The SEAT Inca ( Typ 9K) was a van and panel van produced by the Spanish manufacturer SEAT between 1996 and 2004. It was designed and assembled in Spain, based on the SEAT Ibiza Mark 2. It was first shown at the Barcelona Motor Show of 1995.
11-731: The SEAT Inca had two rear wing doors which, because they were non symmetrical, were supposed to facilitate loading and unloading. Capable of carrying a payload of 550 kg (1,213 lb) and towing a 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) braked trailer the Inca proved to be a strong work horse in many markets. The Inca was awarded the Comercial do Ano ("Commercial vehicle of the Year") award in Portugal in 1997. The Inca came with 1.4 60 PS (44 kW) and 1.6 75 PS (55 kW) petrol engines , and
22-485: A magneto or an ignition coil . In modern car engines, the ignition timing is managed by an electronic Engine Control Unit . Ignition modules can also function as a rev limiter in some cases to prevent overrevving and the consequences of it, such as valve float and connecting rod failure. Primers may be used to help start the engine. They can draw fuel from fuel tanks and vaporize fuel directly into piston cylinders. Engines are difficult to start during cold weather, and
33-435: A type of engine used to start a larger, stationary diesel engine. Spark ignition A spark-ignition engine ( SI engine ) is an internal combustion engine , generally a petrol engine , where the combustion process of the air-fuel mixture is ignited by a spark from a spark plug . This is in contrast to compression-ignition engines , typically diesel engines , where the heat generated from compression together with
44-500: Is that petrol engines typically have a lower compression ratio . The first practical petrol engine was built in 1876 in Germany by Nicolaus August Otto and Eugen Langen , although there had been earlier attempts by Étienne Lenoir in 1860, Siegfried Marcus in 1864 and George Brayton in 1873. Most petrol engines use either the four-stroke Otto cycle or the two-stroke cycle . Petrol engines have also been produced using
55-466: The Miller cycle and Atkinson cycle . Most petrol-powered piston engines are straight engines or V engines . However, flat engines , W engines and other layouts are sometimes used. Wankel engines are classified by the number of rotors used. Petrol engines are either air-cooled or water-cooled . Petrol engines use spark ignition . High voltage for the spark this may be provided by
66-975: The Caddy and the Inca continued to be produced at the same manufacturing facilities, until the Inca was discontinued in June 2004. The Inca name was then dropped from the line up of SEAT, but the Caddy was replaced with a new variant based on the platform of the Volkswagen Golf V . Petrol engine A petrol engine ( gasoline engine in American and Canadian English) is an internal combustion engine designed to run on petrol ( gasoline ). Petrol engines can often be adapted to also run on fuels such as liquefied petroleum gas and ethanol blends (such as E10 and E85 ). Most petrol engines use spark ignition , unlike diesel engines which typically use compression ignition. Another key difference to diesel engines
77-642: The fuel primer helps because otherwise there will not be enough heat available to vaporize the fuel in the carburetor . The power output of small- and medium-sized petrol engines (along with equivalent engines using other fuels) is usually measured in kilowatts or horsepower . Typically, petrol engines have a thermodynamic efficiency of about 20-30% (approximately half that of some diesel engines). Applications of petrol engines include automobiles , motorcycles , aircraft , motorboats and small engines (such as lawn mowers, chainsaws and portable generators). Petrol engines have also been used as "pony engines",
88-514: The indirect injection engine was also available from 1999 onwards. From its launch in 1997 until end of production in 2004, more than 115,000 SEAT Inca cars were produced and sold. The annual production of SEAT Inca delivery/panel van (without side windows) and Kombi (with side windows and removable seats that could be used for cargo or passengers) manufactured at SEAT Martorell are shown below. SEAT facilities only; corrected 7/11/2018 from cited Volkswagen and SEAT annual reports of 1997: The SEAT Inca
99-771: The injection of fuel is enough to initiate the combustion process, without needing any external spark. Spark-ignition engines are commonly referred to as "gasoline engines" in North America, and "petrol engines" in Britain and the rest of the world. Spark-ignition engines can (and increasingly are) run on fuels other than petrol/gasoline , such as autogas ( LPG ), methanol , ethanol , bioethanol , compressed natural gas (CNG), hydrogen , and (in drag racing) nitromethane . The working cycle of both spark-ignition and compression-ignition engines may be either two-stroke or four-stroke . A four-stroke spark-ignition engine
110-413: Was also available with the tried and tested 64 PS (47 kW) 1.9-liter (1896cc) indirect injection diesel engine from the Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Polo, or a 90 PS (66 kW) Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel in certain countries. A 64 PS (47 kW) 1.9-liter Suction Diesel Injection (SDI) direct injection diesel with electronic control and improved economy over
121-580: Was rebadged by SEAT's parent company Volkswagen and sold under the name Volkswagen Caddy ( Typ 9K). Its badge-engineered Volkswagen stablemate was identical in every respect apart from some (easily interchangeable) branding logos, and the front grille. In the beginning of the 2000s, the Volkswagen Group had decided to shift the marketing focus of the SEAT brand to target the younger driver with an emphasis on more sporty models. Despite this move,
