Title: 9mm Plunger too small for use on a TDI-M?
Post by: Ziptar on June 11, 2006, 05:43:00 am

I came across a VE IP from a old Jeep that had the Renault 2.1L Turbo Diesel. Based on the Tag Numbers it's a VE but, it has 9MM plungers.

Is 9MM too small to use on a TDI-M?? Should I grab it to for parts? I could use it for swapping the governor assembly over to a 4BT pump I suppose but, I don't know that the Renault RPM range is the same as the VWs.

In my Winnebago (it has the Renault 2.1 also) The max rpm is set to 4800-5100 rpm's.

Hope theis helps

Thanks, actually it does help, seeing as how the redline in my TDI is 5000 RPM,  I'd say it'll work.

Ok, I'll pickup the IP, It'll be a while before report back, I need a motor first  :wink:
