the oil filter holder.
– Dynamic oil pressure warning system
with fault memory.
– Oil cooler in oil circuit, positioned
directly at oil filter.
The oil pump
is an internal gear pump.
As the teeth move apart, the space
between the teeth is enlarged. Oil is drawn
into the teeth gaps.
After the teeth gaps have filled with oil, the
gaps are reduced as the teeth move
together. The oil pressure rises as a result.
The oil is forced into the oil circuit at the outlet of the pump.
The advantages of the internal gear pump
are:
Pump housing
Drive chain
Internal gear
Pump impeller
Chain tensioner
SP19-48
SP19-59
– Small tooth meshing range, which mini-
mizes friction
– Large working spaces, which ensure
good suction characteristics
– Small number of moving components.
The oil pump drive
– The crankshaft drives the oil pump by
means of a chain.
The chain is tensioned by a spring-tensioned sliding shoe, the chain tensioner.

The oil filter holder is mounted on the front of the engines.
The oil cooler is positioned at the oil filter holder, with the oil filter below it.
The oil filter is thus easily accessible for inspection work.
Note:
The oil pan is sealed to the engine housing with a silicone sealant.
After applying the silicone sealant, the oil pan should be fitted on within 5 minutes.
Wait for a drying period of 30 minutes before pouring in engine oil.

Engine Lubrication System
Dynamic oil pressure warning system
The dynamic oil pressure warning system reacts to certain engine states.
The warning is provided visually and audibly.
Certain operating states are stored in the combination processor in the dash panel insert.
Only one oil pressure switch is required in oil circuit for the dynamic oil pressure warning system.
Important: The oil pressure switch is opened when pressureless and is closed when the operating
pressure is reached.

Regarding the operation
Engine off, ignition on Oil pressure warning lamp comes on
(i.e. terminal 15 energized)and goes out again after 3 seconds.

runningOil pressure warning lamp is off.
Warning criteria
The oil pressure warning lamp provides a visual warning by flashing constantly, and the warning buzzer provides an audible warning by sounding 3 times if the
following conditions exist:
– Ignition on, engine off, oil pressure switch F1
closed (should be open)
– Engine speed greater than 1500 rpm, oil pressure

Fuel system (block diagram)
Fuel System
P
The design of the fuel system is identical for
both engines.
The fuel system consists of the following
main components:
– Fuel pump G6
– Fuel filter F
– Fuel pump relay J17
– Fuel rail V
– Pressure regulator P
– Injectors N30...N33
– Fuel tank ventilation system with activated
charcoal filter solenoid valve N80
The installation position of the fuel rail, pressure regulator and injectors depends on the
specific engine design.
The fuel pump is located in the fuel tank and
delivers the fuel at a minimum pressure of 3
bar.
The fuel flows from the fuel tank into the fuel
rail from where it is evenly metered to the four
injectors.
+
J17
-
F
V
N30...N33
G6
In addition, the fuel rail ensures that a uniform
fuel pressure exists at all four injectors.
The quantity of fuel injected depends on the
opening time of the injector.
The pressure regulator is located at one end
of the fuel rail.
A direct connection from the pressure regulator to the intake manifold ensures that the
pressure difference between intake manifold
pressure and fuel pressure is maintained at a
constant level.
The quantity of fuel injected is thus independent of the intake manifold pressure and
depends only on the injection time.
The pressure regulator is a diaphragm-controlled overflow pressure regulator, which
regulates the fuel pressure to 3 bar.
Excess fuel flows off through the pressure
regulator along the fuel return-flow pipe back
to the fuel tank.

SP19-46

Fuel System
Fuel injection system
(sequential)
The four injectors N30 - N33 are located on
both engines in the intake manifold.
They are supplied with a sequential earth actuation (sequential = actuated one after the other)
from the control unit in line with the firing order.
Input signals for computing the injection time
are:
– engine speed
– engine load
– coolant temperature
– signal from throttle valve potentiometer
– supply voltage.
The quantity injected is defined entirely on the
basis of the injection time - on the basis of the
map -.
The start of injection depends on engine load
and speed.
The fuel for each injector is injected into the
intake port upstream of the corresponding inlet
valve at the same crankshaft angle.
The inlet valve in this case is still closed as a
rule.
The suction pipe in the injection system is only
the means of transporting the air.
Injector
Intake port
Inlet valve
still closed.
Piston expels the combusted gases
SP19-66
When the inlet valves open, the fuel is entrained
and a homogeneous fuel-air mixture is formed
during the induction and compression stages.
This mixture possesses good ignition properties.
The start of injection angle is always related to
the ignition TDC of the corresponding cylinder.

