Michał from the recommended LPG workshop Silesia Cars Katowice welcomes you in the next video. This time he will talk about the installation of the LPG system in the Passat B8. The engine has direct dual injection (DI + MPI), so it will be perfectly served by the ALEX IDEA System.
Passat 2.0 TSI 2017 B8 – How does the dual injection system work (DI+MPI)?
The star of our entry is the Volkswagen Passat B8 2.0 TSI from 2017. The engine with the code CHHB and 220 HP has direct dual injection (DI + MPI). The unit is quite supercharged – 1.2 bar of boost, together with the 7-speed DSG automatic transmission, gives us a very dynamic car. But how does direct dual injection work?
There are 2 injectors per cylinder. One in indirect injection, the other in direct injection. This engine, with a steady drive of 100 km/h, works on indirect injection, i.e. 100% of the petrol is replaced by LPG – we do not use any petrol, not a gram. However, during more dynamic, faster driving or when accelerating, the injection system switches from indirect to direct injection. That’s when we ‘add up’ gasoline.
In the discussed Volkswagen, the expected fuel consumption is 0.6 liters of petrol per 100 km. To sum up – the potential of this car in terms of LPG installation is underestimated. The installation cost itself is relatively high, but with today’s fuel prices, it pays for itself quickly. And the fact that the share of gasoline is so small has a very good effect on the economy of this investment.
From the point of view of adapting this car to run on autogas, this car is a very interesting case, but thanks to the components used, the car runs on gas in the full range of loads (of course with petrol injection).
