1Z was introduced in ´91 Audi 80 B4 and ´93 in Vw Passat, Golf and Vento. (´92 and ´94 model years)

Not in North America

Amen to this, Brother. Amazing how many American* cars are over there with diesel engines. I'd love to get their cetane numbers as well in our diesel

*Yes, I know some of these cars are made in Canada..... :)

Nice work, Vince..


Stay safe, stay well. Jimmy.

Later TDIs had/have seven hole nozzles, but that didn't start until the PD engines so you're probably not covering that here. :D

diesel smoke:
Nice writeup Vince!  8)

Vincent Waldon:
Thanks all... I've incorporated your various (great) suggestions.  

If I ever find cut-aways for the PD or common-rail design I'll add their own sections... anyone willing to take a bandsaw to their 2009 Jetta??!!   ;D

lord_verminaard:
I'm sure there are enough people with PD engines that have lunched their camshafts, should't be that hard.  ;)
