Hi all has anyone fitted a 1.9tdi atd engine to a T25? Ive just not heard this engine code mentioned before. Found in 99/2000 onwards audi a3 mk4 golf and skodas etc. Just want to be sure before I purchase.
Cheers all

Yes its been done but its a BIG job but does not suit the gearing at all.

Bigger job than other 1.9tdi's?

Yes much bigger job with not as good results due to gearing, a normal tdi have ok ish power at high revs but can be greatly improved with a mechaincal pump, PD tdi's simply hate revs but are fantastic at low revs which you will never achieve with any modifed t25 gearbox.

Thanks for info, Tdi with mechanical pump or tuned aaz then. One day I will make the decision. Im gonna check round vanfest and see if I can get some recomendations.

Tdi mechanical pump

what are the benefits of using a mechanical pump as oppose the the standard tdi system?

good points are:
Much better economy than electronic tdi
No wires all over the place
More upper rpm power

bad points are:
slightly noiser
no idle speed correction

Just been offered a Passat TDi engine (need to check code tomorrow). It's just the engine as far as I know. Is this suitable for a M-TDi conversion or do I need more from the actual Passat?

I'm soon to have a new gearbox built up by Aidan so ratios to suit can be done then.

Just a couple of questions before I take up the offer:

# How much is an M-TDi pump and who supplies them (Russell?) ?

# My van is a 1.6D and I have a running 1.6TD in another van.
What do I need from them and are there any additional parts that are worthwhile getting to do a tidier/more professional job (e.g. Simon's AAZ bits) ?

Thanks in advance.
