Design, development and variant notes
The source describes EA288 as a modular diesel family related to EA189, with three-cylinder 1.4-litre and four-cylinder 1.6- and 2.0-litre designs. It describes dual EGR paths and common-rail injection as part of the family design.
After-treatment varies by application: the article describes NOx storage systems and urea-based SCR in different vehicles. Check the individual engine code and emissions specification.
Additional mechanical and system details
The source may discuss several variants in each section. These are reported components and systems, not a guarantee that every item applies to every code.
