Engine concept with "inner hot side"
The exhaust turbocharger and the exhaust gas recirculation system
are integrated in the inner V of the engine. This compact layout
follows a strict multi-level architecture which, thanks to a twinscroll exhaust manifold system, allows short gas flow paths and
close-coupling of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system. This
concept, with a "hot side" in the inner V, provides the basis for
meeting fuel economy and emission targets. The exhaust gas
recirculation system is located on the lowest level of the inner V.
The EGR cooler with U-shaped throughflow, pneumatic EGR bypass
valve and electric controlled EGR valve (exhaust gas recirculation
valve GX5) has been optimised for minimal pressure loss.

Engine block
Engine block GJV450 is a completely redesigned sand-core package
casting. The positioning of the "hot side" in the inner V and the
separate head-block cooling system have to a large extent defined
the geometry of the engine block.
The engine block has been designed with a systematic focus on
reducing wall thickness The complex part of the media supply
system to the oil/coolant heat exchangers is now separate from
the engine block and integrated in a lightweight aluminium transfer plate.
The split head block cooling configuration allows the coolant to
stand inside the engine block at cold start, which results in ever
faster warming up thanks to the low volume of the water jacket.
The cylinder liners are plate-honed to attain an optimal cylinder
shape during engine operation. This process is a basic requirement
for reliable functioning of the piston rings with a low preload and
is a key factor contributing to an optimal friction balance.
Oil filter integrated
in the oil pan
Pistons
For reasons of friction and strength, the aluminium pistons with
salt-core cooling port are designed as sleeve pistons with a DLC1)coated gudgeon pin. After casting and premachining, the highly
stressed bowl rim is re-melted by means of laser energy to produce
the finest and strongest possible aluminium microstructure.
The piston ring assembly was designed with a special emphasis on
reduced friction. For example, lower piston ring preloads and
piston ring heights are used. A combined system of PVD (physical
vapour deposition) and DLC1) layers provides the required wear
resistance of the first ring (control ring).

Timing gear
The layout for the new V8 TDI engine has been taken from the V6
TDI engine family. The timing drive is, therefore, located on the
flywheel side. To meet the high dynamic requirements of the
high-pressure pump during use of the 2500 bar injection system,
the chain drive for the high-pressure fuel pump is configured as a
torsionally rigid twin-shaft drive which eliminates resonance and
high chain forces across the entire rev band.
In this engine the oil/vacuum tandem pump flange-mounted to
the oil pan is driven directly from the front end of the crankshaft
via a separate chain track.

Camshaft drive
An intermediate gear mounted in the cylinder head provides a 2:1
ratio without the need for large camshaft sprockets. Taking this
intermediate gear as the starting point, camshaft drive is provided
by a downstream double gear-wheel stage with each gear wheel
having backlash compensation for acoustic reasons. To minimise
friction in these additional bearing points, the intermediate gear
mounting takes the form of a needle bearing. To provide greater
robustness in terms of oil quality and different oil viscosities, the
Audi V configuration diesel engines exclusively use bush chains
with chrome-plated pins.

Backlash is compensated by the omega spring, which engages the

When the camshaft gear is installed, it is relieved of stress by an
excentric bolt and engages the drive wheel with a degree of play.
On completion of assembly, the excentric bolt is removed. The
spring force rotates the two gears towards each other, and the
gear runs without backlash in the drive sprocket.

Cylinder head
The high demands imposed on the cylinder head in terms of power
output and maximum cylinder pressure have been met by means of
an axle-parallel, symmetrical valve star and a two-part water
jacket.
In order to eliminate micro-notching effects in high-stress zones,
the coolant jacket and the intake ducts have been optimised with
respect to their parting burr characteristics. The objective was to
eliminate mould parting burrs from highly stressed areas and to
allow these areas to be deburred reliably and automatically.
The structural design of the cylinder head has been adapted to the
engine concept with the "hot side" of the cylinder head located in
the inner V. In conjunction with other structural improvements,
this makes both cylinder heads about 7.0 kg lighter than in the
predecessor engine.

