    CAD models for various TDI engine parts

    Hallo! I want to run a simulation. I'm curious if a pd 2.0 16v head will be compatible with the bottom end of a pd 1.9 tdi. The head should bolt on no problem but it's a mystery if the valves will collide or not with the pistons. I am having issues finding the cad models, any hint in the right...

    Is torsen 4wd useful for hard cornering?

    I went with the friend in question with the b7 on twisty roads, both cars loaded (mine had more stuff because the passat is larger and also a wagon). My rear end was sliding while he would still be planted on the road.

    Is torsen 4wd useful for hard cornering?

    I could try my friends B7 A4, but beside the torsen he has sport suspension, his engine is mapped to 200hp compared to my stock 110hp, plus the generational improvements the B7 platform has over the B5.

    Is torsen 4wd useful for hard cornering?

    As the title states, is torsen 4wd useful for hard cornering? I'm curious if a car equipped with torsen can maintain traction when the 2wd equivalent would start to understeer. I'm not interested in launching performance and traction in slippery conditions whatsoever.

    My fuel pump is "disarming"

    AFN is the 110HP version of the ALH. I don't have a pump in the tank.

    My fuel pump is "disarming"

    I have used the word "disarming" for lack of a better term (no 1 to 1 translation from my language). I have a Passat B5 1.9 TDi AFN, and a few days after I had my timing belt and water pump replaced, the car would take 15 seconds of cranking to start for the first time. I know for sure it's an...

    ea189 engine weight

    Sorry for being an ******* earlier but that won't make this "search tool" more useful, I actually tried using it. I even took a screenshot with the results it gave me.

    ea189 engine weight

    I'd say something offensive but there is no point in arguing with internet trolls, waste of time.

    ea189 engine weight

    (Useless google, so many retarded sites telling me the total weight of the cars having this engine) how much does this engine weight when mounted longitudinally? I've even looked into VW's SSPs with no luck...

    Is it possible to broaden the torque band of a TDI without the aid of a second turbocharger?

    could be an interesting idea, though I suspect the evolution of boost is beyond just the turbocharger.

    Is it possible to broaden the torque band of a TDI without the aid of a second turbocharger?

    Power band and torque band are not the same thing mate. I was asking in general rather than for my B5 in particular as that is up for sale. Also the engine runs great. I changed the head gasket with my father, replaced the valve seals (now for the engine it's enough just 4 liters of oil between...

    Is it possible to broaden the torque band of a TDI without the aid of a second turbocharger?

    As the title suggests, are there any mods which can be done to TDIs to make the torque band broader? Something like 1500-3000 rpm from the usual 1750-2500rpm. Or is it simply not possible?

    Skoda Superb MK1 brochure

    I know this isn't the most appropriate category for this question but good luck having people responding in mostly dead threads. Anyway, does anybody know a site where I can find the 2006-2008 Skoda Superb brochure? I've been searching the internet for a while with no luck. Wiki and car spec...

    R5 TDI Touareg opinions

    Since my dreams about swapping an R5 in a B5 Passat have been mostly crushed and the A6 C4 being too old, I have turned my head to look at a Touareg R5. It has a manual, taxes are decent (at least when compared with the V6 TDI which has 2.5x higher taxes plus I'm not a big fan of V6 engines) and...

    Are full sized sedans worth it?

    Eh, I don't feel right calling haldex all wheel drive. VAG's torsen or Subaru's thing (how do they have transverse awd) are the real deal for passenger cars.

    Are full sized sedans worth it?

    If I find the facelifted Seat Exeo too crammed I'm giving up on diesel as well. That's the only diesel car I'm still considering to buy. After that, I am done with having a german daily car. I'll switch to mazda's small inline 6s which will hopefully be n/a paired with manuals.
