VW T5 Transporter - Engine swap PD130 - part 1

[@caemaridwn]

You can't beat getting your hands dirty, great video Lee.

[@SpyderLEE]

👍 3 weekends in a row I’m struggling to get them clean now 😂

[@crow3030]

Brilliant video well explained, doing mine soon brs engine on last legs 😢

[@pauljcampbell2997]

Great video mate! Thanks for the insight into this fairly major job!

[@SpyderLEE]

Cheers 😁

[@gandhi1078]

Great vid, I’ve also got the axb engine & had the head gasket done 5 years ago. You must’ve been pissed doing the head again & it not sorting the problem. Great work especially on your own as well as filming 👌🏻👏🏻

[@SpyderLEE]

Thanks. 😁. Wanted to make a video showing everything because I struggled to find any decent information when researching this swap.

[@m17tty]

Great video, and really well explained too. Those pd130s are decent engines, had one in a fabia vrs that with good servicing did 180k and was still going strong with a map when I crashed it! Look forward to part 2

[@mehman223]

ive done this swap previously on a t5 with fabia vrs lump,your right with 150 ish bhp if its a 5 speed,going 6 speed is more involved but could take the 170/180 these can make,take note of lower crank sensor near gearbox end,make sure your pd 130 can take the plug it needs to use the t5 harness! just a fyi,be watching have subbed :)

[@SpyderLEE]

Yeah swapped the crank sensors. No mods necessary on this block 👍. Engine is running lovely.

[@mehman223]

@@SpyderLEE happy days :) shame they didnt really offer better pd from factory til they started using more expensive dsgs

[@sosss505]

Well done Lee...turns me off my 1.9 t5 tho..thinking of all that can go wrong with it..I always thought these were pretty bombproof with regular maintenance..😮

[@SpyderLEE]

They are a good engine when looked after. Not sure how looked after the 210k was before I bought mine. But it’s always well serviced now.

[@russellsmith6476]

Looking forward to next video

[@psvyme48ph45]

Wow nice van 😊

[@ianronnay-fisher3242]

😂 can't wait for p2, love the vids. 😎

[@peakyparttimers9362]

Can't wait for next video 😊

[@SpyderLEE]

Yeah next one is the one for anyone interested in the swap. 👍

[@grahamrobson9292]

Spray your sub frames thoroughly with wax Oyl as T5’s are now corroding

[@Kapil-Patel]

You're an inspiration Lee. Can't wait for the next part 👍🏽 Thanks for sharing.

[@SpyderLEE]

Cheers mate 😁

[@stephengraham6194]

Brilliant love these videos Lee keep them coming!

[@SpyderLEE]

Thanks 😊

[@Stainless316L]

Im thinking about fitting crafter 2.0 cktb in a t4 2.5 acv.

[@SpyderLEE]

Nice one 👍

[@Bomberharris68]

Very watchable Lee, always enjoy your vids 👍

[@SpyderLEE]

Thanks 😊

[@ChrisJohnson-us7ii]

Hi, I've watched this a few times and you've made it look easy 🙂 i've gone and ordered an asz engine and about to attempt it on my T5, any chance you can provide part numbers of the gaskets required? Thanks

[@SpyderLEE]

I literally just used my reg to order the gaskets and ordered them for my original engine. They all fitted. 👍

[@kilogolfbravo9567]

Just found your page and thanks just rebuilt my gearbox and seems harder to put back together than taking out. Just a couple questions if you can what program do you use on your pc to connect to the T5? And I can seem to ding the sump connection plug is it on the harness from engine or does it run from the firewall. Cheers mate from Australia 🇦🇺

[@FantasticCraptacular]

Ideal Lee, my AXB has done 260k and I will be converting to PD130 in the near future probably. Fingers crossed I’ll get 300k out of it

[@SpyderLEE]

They are known for their high miles so hopefully 😁

[@joey8313]

A vrs powered van.. I like the sound of that

[@SpyderLEE]

Me too 😁

[@DailyDrivencampers]

Hey Lee so was it pretty much a straight fit didn't have to drill a hole anywhere just swap the bits over was it

[@SpyderLEE]

Yep just swap bits over. Had to hack the engine mount a little. I go through everything I change in the next video.

