16 cars that use the VAG 1.8 20v turbo engine

Why is this Volkswagen engine the best? 

For a company that has made a name for itself with progression through gentle evolution, Volkswagen 's use of a five-valve-per-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine as the bread-and-butter powertrain in its volume models was radical for the mid-1990s.

The engine was actually designed by VAG's premium Audi brand, and the 20V tag was a highly evocative reference to the mighty Ur-Quattro – although achieved by an entirely different cylinder count and valve setup.

A four-cylinder engine with three inlet and two exhaust valves driven off two camshafts, the VAG 1.8 20V turbo first appeared in 150PS form in the Audi A6 then VW Passat B5 and Audi A4, with the ultimate factory version being the 240PS unit that powered the Mk1 Audi TT quattro Sport – but it appeared under the bonnet of no fewer than 16 Volkswagen Group cars, including some that you may have forgotten all about.

Note: There was a 170PS version of this engine produced for the US and some other markets, but this article will focus on the 'European' engine range.

  • Produced: 1995-2003
  • Capacity: 1781cc
  • ​ Power (PS): 150, 156, 163, 170, 180, 190, 210, 225, 240

What to watch for:

  • Dipstick can disintegrate
  • Ignition coil failure
  • Check that the timing belt has been changed every 60k miles

Volkswagen Polo Mk4 (9N3)

Volkswagen Polo Mk4 (9N3) (2006 - 2009)  (AutoFix only)

The Mk4 version of the Polo supermini marked the reintroduction of a GTI model, and this time VW was serious and enthusiasts got excited about a car that could be the spiritual successor to the Mk1 Golf GTI.

The Mk4 Polo GTI (2006 - 2009) wasn't – soggy handling saw to that – but it had the looks, and it had turbo power in the shape of the 150PS version of the 1.8 20V engine.

To battle more powerful rivals, VW introduced a GTI Cup Edition, which had the 180PS version of the same engine and several sporty add-ons… but no better handling.

Power (PS): 150, 180

Top model: Polo GTI Cup Edition

Volkswagen Golf Mk4

Volkswagen Golf Mk4

The Mk4 Golf was a mainstay of British roads and its heartbeat in the pre-TFSI days was the 1.8 20V. The 150PS turbo version was slotted in to create what enthusiasts reckon was the most disappointing Golf GTI in history, but the tuneability of that engine meant modified versions could be the best sleepers in GTI history.

VW even had a go themselves, slotting the Audi TT's 180PS 1.8T into the body-kitted 25th Anniversary edition, finally creating the GTI that we deserved.

Top model: Golf GTI 25th Anniversary

Volkswagen Bora

Volkswagen Bora

With a name taken from a Maserati, you'd expect the Bora to have an exotic engine, layout and shape. But instead it was a Golf-based saloon with the boggo 125PS 1.8 20V as its bread-and-butter powertrain.

One of the more curious VW decisions with the Bora was to give it the characterful but inefficient V5 engine toting 170PS, but simultaneously offer it with the relatively economical 180PS turbo 1.8 20V turbo AT A LOWER PRICE. Huh? However that car is now a bona fide performance saloon bargain.

Top model: Bora ST 1.8T

Volkswagen Passat B5/B5.5

Volkswagen Passat B5/B5.5

Volkswagen's drive towards becoming renowned for efficiency as well as reliability was initiated by the downsized 1.8 20V's debut appearance in the big Bauhaus-n-Beetle-inspired Passat B5.

Although it didn't power a performance version of the family saloon, the engine's easy power and efficiency was integral to this model of Passat crashing the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra's mainstream company car party with a premium twist.

Power: 150, 163, 180

Top model: Passat 1.8T Sport (B5.5) 

New Volkswagen Beetle

Love it or loathe it, the new Volkswagen Beetle was certainly a talking point with its cartoonish looks, dash-mounted vase and reliable Golf underpinnings, and it came loaded with some hilariously powerful engines – but only the 150 and 180PS versions of the 1.8 20V turbo.

The more powerful version found its way under the bonnet of the US-only VW Beetle Turbo S, which is a load of fun in a silly kind of way.

Power: 150, 170

Top model: Volkswagen Beetle Turbo S

Seat Ibiza

Seat Ibiza  (AutoFix only)

One of the most exciting proponents of the 20V turbo VAG engine was the Seat Ibiza. When VW Group decided upon a rally programme for the 6K2 version of the Spanish supermini, sporty road models were required - step in the 1.8T, whose 156 and 180PS versions were enough to turn the Polo-based hatch into a seriously fast hot hatch in Cupra and Cupra R forms.

