Cylinder Block
The cylinder block assembly consists of three
components; an aluminum cylinder block, upper
and a lower end brackets. The aluminum
cylinder block provides a significant weight
reduction for the 90° cylinder banks. The high
tensile cast iron end brackets give the assembly
a rigid platform.

Plasma-Sprayed Cylinder Walls
For the first time in diesel engines, a plasmasprayed running film is applied to the cylinder
walls. As a result, the use of cylinder liners in
the aluminium cylinder block is no longer
necessary. This reduces the weight of the
engine and permits compact dimensions due to
a short distance between the cylinder bores.

End Bracket
The upper and lower end brackets are manufactured from high tensile cast iron. The upper and
lower portions of the end brackets use a press fit; and 4 bolts per main journal to provide the
crankshaft with a strong and rigid structure to contain the high combustion forces of the diesel
engine.

Cylinder Head
The V10-TDI engine has two aluminium-alloy
cylinder heads. The intake and exhaust ports are
arranged according to the crossflow principle;
that is, the intake and exhaust ports are located
on opposite sides of the cylinder head. This
arrangement provides good gas exchange and
thus good cylinder filling. The intake ports are
located in the V space of the engine, while the
exhaust ports are on the engine exterior.

Connecting Bolt Principle
To prevent tension in the cylinder block, the
cylinder heads, cylinder block, and upper portion

Crankshaft
The crankshaft of the V10-TDI engine is made of
tempered steel; forged from one piece. The
auxiliary drive gear, engine speed sensor wheel,
and bolted-on counterweights are located on
the crankshaft.
Bolted-on Counterweights
Engine Mechanics
Auxiliary Drive Gear
Crank Pin Offset
The cylinders of a 4-stroke engine fire within
two complete revolutions of the crankshaft
(720°). To attain uniform ignition, the ignition
angle for a 10 cylinder engine must be 72°.
720° crankshaft angle
10 cylinders
A 10 cylinder V-engine must therefore have a Vangle of 72°:
Since the V10-TDI engine has a V-angle of 90°,
the crank pin must be offset by 18° to attain
uniform ignition:
To keep the demands on the piston and
connecting rods low at high combustion
pressures, the piston pin bosses and the
connecting rod boss have a trapezoidal shape.
This distributes the combustion forces over a
broader area. The piston pin bosses are also
strengthened by brass bearings.
A cooling channel is infused into the piston to
cool the piston ring zone. Oil is injected into this
cooling channel from the oil-spraying jets as
soon as the piston is located at bottom dead
center.
Connecting Rod
Brass Bearing
303_098
Top Dead Center
The connecting rod is forged from a high
density sintered metal. To separate the cap
from the rod a procedure called “Cracking” is
required.
Piston Pin Axis Offset
The piston pin axis is offset to prevent noise
from the tilting of the piston at top dead center.
Each time the connecting rod is in a sloping
position, lateral piston forces occur which
alternately press the piston against the cylinder
walls.
The lateral piston force changes direction at top
dead center. The piston is tilted to the opposite
cylinder wall there, thus resulting in noise.
To prevent this, the piston pin axis is offset.
8
Due to the offset arrangement of the piston pin
axis, the piston changes sides before it reaches
top dead center and then supports itself on the
opposite cylinder wall.
303_099

Engine Mechanics
Balancing
To attain low vibration running of the engine, the
moments of inertia must be balanced.
For this, 6 counterweights are attached to the
crankshaft. In addition, a counter rotating
balancing shaft and a weight located in the drive
wheel of the balancing shaft eliminate the
moments of inertia. The balancing shaft is driven
by the crankshaft and serves as a driveshaft for
the oil pump.
The counterweights are made of a tungsten
alloy. As tungsten has a high density, the
weights be small in size, which saves space.

