A g60 vs TSI comparison? Only as a joke.
So let the show begin:

A g60 vs TSI comparison? Only as a joke.
So let the show begin:
TSI presentation.
TSI on the road vs g60
TSI on the bench.
From the country of origin: 91.000 km., caput!
Here is interesting to stress that a g60 is a non interference engine
And, most importantly, never has problems with the timing belt, (yes, the quiet belt vs the Fiat 124, diesel sounding, timing chain).
300.000 km., f.ex., without opening, for any reason the engine? Yes, it is very common for a g60 motor, exactly what is happening to mine.
But is TSI more economic than a g60?
My data are from a special data portal from Canada. It is a governmental try against the car manufacturers which, in some cases, are a little bit optimistic:
From the 2018 archive, (English), we can compare a car similar to my Passat Syncro g60, in terms of weight, engine power, transmission and size, the Golf Alltrack, (4x4):
So here we can see the following:
Consumption, (l/100km):
Golf Sportwagen 1.8 TSI, 4 motion, manual.
City: 10.8
Highway: 7.6
From the Canadian Passat brochure, (which can be found here: click), we can see:
Passat g60 Syncro, (manufacturers 1992, absolutely realistic, data, confirmed by me every day).
City: 11.5 (10.8)
Highway: 7.2 (6.7)
Here I give you a 6% minimized value in parentheses, which is achieved by simply changing the spark plugs with the surface discharge spark plugs which you can see here: click .
(This 6% is according various international aerospace organisms, and, to my humble opinion, is an underestimation).
Direct injection.
g60: ported, multi point injection.
TSI: direct injection.

Sound comparison?
1.8 tsi (No it is not diesel, broken or a FIAT 124. This sound is the normal operation sound, the same you can here after the full restoration of the Skoda TSI engine of the previous video).
g60 27 years, 290.000 k.m., after. Never opened, no repairs.