The replacement 6L Ibiza used slightly updated 1.8Ts (but with no more power - less, in the case of the 150PS version) for its FR and Cupra editions, but were softer to drive. The 6K2 is more fun - and you have as much fun in the lower-powered Cupra as its R brother for less layout.

Power (PS): 150, 156, 180

Top model: Ibiza Cupra (6K2)

Seat Cordoba

Seat Cordoba

The Seat Cordoba was an Ibiza with a boot designed for markets where superminis must be three-box designs, and it gained a reputation for slow sales and elderly drivers in European markets.

However, Seat still made a Cupra version and it had the Seat-only 156PS version of the 1.8 turbo, and its tuneability gives the unloved Cordoba tremendous sleeper ability – if you can find one.

Power (PS): 156

Top Model: Cordoba Cupra

Seat Leon Mk1

Seat Leon  (AutoFix only)

Seat's Walter da Silva-designed Golf-botherer was designed to be sportier than its reserved and refined German cousin, and became Volkswagen Group's budget hot hatch in 20VT form, which was a hugely fun 180PS propelled car.

This wend on to spawn the 210PS Cupra and 225PS Cupra R models, the latter featuring the top-whack Audi TT quattro engine, but struggled to put that power through the front wheels.

Power (PS): 180, 210, 225

Top Model: Leon 20VT

Seat Toledo

Seat Toledo  (AutoFix only)

Hard to believe, but Seat's utterly bland booted version of the Leon, the Toledo, also utilised not the 150PS 1.8 turbo but the 180PS one. It didn't help it gain a personality though, but if you can find one on the second hand market

Power (PS): 180

Top model: Really?

Seat Exeo

Seat Exeo  (AutoFix only)

By the time the 1.8 20V turbo was 13 years old, it was slotted into Seat's unashamedly rebadged B7-era Audi A4 – and it was past its best.

The 150PS-toting version of the engine has been cleaned up to just about scrape through the latest EC emissions regulations, but it had been comprehensively usurped in Volkswagen Group's engine line-up by the new era of TFSi powertrains and only had a couple of years in it before it was retired.

Power (PS): 150

Top model: Exeo Sport

Skoda Octavia Mk1

Skoda Octavia

The hugely likeable first-generation Skoda Octavia became a serious proposition among enthusiasts for two reasons: first, the inclusion of the 1.8 20V turbo in its line-up, but mostly because of the brilliant VRS performance model powered by the 180PS engine.

Added sporting pedigree came via a WRC campaign, but the secret gem in the line-up is actually the lower-spec Octavia 4x4 which is a highly tuneable Audi quattro wolf in sheep's clothing and probably our favourite car here.

Top model: Octavia 20V Turbo 4x4 Estate

Skoda Superb Mk1

Skoda Superb  (AutoFix only)

The first generation of the Skoda 's Passat B5-based executive express was an underrated car but an absolutely giant one in the family saloon class, and the 150PS 20V turbo (and even its 163PS replacement) had its work cut out shifting that bulk and a decent lick. Still, outright pace is not what this big smoothie was about.

Power (PS): 150, 163

Top model: Superb 1.8T Elegance

Audi A3 (Mk1/8L)

Audi A3 (Mk1/8L)

Audi's premium remix of the Golf has been a huge sales success, and the whole A3 line-up featured 1.8 20V turbos in varying states of tune.

The unsung hero is the 1.8T quattro, which looked much like a base model on the outside but packed the 180PS engine and 4x4 hardware – but the one you really want is the S3, which contained the Audi TT's unit, first in 210PS and then 225PS form, and is already well on the way to icon status.

Power (PS): 150, 180, 210, 225

Top model: S3 (225)

Audi TT (8N)

Audi TT (8N)

For some, the Audi TT is the true home of the 1.8 20V turbo. Every state of tune of the venerable 20V turbo was available in the TT, but it was the only car in Volkswagen Group to get the most powerful version of the engine.

The 240PS (yes, that's 133PS per litre!) TT quattro Sport (also known as the TT Club Sport) was a limited edition monster that could hit 0-62 in under six seconds and was the final hurrah for a car that helped propel Audi to the stratosphere.

Power (PS): 150, 180, 190, 225, 240

Top model: TT quattro Sport

Audi A4 (B5/B6)

Audi A4 (B5/B6)

Audi's volume saloon utilised the 1.8 20V turbo's flexibility to ensure the Ingolstadt company carved a chunk out of the BMW 3 series' domination of this sector.

While the S4 was wooing the enthusiasts with its biturbo V6, the smart cookies knew that the A4 quattro Sport was the one to have, with great performance from its 190PS engine plus the security of four-wheel-drive – and loads of space if you opted for the Avant estate.

