The first TDI engine, a straight-five engine, was produced for the 1989 Audi 100 TDI sedan. In 1999, common rail fuel injection was introduced in the V8 engine used by the Audi A8 3.3 TDI Quattro. From 2006 until 2014, Audi successfully competed in the [[Le Mans Prototype|LMP1]] category of motor racing using TDI engine-powered racing cars.
TDI engines installed in 2009 to 2015 model year Volkswagen Group cars sold through 18 September 2015 had an emissions [[defeat device]],<ref name="epa1"/><ref name="epa2"/> which activated emissions controls only during emissions testing. The emissions controls were suppressed otherwise, allowing the TDI engines to exceed legal limits on emissions.<ref name="nyt1"/> Volkswagen has admitted to using the illegal device in its TDI diesel cars.<ref name="nyt2"/>
==Overview==
TDI is the combination of two existing diesel engine technologies:
* [[fuel injection#Direct injection systems|Direct injection]]— where a fuel injector sprays the diesel fuel directly into the main [[combustion chamber]]s. This causes a more complete combustion process than using a pre-combustion chamber (known as [[indirect injection]]), which therefore increases the torque output and reduces the exhaust emissions.<ref name=VW-UK-TDI/><ref name=VWAG/>
* [[Turbodiesel|Turbocharging]]— where an exhaust-driven turbine compresses the intake air, functioning as an energy rectification device in order to obtain a higher [[thermal efficiency]] and increase power and torque outputs while lowering fuel consumption per kilowatt and carbon emissions, also as an airpump it technically enables increasing combustion volume of a small [[engine displacement|displacement]] engine, however this is only of worth to racing and military applications seeking to maximize nominal power output with out benefit of, or taking into consideration fuel consumption or thermal efficiency.<ref name=VW-UK-TDI/><ref name=VWAG/>
Most TDI engines also use an [[intercooler]] to lower the temperature (and therefore increase the density) of the compressed air before it enters the cylinder.<ref name=VW-UK-TDI/><ref>{{cite web |title=Turbo Diésel Inyección Directa, cómo funcionan |url=http://www.ro-des.com/mecanica/motores-tdi/ |website=www.ro-des.com |access-date=29 October 2019 |language=es}}</ref> Similar technology has been used by other automotive companies, but the "TDI" marketing term is only used by Volkswagen Group and [[Land Rover]]. Volkswagen Group uses the term [[SDI (engine)|SDI]] (which stands for "Suction Diesel Injection") for its [[naturally aspirated]] (i.e. non-turbocharged) direct-injection diesel engines. ==History==

Prior to Volkswagen Group's first TDI engine, the first turbocharged diesel engine used in a passenger car was an [[indirect injection]] five-cylinder engine fitted to the 1978 [[Mercedes-Benz W116|Mercedes-Benz 300SD (W116)]] ''300 SD'' sedan.<ref>{{cite web |title=300 SD |url=https://mercedes-benz-publicarchive.com/marsClassic/instance/ko/ko.xhtml?oid=4865 |website=www.mercedes-benz-publicarchive.com |access-date=27 October 2019 |language=en}}</ref> The first turbodiesel engine with direct injection was the 1986 [[Fiat Croma#Engines|Fiat Croma 2.0 TD i.d.]] liftback sedan.<ref name="fiat.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.fiat.com/com/air-technologies|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130108154551/http://www.fiat.com/com/air-technologies|url-status=dead|archive-date=2013-01-08|title=Air technologies - Heritage|access-date=2013-01-17|work=fiat.com}}</ref>
Three years after the Fiat Croma, Volkswagen Group's first TDI engine was introduced in the 1989 [[Audi 100#Audi 100, 200 and 5000 (C3, 1982–1991)|Audi 100]] TDI sedan.<ref>{{cite web |title=8 Cars That Tell the History of Diesel in the U.S. |url=https://www.motorbiscuit.com/8-cars-that-tell-the-history-of-diesel-in-the-u-s/ |website=www.MotorBiscuit.com |access-date=27 October 2019 |date=13 April 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=History |url=https://www.audi-mediacenter.com/en/audi-at-a-glance-3757/history-3766 |website=www.audi-mediacenter.com |access-date=27 October 2019 |language=en}}</ref> The Audi 100 was powered by the [[list of Volkswagen Group diesel engines#2.5R5TDI|Volkswagen 2.5 R5 TDI]] straight-five engine which used an electronic distributor [[injection pump]] (called "VerteilerPumpe" by Volkswagen) and two-stage direct injection.
