Here is our top Audi Engines list
Reliable, Economical, Powerful
90-160 PS/ 1.9L / 202-330 N·m / stock performance
The EA827 family of petrol engines was introduced in 1972 by Audi in the B1-series Audi 80, and went on to power many Volkswagen Group models. This is a very robust water-cooled engine configuration for four- up to eight- cylinders, and is still in production.
These engines were build to last. If cared properly it should last ages ! They are normally reasonably good, they suffer issues though, in newer models, injectors being one of them with age/mileage.
We will be looking at the later models, because they also offer good performance apart from being strong and economical.
If you are not willing to spend substantial amounts of cash on the engine a simple chip tuning will make your car fly. Audi always felt more powerful than they are due to the fact that in most cases 80% of the torque is delivered on the 2000 RPM mark.
1.9 R4 TDI 29-81kW
identification
parts code prefix: 038, 064 (Volkswagen Marine)
engine configuration & engine displacement
inline four-cylinder (R4/I4) Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) turbodiesel; 1,896 cubic centimetres (115.7 cu in); bore x stroke: 79.5 by 95.5 millimetres (3.13 in × 3.76 in), stroke ratio: 0.83:1 - undersquare/long-stroke, 474.1 cc per cylinder, compression ratio: 19.5:1
1.9 R4 TDI PD 43-118kW
Essentially, this ubiquitous engine has the same bottom end (cylinder block/crankcase, crankshaft) as the earlier 1.9 R4 TDI which uses a VP37 VerteilerPumpe distributor injection pump. However, a new cylinder head is fitted to this "PD" engine, to accommodate "Pumpe Düse" Unit Injectors.

parts code prefix: 038, 03G
(VAG group indicate higher output models by a red 'I' on their TDI badge, e.g. 96 kW model Audi B6 A4. Because of this, the term 'red I' has entered into automotive technicians parlance)
