The VW/Audi 2.0 TDI CBB (specifically the CBBA/CBBB) is a high-output, 2.0-liter common-rail diesel engine that marked a turning point for Volkswagen Group’s diesel performance. As part of the EA189 family, the CBB replaced the older, noisier “PD” engines with a more refined, Bosch-controlled injection system, making it the premier choice for the group’s sportier diesel variants.
Type: 2.0L Inline 4-Cylinder, 16-Valve Diesel
Valvetrain: Double Overhead Cam (DOHC)
Induction: Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) with Intercooler
Fuel System: Bosch Common Rail Direct Injection (Piezo Injectors)
Power Output: Delivering a stout 125 kW (170 hp) at 4,200 rpm.
Torque: A powerful 350 Nm available from 1,750 to 2,500 rpm.
High-Output Tuning: The CBB is the “high-spec” version of the 2.0 TDI range. While standard TDIs focused on economy, the CBB was tuned for performance, offering a noticeably sharper throttle response and stronger top-end pull.
Common Rail Refinement: By moving away from Unit Injectors (Pump-Duse) to Common Rail, this engine achieved a massive reduction in vibration and engine noise, providing a premium driving experience.
Balance Shafts: Most CBB engines are equipped with balance shafts, which further smoothen the engine’s rotation, making it feel more like a petrol engine in terms of silkiness.
Efficiency: Despite its higher power output, it remains remarkably efficient, capable of maintaining low fuel consumption during steady highway cruising.
The CBB engine was reserved for “GT” and “S-Line” performance-oriented diesel models:
VW Golf Mk6 GTD (The most famous application).
VW Passat CC (2.0 TDI 170).
Audi A3 (8P) (2.0 TDI 170hp variants).
Audi TT (8J) (2.0 TDI Quattro).
Skoda Octavia RS (TDI).
R18500,00
