- Suction Diesel Injection
Suction Diesel Injection (SDI) [ [http://www.sgpetch.co.uk/pages/motability/abbreviations SDi Meaning] ] is a design of
naturally aspirated diesel engine developed and produced by theVolkswagen Group for use incars ,vans ,sailboats and a variety of industrial applications. These engines are produced in various sizes (from 1.7 to 2.5 litres) and states of tune, depending on application.The SDI engine is used in applications where
reliability andfuel economy are of primary concern. Because these engines lack any form offorced induction , their power output is low compared to a similarturbocharged engine. For example, the 2.0 SDI engine fitted to theVolkswagen Golf Mk5 has a peak power output of 74 bhp; whereas the same engine in turbocharged TDI form is rated at 138 or convert|168|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on, depending on specification. However, performance at very low engine speeds and when setting off from stationary is often superior to forced induction engines due to the lack ofturbo lag .

Škoda Octavia , is particularly popular amongst taxi drivers due to its low fuel consumption and ability to cover large mileages (250,000+ miles) without requiring major mechanical attention.Table of SDI engines and applications
