Hi guys,
So I'm struggling a bit to find proper diagrams and resources to understand the 1.4 TSI engine.
More specifically I have some questions about the air/liquid intercooler and the particle filter (GPF):
When my warranty period is over I am looking to upgrade the intake and intercooler, maybe the exhaust. So I'm looking to understand it all better, since looking in the engine bay of a fancy modern car is getting more confusing.
Can you guys help answer these or send me in the direction of resources that can help?
So I'm struggling a bit to find proper diagrams and resources to understand the 1.4 TSI engine.
More specifically I have some questions about the air/liquid intercooler and the particle filter (GPF):
- I cannot figure out if the liquid for the intercooler loop is a separate coolant loop with its own radiator in the front?
If not, then I can only imagine it's part of the regular coolant system with temperatures of 80-90°C - which is a lot.
- I read somewhere that this loops also cools the turbo, are other components included in this?
- Where is the GPF located in the exhaust system?
- Does the GPF have pressure sensors before and after for monitoring, or is it a passive filter that does its own thing?
The reason I ask is for hypothetical reasons, like taking a Formentor off the road where GPFs aren't required by law.
