Title: vw tdi 90/110/130 engines
Post by: Grim_Reaper on 16 June 2009, 23:57
hai guys...just wanted to ask about these engines...i know the golf mk3 came with the tdi 90 engine, and the later VW's came with the 110/130 engines...just wanted to ask what the main differences are on these engines...are the blocks the same on these???

im curious about fitting a tdi lump in my mk3 but might be worth while fitting a more powerful one ;)

I think the main differences are turbos and ecu's

I think to get a 110 or 130 working would be simple enough, the later PD units are a lot harder.

PD would be a bit of a headache, major loomage but not impossible. Ive seen a few MK2 pd 130's . Remapped to 170 too.

Much smoother than the older derv engines too. Get it done.

Some guy on ed38 put a 130pd lump in a mk3, I think that was also remapped.

thanks for the gen guys...i was thinking that the newer pd lumps would be harder to do with all the sensors etc etc...ill be happy with a td130 if it will go in without too much messing around with the wires...i hate wires :(

jay, thats exactly why i want a TD lump, ive got just the D lump right now, still nippy enough and super super economical (done my volvo's full tank milage in a tenner LOL)

Some guy on ed38 put a 130pd lump in a mk3, I think that was also remapped.

ill have a nosey on that then :D

It was a irish guy and the car was Audi TT Grey, the 110 or 130 would be easier to fit.

No it was a mk3 but painted Audi TT grey, your best bet for a 110 is Seat or Skoda.

I think the difference between the 2 is turbo and ecu.

lot more differences than just that - the 110 engine is a NON PD - most of the bits from a 130 PD engine will not fit

There are a lot of things stated in this thread which aren't exactly true. People have done a 110-->130 conversion on UKMKIVS but from memory you need ECU injectors, turbo, manifolds and so on.
