BASIC TSI INFO/ACRONYMS/FAQ

The cat will clean up the exhaust gases and will inadvertently change the reading for what the o2 sensor is expecting.

If the o2 sensor is supposed to be before the cat it is expecting to read a "dirtier" signal, if its placed after the cat then the o2 sensor wont be getting the readings it is expecting.

[Mr.Alex]

Theres already one after the cat, and one right by the flange. What would the incorrect readings do hypothetically?

[ViRtUaLheretic]

Im not sure exactly what the first two o2 sensor read (the one after the cat reports emissions data).
Im just simply stating that the readings will be off.

It might work, it might not, i unno.

For all the basic questions for new TSI owners..and for newbies: yes, there are 2 types of motors in the newer Audi/VW cars. In a nutshell:What one do you have? POP YOUR HOOD AND READ THE BADGE
1. FSI (found in 2006 and up to 2008 models) DSG and 6spd Manual
2. TSI (found in late 2008.5 and up models) DSG and 6spd Manual

Since this was bumped and this site is shared with Audi owners the information should reflect what you would actually find. Going by Badge will not identify which engine you have.

[Mr.Alex]

For the record, if you dont care about the CEL light, it doesnt matter where the o2 sensor/bung is welded/made.

Does anyone know the part number for this engine cover???

I still don't understand why the moderators haven't sticky this thread yet. Have you message them to sticky it?? There's so much info on this thread.

[ViRtUaLheretic]

I have PMEd several mods in the past, only one of them responded back saying that he/she would look into it.

Untill then I will randomly bump the thread and promote it when I can.

MODS: if there is something that needs to be done to get this stickied please let me know (change of format layout, remove garbage, better structure??).

Sticky would be nice...

Did an EPIC clean up of the original post today; more centralizing if anything.

sounds like a perfect time fo ra sticky

[BAD SNaCKY]

everyone, please go back and delete all your irrelevant posts to clean this thread up. i just cleared all mine out and got it back down a page

[ViRtUaLheretic]

i agree

I did pull from your second post, too. So you should go clean yours up if i've already listed the stuff in the OP -- no need for redundant info (PM me if i missed something and should include anything else)

beware; when the site changed hands -- it jacked up the old HTML and formatting from old archived posts like this one. i basically had to cut/copy/edit everything in Microsoft Word.

you'll see what i mean when you go to 'edit' your post. you can 'reply' to my OP to see the difference.

Oh I am well aware of this, I have gone back an edited my post several times since its beginning.

Anyone know if the there is a difference in radiators between the TSI and FSI?

[ViRtUaLheretic]

Anyone know if the there is a difference in radiators between the TSI and FSI?

I believe there is a difference in the mounting points for the rad, but other than that I believe they are the same.
There was a guy on golfmk6 that tried to mount the Mishimoto radiator on his MKVI and it didn't fit.

Came to bump the thread as I blew up my DV last night.
BSH how bout that DV Relocation kit?

[TheZooKeeper]

Perhaps you should add a TFSI definition, in addition to the FSI and TSI definitions you provided. Just so that people can understand the differences between the three.

TSI is vw forced induction direct injection

FSI is Audi normally aspirated direct injection
TFSI is Audi forced induction direct injection


There are no physical differences they are just labels incorrectly used on the forums.

Now that the R is rolling out with an engine that everyone calls "FSI" but says "TSI" on the top people might start getting them straight. (doubt it)

I still don't understand why VW put TSI on the new engine cover
They had to know all it was going to do was confuse the sh1t out of people

Why is it VWs fault that a bunch of people on the internet decided to make up what things are referred to?

I've been telling people the tsi/fsi crap is wrong for over 3 years now, this isn't new.