Upper coolant jacket
Thanks to very fast flow rates, the lower water jacket ensures
intensive cooling of the combustion chamber plate and the highly
stressed valve webs. Despite the gain in performance, web temperatures have been reduced by as much as 30° C compared to the
predecessor engine with a single-part water jacket.
In the upper water jacket requiring less cooling, slow flow rates
prevail in order to minimise the water-side pressure losses.
Lower coolant jacket
652_031
Vent duct
If leaks occur in the area of the injector ring seal, a vent duct
allows the combustion pressure to escape. This duct is integrated
in the cylinder head above the intake module.
It prevents excess pressure from the combustion chamber escaping via the crankcase ventilation system to the compressor side of
the turbocharger and causing the turbocharger to malfunction, or
damaging the ring seals or blowing them out of the crankcase.

Audi valvelift system (AVS)
The Audi valvelift system (AVS) is the core element of the multistage turbocharging system. The system had been used previously
in the petrol engines of the VW Group and has been improved to
meet the general operating requirements of the diesel engine.
Due to the position of the injectors and the alignment of the valves
perpendicular to the combustion chamber plate, the basic shaft of
the AVS is mounted between the individual cylinders. The basic
shaft has a spline which accommodates the individual, axially
displaceable cam elements. The pins of the electromagnetic
actuator (cam adjuster) engage the gate of the cam element and
move it axially between the two cam shift positions. Two different
cam contours are used on the intake side to vary event duration
with the aim of maximising drive-way performance while generating the required power output by means of long valve opening
times, short valve timings for drive-away performance (opening
angle of 160 crank angle degrees) and long valve timings for
power (opening angle of 185 crank angle degrees).
Thanks to variable intake valve timing, it has been possible to
achieve an optimised intake valve lift curve which provides good
response at low engine speeds and volumetric efficiency at high
engine speeds. This combination, together with leakage-free
switch-over between the two exhaust turbochargers and variable
exhaust valve timing, results in significantly better spontaneity.

Crankcase ventilation system
The 4.0l V8 TDI engine is equipped with an efficient crankcase
ventilation system consisting of a crankcase breather module and
blow-by gas ducts leading into the cylinder head covers.
The blow-by gases rising up out of the crankcase are collected at
the centre of the cylinder head covers and ducted through the
coarse oil separator. This separator consists of multiple ascending
steps (settling chambers) which are responsible for initial separation of the oil and air in the blow-by gases. The blow-by gases
subsequently reach the fine oil separators, of which there is one in
the left cylinder head cover and two in the crankcase breather
module. The blow-by gases are ducted through a labyrinth into the
two fine oil separators with swirls, which are installed horizontally
and vertically in an enclosed housing. The remaining oil residues
are thereby separated.
The separated oil flows along several discharge ducts and into the
oil pan above the oil level. The oil-free blow-by gases flow through
the pressure control valve to the intake end of the active turbocharger and are admitted into the combustion chamber.

Oil pump
The oil circuit uses the fully variable oil pump of the V6 TDI engine,
which has been adapted to the oil demand of the V8 TDI engine.
The vane pump, continuously controlled by way of an eccentric
ring, permits optimum adaptation of the pressure/volume flow
depending on engine load and speed. Additionally, the throughput
of the piston jets can be influenced, or shut off, by way of the
pressure map in order to optimise friction.

Oil cooling
To allow the oil to heat up oil quickly after a cold start, volumetric
flow to the oil/coolant heat exchangers takes place on the coolant
side. There is no coolant flow through the oil/coolant heat
exchangers during the cold start phase and at low engine loads. It
is not until a certain, evelated oil temperature is reached that
coolant flow through the oil/coolant heat exchangers is enabled by
switching the oil cooler valve.

