I know someone who is planning on putting the old 2L td into a toyota.Does anyone have any experiences with how these engines hold up when the fuel and boost is turned up a bit.Also will the Vw 2.4L D headgasket work on the 2L Audi engine (like 1.6 upgraded to 1.9 steel HG)?Thanks for any replies :wink:

I had a 1985 5000 TD for years and I sold it with about 400000 km on it.
The only modification I did on it was to raise the boost to 16 Psi and turned the fuel up a bit. Just before I sold it, I installed a new set of piston rings and bearings in it, but there was quite a bit of wear in the cylinders and it should have been rebored. The next owner drove it for at least another 3 years before selling it.

I am in the process of installing a 2.0 TD in a Vanagon Syncro, put oversize pistons in it and have rebuild everything else.
I am using a Saab intercooler and will be running around 18 psi boost.
The main problem with VW diesel piston wear is cold starts, so I have a pre-lube pump installed that brings the oil pressure up before starting.

The 2.4 D steel head gasket will fit, there is one extra oil return opening in it but it protrudes outside of the block and doesn't effect the sealing.

So IMHO don't set your boost too high, use an intercooler and if you let this engine warm up before you step on it, it will last a long time.

If you use the starter to build up oil pressure in the 2.0, would it also be beneficial to build oil pressure in a 1.6 TD . This could be for cold or warm temperatures.

I always build up pressure on my 1.6 TD after an oil change, make sure the oil circulates effectively around the motor. Then prime the GP and fire the motor.

Could this step add a few extra years to a motor, as well as running either Rotella T 15W40 or 15 W 40 full synthetic.

Also the 2.0 L diesel you talk about, is it 16 V.....

No, 10V

Consider using head studs instead of bolts, warped heads were very common back in the day and make sure the cooling system is overdone! You can overcool and the thermostat will close, however overheat and game over. I also heard of oiling issues on one cylinder so consider prelubing as mentioned.
I don't think you will have very much torque compared with a Toyota diesel (are you doing a truck or Land Cruiser?) I have a 2.4 Toyota turbo diesel, HUGE amounts of torque compared to the Audi motor, without the turbo spooled the Audi motor is not that powerful, however the Toyota truck I have will move a few tons just using the clutch no throttle! Very different pump settings inside I think as the Toyota will fuel itself to keep idling were the Bosch pumps do not (stall out much quicker)
I am planning a couple of Audi quattro conversions with the 2.0 td over the next year or two and maybe even a 2.4 D24T conversion into something.

I thought the 2.4L was an inline six, the 2.0L is a five. Head gasket has an extra hole? o_o

Hi, the later 5 cyl. Diesel in the Canadian Eurovan is 2.4 ltr.(same displacement as the 6 cyl engine used in the Volvo)

It has a 79.5 bore x 95.5 stroke compared with 76.5 bore x 86.4 stroke in the 2.0 TD.

The headgasket has an extra hole because this engine has hydraulic lifters, so there is more oil returning to the crank case.

Ohhhhhhhhh... This I didn't know!

Hmmm...

Any chance an American with dreams could get one of these "later 5-cyl diesels" from Canada? I promise I won't buy cheap drugs from you guys and run up the subsidy costs... >.>

Ah. I didn't know about that one either, I was referring to the hole for cylinder #6! :p

Also keep in mind the 5cyl we got had no turbo

It was slow as sin in the Eurovan