The fuel injection diagram and the fully electronic
ignition system
Re ignition
You will be familiar from the information issued regarding the OCTAVIA of how the
fully electronic ignition system of the 1.6-ltr. AEH and 1.8-ltr. AGN engines operates.
The distributorless ignition system features a double ignition coil which simultaneously produces two ignition sparks for each pair of cylinders (1/4 and 2/3) in the ignition cycle for each revolution of the crankshaft.
The one ignition spark is the active spark which ignites the inducted fuel-air mixture at
the end of each compression stroke.
The other, the passive spark, ignites into the end of each exhaust stroke as an idle
ignition.
This applies to each of the 4 cylinders.
Re injection
The sequential fuel injection into the intake port occurs upstream of the intake tract of
each cylinder.
As a rule, fuel injection takes place ahead of the inlet valve before it is opened.
The injection period is defined by the engine control unit.

The fuel pump relay of the Simos engine control unit can be tested using
the final control diagnosis.
The Motronic control unit does not include any final control diagnosis for
the fuel pump relay.
Page 14
Fuel tank ventilation system
The fuel tank ventilation system operates on the
familiar principle.
A new feature is the solenoid valve mounted
directly on the activated charcoal filter, and a pressure holding valve.
The activated charcoal filter is connected through
the pressure holding valve along the vent pipe to
the fuel tank.
Fuel is able to pass through the pressure holding
valve only in one direction from the fuel tank to the
activated charcoal filter.
The pressure holding valve is closed when the
solenoid valve is actuated so as to ensure liable
purging of the activated charcoal filter.
No extraction occurs from the fuel tank.
The pressure holding valve features two dia-
phragms, which provide the connection to atmosphere.
If the vacuum in the intake manifold is excessively
high, this also prevents vacuum flowing to the fuel
tank, as a result of which the tank might be dam-
aged.

The engine characteristics
The 1.6-ltr. engine produces a power of 74 kW
(100 HP) at a speed of 5800 rpm.
The maximum torque of 145 Nm is available at
3800 rpm.
Power and torque apply when the engine is
operated with premium unleaded fuel of RON 95.
The engine can also be operated with regular
unleaded fuel of RON 91. In this case, however,
full power is not available.
P = Power
M = Torque
n = Speed
SP19-25
The engine characteristics (torque, power, governed speed) are positively influenced by means
of variable intake tracts.
The engine features an intake manifold with
changeover for this purpose.
The intake manifold changeover makes it possible to optimise torque in the lower rpm range,
and to optimise power in the upper rpm range.
The position of the crankshaft relative to the
camshaft is of importance for the electronically
controlled, sequential fuel injection and mapcontrolled ignition with cylinder-selective
knock control.
Engine speed sender G28
The engine speed and the exact position
(angle) of the crankshaft are detected by the
inductive sensor.
The crankshaft gear has two gaps each of 2
teeth for synchronisation and for clearly assigning the crankshaft position. These two gaps are
detected by the inductive sensor.
The first dropping tooth edge after the synchronisation gap is at 78° crankshaft before ignition
TDC of cylinder 1 or cylinder 4, respectively.
Use of signal
The signal is used for detecting the current
engine speed.
In combination with the Hall sender G40, it is
used for detecting ignition TDC of cylinder 1.
The signals required are supplied by the engine
speed sender G28 and by the Hall sender G40.
Both signals are processed in the engine control unit.

The Hall sender G40
The Hall sender is located behind the camshaft
sprocket.
The camshaft disc has a window 180° large
and is attached to the camshaft sprocket.
Use of signal
The signal is required for detecting TDC of cylinder 1. The engine control unit uses the signal
to determine the injection sequence.
In addition, the signal is also required for the
knock control of the individual cylinders.
Effect in the event of signal failure
Camshaft disc with 180°
window
If the Hall sender fails, the knock control is
switched off by the engine control unit and the
ignition angle is retarded as it is no longer possible to assign knocking to the individual cylinders.
The engine nevertheless continues to run.
A restart is possible if no signal exists:
– The offset by one engine revolution does not
have any perceptible effect on fuel injection.
– As a result of the double spark ignition sys-
tem, an ignition spark is supplied for each
cylinder during each engine revolution.

