I just found this site and wanted to say hello to everyone. After looking around a bit I didn't see a lot about the pd-tdi's. Is this site for older tdi's only? Or are the pd's still too new in NA?
Anyone from Pa on here?
welcome
this is for the older Naturally Aspirated In Direct Injection engines as well as the TD's and TDI's
what is this pd that you speak of??
pd (pumpe dusse) is the new tdi engine. Still 1.9 liters, but with a different fuel pump(s) and injection set-up. The rotary pump is gone and has been replaced by "unit injectors" or basically there's a little fuel pump at each injector. Stock power is up to 100hp and 177lbft, it meets tier II emissions requirements, it's a little quieter, it's a little smoother, but fuel mileage is down 2-4mpg.
Yeah, I've been a member of tdiclub for about a year or so. Some good info there.
