APG 1.8

The APG 1.8 is built around the APG, a 1.8L Inline-4 petrol engine with a DOHC, 20-valve cylinder head, running without forced induction. Naturally aspirated 1.8 five-valve VW/Audi four. This unit is supplied by Tovesageneral Motors as a tested, ready-to-fit replacement for workshops and owners who need genuine factory characteristics rather than a generic substitute, and every engine is pulled from a running donor vehicle rather than sourced blind from an unknown history. Choosing a like-for-like APG over a cheaper mismatched substitute avoids the wiring, mounting and ECU-calibration headaches that come with swapping in a different engine family.

Key Specifications: Configuration - Inline-4, 1.8L displacement. Valvetrain - DOHC, 20-valve. Fuel System - Petrol injection. Aspiration - Naturally Aspirated. Power Output - approximately 125 hp (93 kW). Torque - 173 Nm. These figures reflect the factory-rated output for the APG in its most common calibration; individual market tunes, transmission pairing and emissions equipment can shift the exact number slightly from one production year to the next, so always cross-check against the specific model year of your vehicle.

Performance Highlights: Naturally aspirated 1.8 five-valve VW/Audi four. Expect the typical driving character of a naturally aspirated petrol inline-4: predictable, linear throttle response that builds smoothly with revs, backed by fewer high-pressure components to maintain over the engine's life than a forced-induction equivalent. As with any used engine, we recommend a full service history review along with a compression/leak-down check before installation, plus a visual inspection of the timing components, seals, mounts, and ancillaries (alternator, water pump, turbocharger where fitted) prior to fitment.

Common Applications: The APG was factory-fitted to VW/Audi models. If you are sourcing this engine for a different chassis, confirm the exact engine code stamped on the block and the wiring/ECU variant before ordering, since several body styles shared this family across multiple model years and markets. Our team can help verify fitment against your VIN before dispatch so the engine you receive matches your loom, mounts and transmission bellhousing pattern.
