Agricutural D2:)

Engine downgrade aside, the D3 sports seats it is wearing front and rear, are quite interesting........

I thought the D3 seats were wider than the D2 seats.

That PD lump is orders of magnitude more reliable than the 2.5 it replaced, makes more power / torque and is 100Kg lighter. It might be a downgrade from a petrol V8, but its a massive upgrade from the V6 TDI ;)

My conversion will be a lot neater than that one :p

Can't wait for that thread! +++

I love it :D

I’m a huge fan of the VAG PD 1.9 unit just because they’re so bloody robust.

This seems to agree "VW Audi 1.9 TDI PD - Best Engine Ever ? ": https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/p...x.htm?t=110492

What about the 2.0 PD TDI, what's the difference? I never looked at them and thought all 2.0 are Common Rail but I recently found out there are 2.0 PD as well

What in all manner of non-originality is that??????????

Remarkably non-local accent too....:ROFL:

It's the sort of bodge I would expect to see tearing up and down the streets of rural Northern Ireland, not snow covered Latvia?

1.9tdi i have had many cars with that in
the best one to fit i think would be a passat 130 bhp then map it to around 180 bhp and that would be awesome
im a big fan....mmmm RS6 1.9tdi

many years ago we fitted a 2.0tdi 5cyl into a 5 pot petrol auto Audi 100 avant and did a manual conversion it was brilliant

MJ are you doing one?
what about fitting a 3.0tdi engine and box? (ps i have one)

D2 TDI Ultra. I have the lightest D2 sold in the UK - 2.8 FWD with no equipment which would otherwise have gone for scrap (T42 if anyone remembers that). It weighs just 20Kg more than my A6 1.9 TDI Avant (1480 vs 1460). A 1.9PD (AVF) manual swap in to that will save at least 150Kg making it about 1300Kg. Some TT seats will save another 50Kg, plus whatever other (easy) weight savings I can find shooting for 1200Kg. There's an option for tubular subframes to save even more.

Given that my A6 can get 700 miles from its 65 litre tank, a D2 with the same engine and less weight with a 95 litre tank should be knocking on the door of 1000 miles per tank +++

Oh, and a BV43 turbo for 200hp and many torques.

Its a technical exercise, because I can, and I'm curious. It may be an abomination, it may be a fun and frugal daily, it may get to the German A8 Treffen and home again on £50 of cooking oil :ROFL: The project kicks off after Andrew's S8 has been in for the treatment.

If I get bored of the 1.9, I have a 3.0 with 6hp to put in it which would then make an interesting tow vehicle, but I want to try the 1.9 first :)
