Is 07reg 2.0tdi 16v FR Common rail

[jibba_128]

ive just bought a seat leon 07reg 2.0tdi 16v FR


this isent a common rail lump is it? i cant find any remapping for it, it only seems to be for the CR one :/

im such a dumbarse i thought i had a great bargain, 10,000 for it with 30,000 on the clock but its the old PD loud engine is it not? i have test drove it but was more interested in the power and didnt think to listen to it at idle etc

should be the PD 170 lump!
sure revo and custom code do a map for it!

is this still a reliable engine or not so much? ive only had a quick test drive, is it still nice
and torquey etc? is it much noisier?

thanks

Will be the PD170 engine - sure its fine, DPF issues have been reported but not if you do good distances in the car or drive it hard!

You can get remaps from most of the usual suppliers for this engine

Yeh Danny's right REVO dont offer PD170 Mapping


Custom Code,P-Torque and Shark Performance offer DPF Delete packages

Superchips offer a Remap

CR140 and CR170 only came about in the Leon in mid 2010 didn't it?

 

[AndrewJB]

Nope PD140 and PD170 been around since 2005


CR140 and CR170 have been out since 2009ish but CR Block has been used in WTCC and BTCC for a few years before that

 

[tehguy]

Sorry I meant CR - updated my post now. When we ordered our CR105 mid last year, our dealer was only getting information about the 140 and 170 switching over to common rail at the time.

is the engine just As reliable? is there any significant differences

 

[AndrewJB]

The CR170 is better in the eyes of Less Noise,Cleaner,Slightly improved MPG

in Terms of Tuning the PD170 is better but nobody has really pushed a CR on here yet

i see they do dpf removal and remap for 800 quid from jbs, sounds like something to save pennies for

i dont mind the extra tractor sound, can you still hear the turbo whistle on the pd?

 

[AndrewJB]

Yeh it whistles

Ive removed my sound deadening under the bonnet aswell and have got me boot stripped out so sound gets in everywhere

i never heard it on the test drive but the engine had been started from cold? how do you remove sound deadening? is is the plastic cover?

yours is tuned though mine is standard at the minute

 

[AndrewJB]

Its the Material under the bonnet when you lift it, a load of plastic clips hold it on

ah ok thanks, the turbo is noticeable standard is it? or just when tuned like yours?

 

[AndrewJB]

I Carnt remember it standard to be honest it was ages ago now
