Engine - TDV6 3.0L Diesel (G1898610): Overview: Notes

The TDV6 3.0L diesel engine is a V6 configuration unit with 2 banks of 3 cylinders arranged at 60° to each other. There are 4 valves per cylinder, which are operated by 2 overhead camshafts in each cylinder bank.

The cylinder block is cast in compacted graphite iron. This provides reduced weight and length with superior structural capabilities. An aluminum oil pan is bolted to the underside of the cylinder block which provides a lightweight, compact and very stiff bottom end of the engine.

The cylinder heads are cast aluminum with a plastic camshaft cover with an integral air intake. The exhaust manifolds are cast from an iron alloy. A plastic acoustic cover is installed over the upper engine to absorb engine generated noise.

A low compression ratio of 16.1:1 contributes to improved emissions quality, quieter combustion and compatibility with the engine's unique forced induction system.

The low compression ratio means reduced heat build-up in the piston bowl, efficient fuel burn and reduced levels of pollutants. It also assists with cold starting allowing a faster cranking speed.

The engine meets EU6 emission regulations that include Europe and Rest of World (ROW). The engine meets Tier 3, Bin 160 LDT emission regulations in North American Specification (NAS) markets or LEV III, LEV 160 LDT emission regulations in California.

Various engine systems are located on the engine assembly and driven directly and indirectly by the engine operation.
