engines

for a bloke at work who recon our engine is different. what other car is our 1.8 20v turbo engine in please. the dont believe me that our engine is the same as the 1.8 t out of a golf.

Was looking at getting the Oval exhaust trim fitted to the Altea, just to finish off the rear instead the standard round boring pipe. Upon further investigation, the trim is not available/suitable for the BXE engines. WHY ???????

Dont know if you ibiza PD130/160 boys have seen this yet, but the lovely people at Jabbasport have developed this: Its a uprated dogbone mount.. originally for the Fabia vRS, but will fit the TDI Ibizas too.. the standard part can wear and add a little bit too much driveline "shunt" - ive...

I assume there are bigger injectors and bigger turbo, but I keep being told that the engine mapping is different. Am I correct in saying that the 140bhp now come with a DPF as well? I know remapping has been covered many times before. But my car is just about to turn 10,000miles, and you...

Excuse the stupidity here but i was wondering if there is any difference in the 2 engines? I've been looking for stuff like induction kits for the cupra but dont know if the stuff for the FR will fit the cupra. thanks in advance, Rab.

Since the Golf Mk5 is basically the same layout engine as the leon can would an engine cover like the one in the pic fit the engine? VW Golf Engine TDI 140 http://www.drivingschoolireland.com/image/engine_tdi.jpg Seat Leon TDI 140 http://uploads.simplyrc.com/tdi_140bhp.jpg Maybe this...

A long way off yet, but I'm starting to plant the seeds in my mind of what car to get after the Passat. Was wondering what are the differences between the 1.9 PDs and 2.0 units, specifically: 1) Do they use the same clutch (ie do the 2.0 clutches have the same kind of torque limits as...

Looking to get a new engine as mine is very noisy especially at startup with what sounds like piston slap :cry: not really an engine write off but just embarrasin and annoying! The shell is perfect and instead of selling it on and losing the money cos of the problem i thought spend that...

Guys once again your advise is so good and helpful i require it again. After speaking to the guys at AMD they inform me not to fit any type of aftermarket filter as the oil on them messis up the map sensor therefore running probs occur. Can you guys please shed some light on this matter as i was...

Have noticed some variations regarding the new 2.00 170 pd is this just wishfull thinking or are there ACTUAL configuration changes for AUDI, Seat and VW - it seem to go from 168 to 175 bhp - any idea's???

my brothers ibiza has had problems on and off for 6 months now last night it wouldn't start so took it to dealer tinking it was coilpacks as when it did start it was running really rough it is 2002 52 reg spoke to dealer today it is the timing belt come off knackered all the valves the...

Chaps, Myself and "Feel" have had a problem, both at about 60k miles where the main Turbo outlet pipe has failed. In my case little boost pressure was lost but I got a strong smell of oil when stopping and idleing. It was irregular enough for me to always assume It was coming from the car...

I am currently looking to put a 1.8 20V Turbo in a non VAG car as such :p Anyway I was on the look out for a decent priced 225 engine out of the TT but have come across a Ibiza Cupra full engine for sale and am wondering whether it is worth buying this and having the IHI conversion plus 6...

Tempting...CLICKY They do a 2-tank self-installation kit for the Ibiza PD 130 (and lots of others too). Price is quoted at €870 euro, which seems to include 16% German VAT, and P&P. That's just under £600. :think: Wonder how much I can get hold of veggy oil for (in decent...

First of all I'd like to say that I'm a Vag enthusiast and most of all a TDI enthusiast. Guess anyone of you has noticed the new diesel engines. Amog the others, -the Fiat M-Jet 1.9 140 & 150 hp (yes vw has done the 150 1.9 years before but here we're talking 'bout a 16 valve engine with...

Checked the site out a bit more, good to see so many helpful and informed answers to technical questions. I have had my Ibiza 20vt for a few months and have been looking at engines mods. Spent an afternoon at RSD and drove their 210bhp Ibiza, came away impressed. What I want to know is if I get...
