I own the pd it has been an experience and I love the sound I removed egr and resonator and soon the dpf because I live in a place where we don’t have emissions testing
Can confirm, the 1.9TDI is a great motor, my dad has one with almost 650,000k on the clock, its got some minor mods, tune, injectors, intercooler and an exhaust. made double the stock power and something stupid like 450nm (i cant remember fully) still going like no tomorrow. does about 80,000km a year that motor has never had an issue.
Yes, do look at our president. I don't really want to get into politics right now, but look at the unemployment rates. For Latinos: lowest EVER, blacks: lowest EVER, women: lowest in 60 years. VR6 owner btw.
Bro Brooklyn I mean the one that is natuarly aspirated without a turbo are the reliable ? Because i looking for a cheap car not looking for performance
Probably the worst engine I've experienced... I had lots problems with mine. And there are many cars with the 1.9tdi being sold cheap online due to engine problems. It was very fuel efficient tho! But still, slow and it sounded miserable :/
no with 75 hp, we drive with the first gear and we have 420k Kilometres i know that a friend with the same car drive now 800k kilometres.....with the first engine
Hmmmm, sorry but it is actually the worst of them. Problem with their piston coating made them at a HUGE risk of turbo/block failure in their early life. Glad for Andrew that his isn't concerned though :)
Other than the tendency for the camshaft lobes to wear out around 150K miles, the old pump induced diesels were one of the most solid engines by VW, really only outdone by the 2.0L 8V ABA engines (Affectionately known as the 2.0-slow in the business!) and other variants. At least, that's my opinion!
I'm so glad to see my '03 gti's engine in here, the 1.8t. The engine is crazy reliable if you always do an oil change on time, I almost have 200k miles on it, and it still runs like a champ
Thanks for using my clip again! I'm still searching for a free moment to record the Supersprint Magnum exhaust that I have installed on that V5 a while ago, it definitely increased the rawness and deepness of the sound.
I just bought a 2003 Seat Toledo 20VT AUQ (latest model), 148k kilometers, awesome sound and looks. It needs some paint job and some other fixes but im sure I will enjoy the process ^^
vw golf ARL 150hp is not very slow ;) ...chip tuning have 190hp 400nm ! my 1.9tdi PD 101hp have turbo intercoler injection sport intake air filer sport exhauts remap this same 190hp 400nm ! my car stock 205kmh max speed now 240kmh ! construption 4-5l ! a good power ! 300 000km ENGINE STOCK NOT PROBLEM !
One could always take fuel type into account. This way you could include, say, the Chevy Corvette's 14.5:1 compression engine; since that's downright ridiculous for a gasoline engine.
VW 2.0 litre 8V petrol engine 115bhp It many not be the fastest or most powerful engine in the world, But it's durable and capable of very high miles and it loves to be revved and worked hard.
I also have the 8 valve 2.0 vw golf, 5speed. Runs great, very great. Straight pipe. I show a code on mine . P0402 or something like that. Might try the non foulers, put them around my 02 sensors. Love the 2.0 5speed. I MEAN code P 0420.
1.9 tdi owner here (Seat Leon FR) and although I don't like the car (I'm more of an Alfa Romeo guy) the car performs amazing. It's fast, very fast, and sticks to the road like a chewing gum
The 1.8 T 20 valve is an extremely reliable engine. Mine has just over a quarter million miles on it and has never had any mechanical issues. Not even starting to get play in the turbo bearings yet
You missed out the ABF. Has to be the best in my opinion. N/A or force fed it’s a beast and capable of some crazy power. Boba Motoring uses a heavily modified one in his Golf which has around 1200 hp
I'm not a VAG group guy myself (especially after they started with plastic intakes and oil pans etc with the TSI engines) but I gotta say the exhaust note that their VR5 and W12 engines have is too damn nice. Especially with a tuned system they absolutely kick ass
With the v10 TDI, you said they call it 5.0 when is 4.9 . The engine volume is bore x stroke, but also the volume of the combustion chambers in the cylinder head. Took me a long time to realize this. Keep making the wonderful videos my friend.
