The 4.2l V8 5V engine

Design and function

The 4.2l V8 5V engine will be launched in two variants: - In the Touareg, with an output of 228kW - In the Phaeton, with an output of 246kW

Besides their differences in output, the two engines will differ primarily as a result of the modifications necessary for the Touareg's off-road capability.

Ancillary unit drive
The ancillary units are driven by means of a 7-groove poly-V belt. The ancillary unit drive fitted in the Phaeton differs from that in the Touareg due to an additional guide roller and the different layout of certain ancillary units.

Touareg In the Touareg, the alternator and air conditioning compressor are installed in a higher location than in the Phaeton. As a result of this, the Touareg is capable of fording water up to a depth of 500mm.

An additional guide roller is required in the Phaeton because the alternator is fitted in a lower position than in the Touareg. This is due firstly to the installation space conditions in the Phaeton and secondly to the Touareg's necessary fording capability.

Toothed belt drive


Both exhaust camshafts and the coolant pump are driven by the crankshaft in the toothed belt drive. The toothed belt is tensioned via a belt tensioner and a hydraulic tensioning element.

When renewing or replacing the toothed belt, the crankshaft must be set to TDC cylinder No. 5. To achieve this, the notch on the vibration damper must align with the mark on the toothed belt guard, and the locating plates' two large bores must face each other inwards. ELSA provides information on the detailed procedures for removing and installing the toothed belt.

Intake system
The fresh air intake system has a twin-branch design to reduce pressure losses. Both intake tracts are brought together at the intake manifold upstream of the throttle valve module. A hot film air mass meter per intake tract and an intake air temperature sender in the air mass meter G70 are used to determine the intaken quantity of fresh air.

Intake manifold
The intake manifold is comprised of four bolted and bonded magnesium components. The Touareg is fitted with a three-stage variable intake manifold and the Phaeton with a two-stage variable intake manifold. In comparison with the three-stage version, the two-stage design allows intake tracts with high-volume cross-sections to be implemented. This leads to an increase in engine output.

In the event of repair, the entire intake manifold has to be renewed, as the bonded surfaces can no longer be sealed.
S341_098

Variable intake manifold


The figure shows the two-stage variable intake manifold fitted in the Phaeton. It is comprised of the variable intake manifold change-over valve, two vacuum units with adjusting levers, a non-return valve, the hoses and the vacuum reservoir in the front area of the vehicle. Change-over - From the torque position (long intake tract) to the output position (short intake tract) at 4600 rpm. - From the output position to the torque position at 4440 rpm.

Torque position Long intake ports are used in the torque position. This leads to a high flow speed, extensive turbulence in the cylinder, very good fuel/air mixing andrapid combustion. In turn, this results in the development of high torque.

Output position Short intake ports with the largest possible crosssections are used in the output position. This results in high air throughput with good charging. In turn, this leads to high power output.

Cylinder block
The aluminium cylinder block has a 90 V angle and is manufactured from an aluminium alloy. The pistons run directly on the aluminium alloy's silicon crystals. As a result of this, no separate cylinder liners are required. The gap between cylinders is 90mm.

Crankshaft drive
Crankshaft
Supported at five points, the crankshaft is forged from tempered steel. Two connecting rods are located on each crank pin. Due to different gearboxes, the crankshaft fitted in the 4.2l V8 5V engine in the Phaeton has an 8-hole pattern, and that in the Touareg a 10-hole pattern, to the drive plate.

Connecting rods
The connecting rods are machined as complete parts and are finally separated by a tool, exerting great force, to form the connecting rod and connecting rod bearing cap. This process is called "cracking".

Pistons
The aluminium pistons are equipped with a valve pocket for the centre intake valve. Thanks to the valve pocket, the pistons are cylinder bank-specific.

Engine mechanical system


Cylinder head
The aluminium cylinder head has been developed as a cross-flow cylinder head. A good gas cycle and therefore a good cylinder charge are achieved as a result of this. The cylinder head houses the camshafts, the inlet camshaft drive and adjustment facility plus the valve gear with 5-valve technology.

Cylinder head cover


Decoupling element

The thin-walled cylinder head cover is manufactured from a die-cast magnesium alloy. Sealing between it and the cylinder head is achieved using rubber gaskets. As a result of this, there is no direct connection between the cylinder head cover and the cylinder head, and engine vibrations are not passed on to the cylinder head cover. The cylinder head cover is bolted using what are called decoupling elements.

Camshaft adjustment system


The gas exchange processes in the engine's combustion chamber exert a significant influence on output, torque and pollutant emission. The camshaft adjustment system allows these gas exchange processes to be adapted to the engine's relevant requirements. This is carried out by changing the valve opening and closing times, depending on the engine speed, with the aid of the inlet camshaft. In this case, the torque is increased in the lower to medium engine speed range, whilst output is raised in the upper engine speed range. Camshaft adjustment additionally improves internal exhaust gas recirculation. Adjustment equates to a crank angle of 22 in the "advance" direction.

Engine mechanical system


How it works:
Depending on the manner in which the camshaft adjustment valve is actuated, the oil is guided into two different control ports. The ports are linked to the chambers on both sides of the adjustment piston. Adjustment in the "retard" direction takes place via port A, whilst adjustment in the "advance" direction occurs via port B.

Basic position: From idle speed to approx. 1000 rpm Torque position: From approx. 1000 rpm to approx. 3600 rpm in the Touareg and approx. 5600 rpm in the Phaeton Output position: From approx. 3600 rpm in the Touareg and approx. 5600 rpm in the Phaeton

Basic position
Engine off No oil pressure is available when the engine is switched off. The spring-loaded locking pin is pressed into the adjustment piston's detent groove, locking it. Starting the engine When the engine is started, the oil pressure is not yet sufficient to press the locking pin out of the adjustment piston's detent groove.

Adjustment piston

The locking function and the oil reservoir chamber in the camshaft adjustment unit reduce vibrations in the chain drive. Noise during the starting phase is minimised as a result of this.

Engine running Once a specific oil pressure has been reached, the oil presses the locking pin - counter to the spring's force - out of the detent groove, and the inlet camshaft can be adjusted.

Torque position
The torque position is activated at an engine speed of between 1000 and 3600 rpm in the Touareg and 5600 rpm in the Phaeton. Via port B, the oil is conducted to the adjustment piston, pressing it into the torque position. In this position, inlet valve closing is advanced. This is advantageous, as the flow speed in the intake manifold is low in this engine speed range, and the fuel/air mixture follows the movement of the piston. Thanks to advanced inlet valve closing, the mixture can no longer be pushed back into the intake manifold by the cylinder.

Output position
As of an engine speed of approximately 3600 rpm in the Touareg and 5600 rpm in the Phaeton, the system switches to the output position (basic position). Via port A, the oil is conducted to the adjustment piston, pressing it into the output position. In this position, inlet valve closing is retarded. Thanks to the high flow speed at these high engine speeds, the fuel/air mixture continues to flow into the cylinder, although the piston is already moving up again.

The roller rocker fingers are mounted on an axle shaft. The axle shaft is used to simultaneously supply the bearings and the hydraulic valve clearance compensation elements with oil. - The hydraulic valve clearance compensation elements are located directly in the lever arm above the valves. - The rollers are each seated between the lever arms.

Minor alignment and component tolerances may occur between the inlet camshaft cams and the roller rocker finger rollers. To guarantee even pressure between the components, the inlet roller rocker finger axle shaft is of a convex design. This prevents the roller rocker fingers from canting.