[@DailyDrivencampers]

@@SpyderLEE thanks mate 👍

[@moasicsCupra]

Asz has same injectors as the 150 as well 550s where as the BLT has 520s

[@pauljames7399]

Hi mate were you able to put the front engine mount back onto that asz block or did you leave it out? Thanks

[@vwcamperinteriors]

I have seem a few t5s that I'd like to fit out as campers ..I'm wondering how much it would cost to have one of these engines supplied and fitted and can you recomend any one that will do the work Thanks

[@XskajwbwJajdjhaa]

Hi. here in France, we are interested in your swap. questions: turbo and injectors of the 130hp engine? what parts do you keep from the old 105hp engine?

[@SpyderLEE]

Hi. Everything I changed is in this and the second video 👍

[@andrewrobinson9453]

Love these vids lee but it must be a pain in the arse for you to vlog it as well as change the engine

[@SpyderLEE]

It definitely adds time on. This time I didn’t mind as I needed the break 😂

[@TheDaf95xf]

Nice video buddy 👍🏻

[@medley2505]

Ey up pal I'm doing the engine swap myself but I'm struggling what to do with the crank sensor ? Your help would be much appreciated.

[@SpyderLEE]

Didn’t have to do anything with mine only swap the one on the Skoda engine out for the one off my vw. People talk about drilling the block and stuff but this engine I didn’t have to do anything. Everything I did is in these 2 videos.

[@medley2505]

@SpyderLEE think I may have to drill the block on mine as the sensor is different to my van 1

[@medley2505]

Have u still got the old oil filter housing? Mine is clearly the golf asz engine the filter housing is too big ffs. I'm from sheffield.........or if u have got rid of it do ubpossibly have a pert number ?

[@medley2505]

I know paul also sheffield re maps

[@hippopigy]

Just started doing mine, got the engine from a galaxy as had the same short filler housing. Got to drill the block in the next coupler of days..... How much is your map costing?

[@SpyderLEE]

I didn’t have to drill the block. With the map speak to Paul here - facebook.com/sheffieldremapping

[@hippopigy]

how did you not have to drill it?Hows it picking up its signal fromthe crank? @@SpyderLEE

[@SpyderLEE]

@@hippopigy it already had a crank sensor fitted. I swapped it for mine.

[@pauljames7399]

Hi good job 👏 on the video can i ask what other vag cars have the asz engine? My t5 mixing coolant & oil again too after doing the headgasket 3 year ago. Its done 300k now i want to take it out. Thanks

[@SpyderLEE]

I’m not 100% on other cars but I know there is a Ford that has it and also the vw polo & golf. Some of them need different mods though

[@pauljames7399]

Thanks so if I got a fabia vrs engine pretty much a straight swap I keep my ecu /clocks everything loom gearbox etc..

[@SpyderLEE]

@@pauljames7399 yes as long as you do what I did in the videos plus change the injectors. Or keep the VRS injectors and get the ecu mapped. If you watch the part 2 to this video you will see

[@pauljames7399]

I found out there was coolant in the oil sump & It was leaking from a dodgy sumpnut no smoke from the exhaust no bubbling expansion tank no oil in coolant.. it did overheat last week on motorway I pulled over & let it cool opened the cap.. I did the headgasket 3 year ago only done like 30,000 miles does it sound like headgasket gone again?

[@charlesallanstewart-kl2op]

Mate there is a guy who's YT channel is DTE tv maybe he can help in someway? He lives up North 😁

[@vwtransportersandmotorcycl3729]

Nice vid, can’t help feel sorry for your brick driveway though 🙈

[@SpyderLEE]

Lol yeah it’ll need some degreasing and a jet wash now.

[@JamieUnderwood-f7l]

Who is the guy you got the engine pal

[@grahamrobson9292]

Very interesting Subbed

[@DavidJohnson-kk5jw]

You'll probably find the only failure xausung tour Oil in coolant and coolant in oil was the oil cooler itself

[@SpyderLEE]

Nope. Changed that

[@jakesanger1145]

Do you know if I can do this swap on my 2.5lt t5?

[@SpyderLEE]

Not sure to be honest