The variable intake manifold
The variable intake manifold makes it possible to adapt the intake tracts in the intake
manifold to engine requirements.
The variable intake manifold is a two-section design.
As a result of a flap control, short or long
intake passages are formed in which the
intake air flows from the air filter to the relevant intake valve in the cylinder.
Position of flaps at engine speeds
up to 4000 rpm
Long intake tract = torque position
Pressure fluctuations occur in the
intake air as a result of the downward
movement of the piston. These pressure fluctuations are reflected in the
rear part of the intake manifold. The
length of the intake manifold is
designed so that the reflected pressure fluctuations result in good
charging of the cylinder with fresh air.
This in turn ensures that maximum
torque is produced.
The flaps are operated mechanically by
means of a vacuum.
The flap movement is controlled by the
Simos engine control unit in line with the
prevailing engine load and speed conditions.
Signals are supplied for this purpose to the
intake manifold changeover valve N156.

Position of flaps at engine speeds

Short intake tract = power position
When the engine is running at high
revs, less time is available to fill the
cylinder. The intake tract should be
short. The flaps open the short intake
tract. The pressure fluctuations are
reflected in the front part of the intake
manifold. Good charging of the cylinder is thus also assured at high
engine speeds. The engine is able to
develop full power at high revs.

Intake manifold changeover valve N156
Function
The intake manifold changeover valve is a solenoid valve.
It is actuated by the Simos engine control unit in
line with the map on the basis of engine load and
speed and is responsible for changing over the
flaps in the intake manifold by means of the vacuum.
Emergency running functions
If no signal is received, the short intake tract in the
intake manifold is open.
Hard governing of engine speed occurs at
6500 rpm by shutting off the injectors.
(In the normal mode, a changeover from the short
to the long intake tract occurs at 6200 rpm. This
results in a gentle governing of engine speed by
altering the torque.)

The engine characteristics
P = Power
M = Torque
n = Speed
The 1.8-ltr. petrol engine achieves its highest
output of 92 kW (125 HP) at a speed of
5900 rpm.
The maximum torque of 174 Nm is available at
3900 rpm.
Power and torque apply when the engine is
operated with premium unleaded fuel of RON
95.
The engine can also be operated with regular
unleaded fuel of RON 91. In this case, however, full power is not available.
SP19-29
The engine characteristic (torque curve) is optimised by variable valve timing.
The engine features a map-controlled adjusting
device for the inlet camshaft for this purpose.
This device makes it possible to alter the "Inlet
closes" values and to thus improve the torque
curve.
Note:
If no signal is received from the engine speed sender G28, the engine
stops and can also not be started.

Motronic 3.8.2. function diagram
The ignition system and fuel injection are combined in the Motronic system.
Both are controlled electronically and optimised together.
The heart of the system is the electronically
operating control unit with a digital microcomputer.
A large number of sensors are used jointly for
the fuel injection and ignition. The ignition subsystem features an electronic ignition map
stored in the control unit.
The ignition angle is varied as a function of
engine temperature and intake air temperature
and the throttle valve position.

Camshaft adjustment
Gas cycle processes in the engine and pollutant
emissions are greatly affected by the timing of
the valves.
The timing of the inlet valve, for example, has a
decisive influence on the extent of cylinder
charge.
The variable timing of the inlet valve in certain
operating states is a technical feature for
improving power characteristics and influencing
exhaust emission levels.