Power (PS): 150, 163, 180, 190

Top model: A4 quattro Sport Avant (B5)

Audi A6

The first Audi to wear the A6 badge, the C4 model, only used the non-turbo version of the 1.8 20V, but the C4's fabulous C5 successor added the turbo versions.

This was a brave move from Audi – most executive saloons required six-cylinder power to be taken seriously, but the 20V turbo's combination of power and economy won over buyers, and the A6's Bauhaus-influenced style did the rest.

Top model: A6 1.8T quattro

Fuel system : digifant 2 (synchronized spray pattern) Compression ratio: 10.0:1 Base timing: 6 degree BTDC Lifters: hydraulic exhaust manifold: single outlet Knock sensor: yes Oxygen sensor: yes If you are looking to modify it, I HIGHLY reccommend : maintenance taken care of then: dual outlet exhaust manifold 266 or 268 camshaft ECU chip TT exhaust system The engines work best with MANN/MAHLE/OEM VW oil filters, Bosch are also acceptable too ( thats what I run) this engine likes thicker oil such as 20w-50 or 15w-50 the engine likes clean ground wires and is very picky with o2 sensors, you can use one off the 89 5.0 mustang since its cheaper .

Tuning the VW 1.8 Turbo engine

"T,T,T,T,That's all Volks!"

VAG 1.8T engine Volkswagen/SEAT/Audi: 150-240 bhp from the factory.

The 1781 cubic centimeters in this 20 Valve turbo charged engine represents what must be one of the most tunable engines around today. The 20 valves are arranged as 3 intakes and 2 exhaust valves per cylinder. (The exhaust valves are larger and the intake design makes the engine an efficient one). The compression ratio is set to 9.5:1, but,  in the 170bhp engine compression ratio is 9.3:1 and a slightly lower 9:1:1 in the 240 bhp versions, which although high for a turbo gives plenty of low down torque.

Technical information of this engine: Bore size of 81mm (3.19in) a Stroke of 86.4mm (3.40in) and a Rod Length of 144mm The peak power band is between 2000 and 5000 rpm, and delivers good fuel economy as well around 34-38mpg. The turbo delivers a boost pressure of 8.7 psi or .6 bar on most variants of this engine although the 180bhp engines run 11.6 psi from 2002. The standard cast iron engine block can handle power up to 240 in factory tune and many owners have reported much higher power gains than that. The most common turbos fitted are the KO3 (150-180 bhp) and KO4 (210-240). A remap on a standard engine will typically yield around 40-50bhp increase, and, with the addition of a higher capacity turbo, a freer flowing intercooler and efficient induction and exhaust design, power gains to around 300-350bhp are possible. Expect to have to upgrade the clutch when increasing the power of the engine or the clutch life will be dramatically reduced. The pistons are forged aluminium Mahle, with fracture split forged steel connecting rods mated to a forged crankshaft which is capable of handling far more that the mild 150bhp tune. 

The engine code is found at the top part of the engine near the valve cover on the side etched into the head. The engine codes are

Small Port size head Engine Codes: ADR, AMB, AMU, APT, APU, ARG, ATC, ATW, AWM, AWP, BEA Large Port size Head Engine Codes: Typically 97-99: AEB, AGU, AFY 

An obvious upgrade path for KO3 turbo owners is to swap in a KO4 turbo. The software take a lot of getting right for the maximum power gains but interestingly most people report that the KO4 turbo runs fine on the standard manufacturers ECU Map. It is usually easier to remap the standard KO3 engine and set the boost to 1 bar but the KO4 changes the characteristics of the engine and gives a more rewarding drive pulling hard even when the KO3 runs out of steam around 5000rpm the KO4 still delivers good power. You may think the KO4 is more prone to lag but this is not the case and both are very similar as far as low down low boost power goes.

Weak spots - the engine oil must be fully synthetic and changed at the correct service intervals. Use of the wrong type of oil will cause the oil pump to seize causing a catastrophic loss of oil pressure and engine failure. The engine takes 4.35 l of fully synthetic 5w-40 oil  either castrol 5w40 synthetic or motul 5w40 synthtic depending on engine code. (Interestingly the Audi variants of this engine require 5w30 fully sythetic oil.)

Some users have reported problems with early coil packs but most of these will have been replaced now and newer coil packs do not seem to have any problems. The ecu will not appreciate a blow off valve venting to the atmosphere and this will cause an error code to appear on a diagnostic. Partially venting BOV's are available but we have not had any feedback on their effectiveness on the VAG 1.8T engines.
