vw tdi 90/110/130 engines

[Grim_Reaper]

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

so bolting wise i wouldnt really have a problem...awesome in that case...

next question....wiring??? pig of a job or do able for a person who hates wires???

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

VW = Lego  Mostly.

Good to see another going derv power    You can get quite a lot out of them for less money than a 'gasser'

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)

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