MK IV Golf 1.9 TDI Engines!

[Hankey]

Hi People,

Just a quick question thats probs been asked loads of times but o well im sure someone will post something!
Whats the difference on the engine on the 115Bhp and the 150Bhp is it just something like the size of the turbo or are they completely different??

Thanks alot!

The pistons,injectors,crank,rods,map sensor,ecu,software programing are all different....why do you ask!!

Indeed, none of them that have different engine codes are the same. Some are more different than others. My 130BHP AVF is the same as the other 130, but has a bigger clutch. If you are thinking of upping the power of a TDI, the 130 is the best place to start (apart from 150 obviously!) as it has much stronger components.

Well I have the 115Bhp TDI bt its just abit slow its great to drive and i love my Golf but I'm looking at upping the power so rather than gettin rid of my engine was going to see if i could up the power but looking at it might just change the engine

Hankey - your just round t'corner from me !

you could up the nozzles size and remap for about 30 - 50 bhp more.

Ron i'm sure its a pd motor and not the ve like our's.......a re-map /chip should get you to around a 170hp and if you want more than that you are going to have to change your turbo to either a vnt1852/56 or a vnt2056 / vnt2059....which should bag you around the 210hp after a re-map of course.

Excuse me for being blonde, but whats the difference between the 130 and 150, just different software?

If I was to up my power to 185 on from 130, I would be at real risk of blowing up various parts of the engine, or destroying the clutch. As I have said, the 115 is not as tough as the 130 or 150, which have different components. I wouldn't go past 170 from a 115, and then you'd be pushing it. If you go for 200 as suggested you can expect a very rapid bang.
A remap to 160 would be quite sensible, depending on the age/condition of engine/clutch.
