In this segment of the video, the focus is on marine engines, specifically the SDI brand name derived from suction diesel injection. SDI engines have indirect injection and are less efficient compared to the SD engines. SDI engines were produced in inline configurations with various displacements ranging from 1.7 to 2.5 liters. These engines prioritize fuel economy and reliability over power output when compared to turbocharged engines. The 2.0 SDI engine in the Mk5 Golf produces 75 horsepower in SDI form but up to 170 horsepower in the turbocharged diesel injection form. Moving to the next engine, the 1.8 liter TSI engine, coded EA888, is highly regarded for its reliability and durability, with some reaching up to 200,000 miles. The engine features a gray cast iron cylinder block and crankcase for strength and ghost acoustic dampening properties. However, the second generation EA888 engine is known to consume oil.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on the 2006 engine regarded as one of the best produced by the company. This engine was exclusive to cars, had a displacement of 1.9 liters with four cylinders in line. These engines were known for their variability and fuel economy. They were later replaced by pom-pedusa engines in 2005 but faced reliability issues. Upgrades in 2008 included a common rail fuel system. These engines were part of the Volkswagen emission cheating scandal. Specs include being timing belt-driven, single overhead cam, and eight-valve inline ford. They used a simple injection system with mechanical injectors and a Bosch rotary electronic injection pump. These engines were commonly found in Volkswagen models but could also be used in tanks due to their durability. Accessories for mounting on a Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Bora, and Skoda Octavia were shown in clips toward the end of the video.