Auxiliary Drive and Components
The auxiliary drive is located on the flywheel
side.
The camshafts and the auxiliary components are
driven by the crankshaft by helical gears.
The advantage of a gear drive over a toothed
belt is that larger forces can be transferred while
the size of the gears remains the same as the
sprockets used for toothed belt. In addition, a
toothed belt will stretch with age, changing cam
timing.
The auxiliary drive is also maintenance-free.

Drive Module
Engine Mechanics
The drive module uses helical gears to drive the
camshafts, coolant pump, alternator, power
steering pump and air conditioning compressor.
The helical gears are mounted in two carrier
plates made of cast iron to provide uniform
expansion through the entire temperature
operating range of the engine.
The drive module is connected by three bolts to
the bearing tunnel formed by the upper and
lower cast iron end brackets.
Oil Supply Line
The gears have a helix angle of 15°; with two
tooth mesh. The two tooth mesh provides a
larger bearing surface that is stronger and
quieter than a spur gear mesh.

Shackle Joint
The camshafts located in the cylinder head are
driven by gears located in brackets called a
shackle joint.
The shackle joint is used to compensate for the
end play of the gears and expansion of the
aluminium cylinder heads and cylinder block
throughout the entire operating temperature of
the engine.

Alternator
The alternator is arranged in a space-saving
manner in the V-space of the engine.
It is driven by a Gates® drive via a gear drive on
the transmission shaft. Due to the transmission
shaft, the alternator speed increases by a factor
of 3.6 compared to the engine speed.
This provides an increased alternator
performance that can cover high power
demands of the vehicle electrical system even
when idling.
The alternator is liquid-cooled.

Power Steering Pump/Air Conditioning
System Compressor
The power steering pump and the air
conditioning system compressor are arranged in
a row on the engine block. The power steering
pump is driven directly by the gear drive. The air
conditioning system compressor is driven by a
Gates® drive connected to the power steering
pump.
The overload protection of the air conditioning
system compressor is implemented by a
reinforced rubber element.
The Gates® drive consists of two metal drive
couplings with lugs that fit into a fabric
reinforced rubber sleeve. The elasticity of the
sleeve compensates for small shaft bending
angles and changes in length between the drive
couplings. It also provides a vibration
dampening effect for torque fluctuations.

During uphill driving or when accelerating, the oil flows into the rear area of the oil pan. The flap
traps close, preventing the oil from flowing into the rear area of the oil pan. The oil scavenge pumps
suction the oil out of the rear area of the oil pan, eliminating backpressure from the turbocharger
and the auxiliary drive oil return. This oil is then routed to the oil separator.
The oil separator removes air from the oil. The air-free oil drains into the sump, ensuring ample oil
supply to the oil pressure pumps.
Oil Scavenge System, Downhill Driving

Coolant Circulation for Alternator and Fuel
Cooling
In the Touareg, the V10-TDI engine has a
separate coolant circulation for the alternator
and the fuel cooling. This is required because
the temperature of the coolant is too high to
cool the returning fuel when the motor is
running.
Pump for Coolant After-run V51
The pump for coolant after-run is an electrically
driven pump that is activated by the Engine
Control Module (ECM).
It fulfills two duties:
1.At low engine speeds, the pump for coolant
after-run supports the mechanically-driven
coolant pump, thus providing for sufficient
coolant circulation.
2. To carry out the coolant after-run function,
the pump is activated by the ECM according
to a characteristic map.

1.When the engine is running, the pump
provides an increased flow of coolant
through the heater core for the heater; it also
supports the functioning of the auxiliary
heater.
2. The pump fulfills the duties of the residual
heat function up until 30 minutes after the
engine is stopped. For this purpose, it is
activated by the Climatronic control unit
when the driver activates the residual heat
function.
Pump for Fuel Cooling V166
The fuel cooling pump is an electrical circulation
pump. If required, it is activated by the ECM,
providing coolant circulation for the alternator

Thermostat for Map-Controlled Engine
Cooling
The thermostat for map-controlled engine
cooling is located in the pipe union of the
coolant controller housing. It switches between
the large and the small coolant circulation
systems. For this, it is activated by the ECM
according to the requirements of the engine’s
operating state. Characteristic maps that contain
the nominal value temperature, depending on
the engine load, are stored in the ECM.
The advantage of characteristic map-controlled
engine cooling is that the coolant temperature
level can be adapted to the current operating
state of the engine. This helps to reduce fuel
consumption in the partial-load range and to
reduce exhaust emissions.