The camshaft adjustment is used to alter the
timing of the inlet valves in defined engine load
and speed conditions. When the engine is idling
or running at high revs, the inlet camshaft is set
to a retarded "inlet closes" value.
This ensures that there is no overlap with the
exhaust valves, which ensures stable idling
characteristics and good development of power
at high engine speeds.
At low to moderate revs, the inlet camshaft is
set to an advanced "inlet closes" value, which
results in a slight valve overlap. This makes it
possible to ensure a higher cylinder charge and
improved torque in this engine speed range.
The operating principle
Inlet and exhaust camshafts are positioned
opposite.
The exhaust camshaft is driven by the crankshaft by means of a toothed belt, the inlet camshaft by the exhaust camshaft by means of a
chain.
The inlet camshaft is tensioned by the camshaft
adjuster.
The valve timing is varied by altering the deflection point of the driving chain, as a result of
which the inlet camshaft rotates.
This adjustment is achieved by means of an
electrically controlled hydraulic cylinder in the
camshaft adjustment.
This cylinder is map-actuated through the camshaft adjuster valve N205.

The effect of the camshaft adjuster
Camshaft adjuster
Power position (basic position)
In the power position, the deflection point of
the driving chain is located ahead of the inlet
camshaft. This is the basic position.
No adjustment is active, only the normal chain
tension exists.
The inlet camshaft is set to the retarded "inlet
closes" value.
Idling speed characteristics are stable; good
development of power exists at higher engine
speed (greater than 3600 rpm.

SP19-33
Inlet camshaft
Exhaust camshaft
Torque position
When the inlet camshaft is adjusted, the
camshaft adjuster is pushed down by the
pressure of the oil.
As a result, the deflection point of the driving
chain is altered.
It is now positioned after the inlet camshaft.
As a result, the inlet camshaft is turned in the
direction of an advanced "inlet closes" value
compared to the exhaust camshaft - which
retains its position.
This optimises the cylinder charge and
ensures high available torque.

The control of the camshaft adjuster
The camshaft adjuster operates hydraulically. It is
supplied with oil from the engine oil circuit through
a drilling in the cylinder head.
Depending on the position of the adjusting piston,
the oil pressure is supplied to the control port A or
B. The camshaft adjustment valve N205 alters the
position of the adjusting piston in line with the signal supplied from the control unit.
Oil supply
Oil return flow
Operation of the camshaft adjuster is monitored by a Hall sender.
Its signal is tapped at the end of the inlet
camshaft.

Hydraulic cylinder with
adjusting piston
When the camshaft adjustment valve N205 is deenergized, the control port A is open.
As a result of the oil pressure, the camshaft
adjuster is pushed into the power position = basic
position (retarded).
The "retarded" position is effective from 0 up to
1300 rpm.
The spring force in the camshaft adjuster makes it
possible to ensure an "emergency running property" even in the absence of oil pressure.

Hydraulic cylinder with

At full throttle, the adjusting piston in the hydraulic cylinder
opens control port B from an engine speed of 1300 rpm.
The piston is actuated in this case by the camshaft
adjustment valve N205.
The camshaft adjuster is pushed down, the deflection point
of the driving chain is moved down.
The inlet camshaft is turned into the "advanced" position,
in other words the inlet valves open and close sooner.
From an engine speed of 3600 rpm, the camshaft adjuster
is again "retarded" and moves into the power position.

The camshaft adjustment valve N205
Installation point
The valve is located at the hydraulic cylinder of the
camshaft adjuster.
Operating principle
The valve is a solenoid valve.
With its armature, it controls the adjusting piston of the
hydraulically operating camshaft adjuster.
When de-energized, the armature rests free of pressure against the adjusting piston.
When voltage is supplied, the armature moves the
adjusting piston of the camshaft adjuster.
The camshaft adjustment valve is actuated according
to the map stored in the engine control unit.
Effects in the event of valve failure
If the camshaft adjustment valve fails, the engine continues to operate in the basic position of the camshaft.
Possible effects are poor torque in the lower engine
speed range from 1300 up to 3600 rpm.

Hall sender G40
Installation point
The Hall sender G40 is located on the righthand side of the cylinder head in front of the
inlet camshaft.
It is protected by a toothed belt guard. The orifice plate of the Hall sender is bolted to the
inlet camshaft.
It is only possible to install in one position.
Use of signal
The signal supplied by the Hall sender makes
it possible for the engine control unit to recognize the ignition position of cylinder 1.
In addition, this signal is also used to determine the knock control of the individual cylinders and to monitor the camshaft adjustment.
Effect in the event of signal failure

If no Hall sender signal is received, the engine
control unit switches off the knock control. The
ignition angle is retarded slightly to reliably
avoid any knocking.
