Skoda cars of the Octavia range are alternatively equipped with engines manufactured by the VW concern (Volkswagen). The following engines are installed on the Octavia:
- AEE 1.6–55 kW petrol;
- AGN 1.8–92 kW petrol;
- AGR 1.9 TDI - 66 kW diesel.
These engines will be described in the following chapters. We are talking mainly about in-line four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled, with gas distribution mechanism ONS (or 2 x ONS - engine 1.8–92 kW), with automatic valve clearance limitation and with a crankshaft mounted in five cast iron bearings. The engines are located in front of the transport device, across, in front of the front suspension. These gasoline engines have injectors and an electronically controlled ignition system, the exhaust is cleaned in an exhaust gas catalyst. Diesel engines also have electronic fuel injection control and an oxidizing exhaust catalyst. Most engines are manufactured in several equipment options. For completeness, it should be added that some types of engines are supplied to Skoda fully equipped (AGN 1.8–92 kW), others, e.g. AEE 1.6-55 kW as incomplete motors (Rumpfmotor). These sub kits consist of a block motor assembly with a crank mechanism (crankshaft, connecting rods and pistons assy), with assembled cylinder head with cover and crankcase. At the factory "Skoda - AO Automobile Plant" these engines are completed with parts, some of which are manufactured at the factory, and some are supplied by specialized suppliers. The AGR 1.9 TDI-66 kW engines are still supplied as a whole, but they will also be gradually transferred to subsets and assembled in Mlada Bolislav.
Engine 1.6-55 kW (AEE)
One of the engines installed on Skoda cars of the Octavia type range is the 1.6 MP1 engine (Multi Point Injektion) with a power of 55 kW. It is a liquid-cooled, in-line, four-stroke, four-cylinder gasoline engine with ONS gas distribution mechanism and two valves per cylinder. The engine is located in the car in front, across in front of the front suspension with a slope of 15 forward. The ratio stroke/piston diameter = 1.14 has a positive effect on torque even at low speeds. An aluminum alloy cylinder head is mounted on the cast iron block. The fuel and ignition systems from Magneti Marelli are controlled by an electronic unit.
The engine is manufactured in two versions:
- main execution;
- with equipment for the installation of air conditioning.
Each option uses a different accessory carrier.
Information about the types of alternators, their power, as well as the types of engine starters are given in the relevant chapters.
The alternator belt pulley is driven by the external crankshaft pulley (with radial grooves) multi-ribbed belt.
In both versions, both with and without air conditioning, there is a tension roller, the clamping force of which is set automatically - the spring acts constantly. The difference between the version with and without air conditioning is in the belt route (see fig. Multi-ribbed motor belt route 1.6–55 kW (AEE)).