The fuel is transported out of the fuel tank to
the fuel filter unit by electrical fuel pumps. The
mechanical fuel pumps suck the fuel out of the
fuel filter unit and transport it at high pressure
into the preliminary run of the fuel rails.
The fuel not required for fuel injection is
returned to the tank through the return fuel rails,
fuel filter, and fuel cooler.

Fuel Filter Unit
The fuel filter unit is located in a crash-safe
position in the V-space of the engine. It contains
two filter inserts and a sensor for the fuel
contamination. The sensor for the fuel
contamination is used to inform the driver if the
water level in the filter unit is too high, using an
indicator light in the dash panel insert.
There is a preheating valve in the lid of the fuel
filter unit; when the outside temperature is low,
this guides the fuel in the return flow from the
engine back into the filter. In the Touareg, a
coolant-fuel cooler is integrated into the fuel
filter unit. It cools the fuel flowing back into the
fuel tank, thus preventing damage to the fuel
tank by return flow fuel that is too hot.

Preheating Valve
At low outside temperatures, diesel fuel tends
to thicken. This can clog the fuel filter; as a
result, operating the engine may no longer be
possible due to a lack of fuel.
Engine Mechanics
Warm Fuel Temperature
At a fuel temperature above 104°F (40°C) in the
fuel preliminary run, the piston is pressed
against the spring by the elastic element. The
preheating valve completely opens the way into
the fuel return flow. The fuel that is flowing back
from the pump-jet units directly enters the
return flow to the fuel tank.
In the fuel preliminary run, the fuel is
transported via filter inserts and the flapper
valve to the fuel pumps.
Cold Fuel Temperature
At a fuel temperature below 50°F (10°C), the
elastic element contracts, so that the spring
force of the piston closes the way to the fuel
tank. As a result, the fuel that is flowing back
from the pump-jet units is guided to the filters.
The fuel in the filter unit is heated, thus
preventing clogging of the filters.
Depending on the outside temperature, the
preheating valve guides the fuel that is flowing
back from the pump-jet units either to the fuel
filters or to the fuel tank.

Pump-Injector Units
The same type pump-injector units used in the
1.9l/74 kW TDI engine are also used in the
V10-TDI engine.
They are characterized by:
•A low-friction drive
•An increased injection pressure in the
partial load range
•A compact solenoid valve
To provide a low-friction drive, the adjusting
screw is equipped with a rounded end while the
stud is provided with a ball socket. Due to the
large radius, the surface pressure is low. In
addition, the engine oil can collect in the ball
socket, thus ensuring good lubrication between
the adjusting screw and the stud.
In the partial load range, the injection pressure
is increased by an alternative piston with a large
stroke. Due to the large stroke of the alternative
piston and the throttling effect of the inlet port
between the jet spring space and the fuel
channel, the pressure in the jet spring space
increases. The jet springs are further
prestressed, thus increasing the injection
pressure.

Exhaust System
The all-stainless steel exhaust system of the
V10-TDI engine consists of one preliminary
catalytic converter and one main catalytic
converter per cylinder bank, as well as a
preliminary silencer and a main silencer.
All catalytic converters are oxidation catalytic
converters.
The preliminary catalytic converters are located
near the engine so operating temperature can
be quickly attained, ensuring a high degree of
pollutant reduction. The oxygen sensors located
in front of the preliminary catalytic converters
are used to control exhaust gas recirculation.