Exhaust gas recirculation
Overview
In a combustion process involving surplus air, unwanted nitrogen
oxides form at high combustion chamber temperatures in any
internal combustion engine. The formation of nitrogen oxides can,
to a large extent, be avoided by recirculating the exhaust gases.
The exhaust gas recirculation system directs a portion of the
Exhaust gas extraction point
on active turbocharger
exhaust gases back into the combustion chambers. This reduces
the amount of fresh, oxygen-rich air in the exhaust gases thereby
inhibiting the chemical reactions within the combustion chamber.
The resultant reduction in combustion temperatures in turn means
significantly lower NOx emissions.

EGR cooler
Coolant flow
Due to the gas flow configuration in the EGR cooler, double the
distance of the EGR cooler is utilised. The exhaust gases from the
exhaust manifolds flow in a U shape from the bottom to the top
section of the exhaust gas recirculation cooler. The gases flow
through the coolant tubes and dissipate their heat to the coolant.
To enlarge the cooling surface area, the gas-carrying pipes are
embossed. The cooled coolant flows into the EGR cooler at the hot
exhaust gas inlet. This results in so-called "continuous flow
cooling" at the bottom end of the EGR cooler and "counterflow
cooling" at the top end of the EGR cooler.

A key feature of the external exhaust cooling system is that the
exhaust gases on the exhaust side of the engine are extracted from
the exhaust manifold and returned to the combustion process.
When the engine is cold, the hot exhaust gases are channelled
directly into the charge air system via the bypass duct. This ensures
rapid heating of the oxidising catalytic converter and of the engine.
To reduce nitrogen oxide emissions still further, the exhaust gases
are additionally cooled via the liquid-controlled exhaust gas recirculation cooler. The EGR bypass valve, activated by the EGR cooling
bypass valve N386, opens the inlet to the EGR cooler. The exhaust
gases are now channelled through the cooled pipes and dissipate
their heat to the coolant. This allows the combustion chamber
temperature to be reduced thereby ensuring lower NOx levels in the
exhaust gases.

Coolant module
The innovative thermal management concept permits autonomous
supply to the interior and gearbox oil heating, the EGR cooler and
the exhaust turbocharger via the cylinder head circuit, regardless
of the coolant standing in the engine block.
Coolant flows through the engine block and cylinder heads in two
parallel cooling circuits. The coolant flow for both circuits runs
from the hot inner V intake across the engine block or cylinder
head to the cold outer side.
The water pump located in the inner V now has a covered impeller
with three-dimensionally curved blades, and continuously supplies
the two sub-circuits. The coolant pump is driven by a drive shaft
integrated in the timing gear via a sprocket.
The coolant module, in which key functional components of the
coolant circuit are integrated, is installed at the front end of the
engine. The volute casing of the coolant pump forms the coolant
module. The map-controlled thermostat with rotary slide valve and
electrically heated wax expansion element for switching the large
cooling circuit is flange-mounted to the coolant module on the
supply side. Also integrated in the coolant module are the head
block control valve, activated by the pressure reducing valve N155,
and the oil cooler bypass valve, activated by the EGR cooling
bypass valve 2 N387 in a pulse width modulated fashion using
vacuum.

Map-controlled thermostat with rotary slide valve and electrically heated wax expansion element
The temperature level of the cylinder head cooling circuit is controlled via a mapped thermostat with a heated wax expansion
element. The thermostat is de-energised during the warm-up
phase and opens at 90 °C. Thus, no thermal energy is dissipated to
the main radiator in order to achieve this temperature. Hot coolant
is provided for heating the ATF oil and for heating as necessary.
The temperature level of the cylinder head cooling circuit can be
reduced – within the physical bounds of the radiator – by energising the map-controlled engine cooling thermostat.

The wax expansion element is a pressure-resistant cell filled with a
wax-like expanding material. An integrated heater melts the
expanding material in the wax expansion element, causing the
volume of the latter to increase significantly. As a result, the
control piston pushes outwards and the sliding element moves
against the pressure of the spring. The sliding element connected
to the rotary slide valve is now guided along a guide rail. The linear
movement of the sliding element is translated to a rotational
movement of the rotary slide valve at a deflection point. This
causes the rotary slide valve to open or close. The expanding
material contracts when it cools down again and the spring-loaded
control piston closes the rotary slide valve.
