Volkswagen engineers redesigned a large number of the base engine components to improve acoustics, fuel consumption, and exhaust gas emissions. Because diesels operate at higher temperatures than gasoline engines, NO x formation has always been an issue for diesels. Volkswagen planned to use both. Earlier post.)
