Design, development and variant notes

The EA827 originated with Audi and was used across many Volkswagen Group vehicles; in Brazil related engines were marketed as Volkswagen AP. Its family includes petrol and diesel derivatives with 88 mm cylinder spacing.

The later EA113 development eliminated the EA827's intermediate shaft and adopted other changes including a cross-flow head and distributorless ignition. These describe the family transition, not every component of every variant.

Additional technical and variant notes

The 1,715 cc EA827 derivative is described in the Iltis and in North American Volkswagen and Audi applications; it was also used in the Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon. Wikipedia lists 47–56 kW for the Chrysler applications.

The article identifies the 1.9-litre EA827 version by engine code SD. The ratings and applications below are from distinct 1.6- and 1.8-litre tables and should not be treated as interchangeable.
