An E-pump still has almost all the frequently failing parts an M pump does, costs more to replace, and the ECU is almost twice as much as an M pump, yet has no analogue on the IDI car.
OK well if an EMP comes then yes the ECU is a downfall..
But other than that, the 1.9 TDI in a whole, is in every way better than the 1.6 IDI.
were not talking every way better..
were talking simplicity..
the 1.6 needs NO ELECTRICITY TO RUN if you install a marine fuel solenoid, or take the pill out of the one it has already..
only way a TDI does that, is with a mechanical pump..

BAM. 150% better in every way.
