VW 1.9L TDI engine - NO ELECTRONICS

[@unkelmama]

You guys inspired me to put 1.9 tdi in my rabbit. After watching this vid I did a bunch of research and made my own hybrid pump for a 1.9 I found dirt cheap. Went with bigger nozzles and now I’m waiting on some gaskets to go bigger turbo! Thank you!

[@bisket2003]

noice! DO you have a video of it running??

[@borderbarnstudios317]

Can you share what you did?

[@AverageJoesracingteam]

What pump?

[@alexanderpappas68]

Share more info please.

[@jeffreymoteme]

More infor please what pump did you use

[@donaldasayers]

The previous iteration of this engine the TD (no i) was particularly bomb proof. I had one in a Passat, I only filled up once a month, like this one it had no electronics at all. You could pressure wash the engine bay whilst it was running and it wouldn't stop.

[@dressysquid]

I have pressure washed my bhw tdi while it was running. It still works

[@nothxgs]

you can power wash every single engine in the world while running that’s literally how they are detailed bozo

[@DarkAttack14]

I mean you can do that to modern engines too lol. I worked next to a detail shop and they never shut cars off when they washed it, no problems with anything. I watched them do it to a maybach that made me nervous

[@curtispomykal8432]

Great job guys! That is a great engine choice also. My buddy at work has a 2001 Jetta TDI with 438k. miles on her! Can't wait to see the Tonka roll with it! Curtis

[@Lajnator]

A dinosaur engines, one of the best diesel ever made by VW, there are really popular here in EU, a lot of people still have them even it turned over 400.000 kms. Skoda (one of the concern's makes) sold them with 66kw and 81kw, finally 96kw this one already have PD injectors. still doing service. I would assume the one shown would have 74kw or even 66kw if it's from golf. Super cheap parts, really reliable engine with low consumption!!! my 1.9 TDi 77kw 2006 Octavia II. and my wife's 2.0 TDi 103 kw facelifted octavia II 2009 we curently drive could not be ever compared, both complicated PDs injectors....full of electronic devices such a pain...miss my old octavia 2002 I. 81kw!!! or golf IV 2001 74kw

[@MycketTuff]

Indeed. Stepping down two cylinders from a AKE 2.5 TDI (also a decently reliable engine) to this as my winter daily. A buddy drove his 1.9 TDI past 600k kilometers just recently, it even seem to have retained most if not all the horses too.

[@swiclabc]

The 96kW doesn't have PD injectors and the 1.9 TDi 74kW is a PD. Only engines with the simple fuel pump were 66kW, 81kW and 96kW

[@Lajnator]

@@swiclabc even 96kw has been a PD!!! Put this text to google translator “před časem potěšen oznámením automobilky, že se zavádí montáž TDI motoru s výkonem 96 kW. Ten je osazen moderním systémem přímého vstřikování paliva čerpadlo tryska neboli TDI-PD.” 74kw as well but this one has been fitted to a “tour” released octavias aroun 2010 only.

[@michagiedrojc5513]

This is a part of history that made vw one of the biggest car makers in the world. Every part is so fucking huge on this motor regardless to fact it has 90-110bhp. You get there a oil filter that comes from a 10liter truck! Solid and simple.

[@jhorvat8478]

Best engine 1.9TDI 90hp, till now 2.5 milion kilometers in 20 years. No big problems, regular oil change and time belt. Only bad spots are: electro magnetic ventil on bosh pump(fixed by direct connecting wire on ventil from light position) and intercooler pipe always blow(fixed with duck type).

[@chatchayapaipak5002]

Love to see the how you make the spacer for the Bosh VE pump. Like to have a set up like that

Love it. May try this when I get to slapping mine in a yota. Love the fact you can push start it now.

[@bisket2003]

This is going to go into a JEEP YJ now. The YOTA has been abandoned due to the frame complications.

[@ronaldreed7698]

I liked the way he "pumped" the throttle like it had an accelerater pump not a butterfly to allow air in. Lmao

Its a mechanical injector pump, it moves some fuel to the injectors this way as the electronics are cut.

[@LightWaIker]

Probably why it's good practice to drain the intercooler periodically, it acts like a catch can.

Lovely. Wish I had the non-electronic diesel pump in my TDI where you can pull the gas in the engine bay.

[@bisket2003]

JOOOHHHNNNIIEEEEEEE!!! This will likely have a high mounted snorkel intake fed directly to the turbo. Sadly, its all been moved into store for the winter. We lost our barn/workspace (grandmothers property is up for sale) so it may be a bit until we can get back at it. Still have lots to do on the frame and what not.

​@@bisket2003Nope. You're stretching a spring, that is all. The governor is at or near full fuel position 'till the engine is near idle RPM.

​@ryank5688 true because the centrifugal fly weights in the governor ate turning so slow still which allows much more fuel of the hop from low cranking speeds

Yes I agree !

[@skylinefever]

Sometimes people replace their VNT turbo with a wastegate turbo and a mechanical wastegate actuator.

[@gathmc]

the waste gate in these old motors just used manifold pressure and the spring in the waste gate to manage boost pressure curde but effective for millions of diesel engines made

I need to know how you did this... I’d like to replicate it to use 2 of these on my boat...

[@unitytwins6652]

I know this is an old video but for anyone wanting to make a similar modification you can get a fully mechanical p-pump from an older rabbit or golf 1.6 and it will practically bolt right in to where the 1.9 pump sits and I believe uses the same cam belt gear but could be wrong. The only thing that you have to look out for is injector / pump tuning. Ideally you'd use the 1.6 injectors to start off with to make sure the conversion works as they will match how the pump is tuned, but could go back to the 1.9 or bigger aftermarket injectors that way you can lower the overall duration of the injector fire, and therefore you can reduce egts and up the power, but that is if you are trying to really tune it to how it should be, a 1.6 pump and injectors will make this 1.9 a dog but usable, but there is a plethora of modifications you can do to tune the pump with bigger injectors. Buying an old pump is risky, but an old pump can almost always be rebuilt and retuned, as long as there is a parts market, or you can learn to resource and reuse old parts, but that requires having a good amount of space for an abundance of good and bad parts to salvage from, which can turn into a cluster-phobic headache or an eyesore for most who don't see the value.

Thanks for taking time to make this video. I have a question for you, if you can please answer, just your thoughts. I have an engine 1.9SDI, mounted on a Skoda fabia, 2004. I want to use this engine on a mobile saw mill, unfortunately the injection pump it is electronic controled. After several days of fails I manage to start the engine and accelerate it up to about 1200RPM with the electronic pump, just by opening the pump and making some changes. If I buy a Injection pump from, 1996 , same engine but with TDI, the pump is mechnical, can I install it on this engine? it will work?? I am not concerned about lossing few HP, but it needs to run shooth . Just let me know what you think. I contacted several companies experts in Injection pumps and they told me they have lotd of work and they dont play with this stuff Thanks again

[@bisket2003]

The electrical system on the ALH can be made to stand alone using the stock injection pump and ECU. The ECU does need to be re-flashed though. The ALH never came with a mechanical pump as far as I know... You're probably referring to the 1.9L AAZ. I have no idea how different that platform is...