Those are still VR6s. VW just didn’t market it as a VR6 because it confused the customers at this point. The Mk5 R32 and the Passat R36 both had the 10.5° cylinder bank.
I own a b5.5 Passat with 1.8t engine. This car once told me how to drive. My dad bought it new back in 2004, and I just couldn't sell it when the time to get myself a first car came by. it's amazingly reliable, reasonably quick, spacious inside, manual and make turbo noises, love it!
Thank you for covering the vr6. It was and is thier most revolutionary engine design. It was the one vw engine that was as good or better than any other engine of it's day. You kids can keep your 2.0fsi. A built vr6 turbo is king. Big turbo sheer brutality.
Great video man, thanks for uploading! I have a 2002 GTI with the 1.8T 20 V, and can vouch that it's an extremely reliable engine… 221,000 miles and counting. As long as you're willing to do the thousand dollar service every hundred thousand miles😂 and she is still a tire blazer. Also sounds pretty good since the downpipe rusted through and it's now Straight - piped
Weirdly the 1.8t 20v was designed Audi engineers and VW took it for use in a lot of the cars. It’s also used in Formula Palmer Audi as the race engine with 300hp
The 1.8 20v is one of the most desirable engines here in Brazil, there are setups where this engine reaches 800~900 bhp. Is the most tuned engine based on the old Mercedes AP series bought by VW that came out and was imported to the US in the Fox and Fox Wagon on the 90's.
nice video,i drive 1.9 tdi 81kw,very nice power and fuel consumption,my brother has one too,both have around 350k on the clock and they work just fine. I love vw's!
VR5 AGZ had 2 cams, but 2 valves per cylinder. Newer AQN was with 4 valves. Difference was again with the spark plug placement and AQN had individual ignition coils.
basic? you must be kidding mate, not only that KR engine don't have lambda sensor is not basic but just look at fuel system so called "crab" it's insane
Kevin Bakker yes mate! I had a 16v mk2 golf back in the day, had it rebuilt with flowed head, flowed inlet and magnex comp manifold back, throttle bodies from the 2.2 Audi gt, bigger valves, fuel pump etc, was a little monster! I bought a new Octavia vrs at same time and golf was quicker to begin with. Plus I had no grey hair!! Happy days......
The Volkswagen Group (VAG) has really made some good engines like the old 1.9 liter 130bhp engine (engine code AWX or AVF in VW Passats up to 2005/6) how goes very well indeed. They are a bit slow and rough when accelerating But quiet at a cruise. No DPF either in these cars. I'm sure more people will love the old VAG engines ...☺💪
Have an old 2001 Passat TDi PD(130bhp) I salvaged before it went to the scrapyard. Fixed the headgasket and it's now on 423000 miles. With a 165bhp remap.
But where is this classic 1.6 8v ? I know it's not that good like 1.9 tdi and it is slow (first versions were introduced in first Golfs and had 70 hp, the latest was in 6 generation of Golf and have 102 hp) but it is a petrol engine that have very good reability (not as that LEGENDARY 1.9 tdi but still). It was in Vw, Skoda,Audi,Seat cars.
i miss my G60 Corrado. That thing sounded sweet after the silencer was removed and a 2.5in exhaust was added. the droning was awesome. Most likely not to own another.
@@kristofmajor8427 Maybe, but in America the car was well received and probably one of the most durable engine VW has ever produced. I really enjoyed mine, it's just sad that some woman recked it :(
Wow, I never knew a car as dull as a Passat could sound so good! Shame it's only the TDi models you see on the road and never the R36 or W8. I should imagine they will become collectable very soon.
There's so many great Volkswagen engines... I'm not even the biggest VW fan generally, but I really admire how they're always trying something different. You said VW is like a European GM and I agree with that, but IMO they're actually more like an early '60s GM rather than the GM of the current day.
@@nvl2691 So, some of these don't either. That's also subjective, the GTI's need a solid exhaust and they can sound amazing. The miltek and AWE exhausts sound great, you can't have a exhaust that's too loud otherwise it's too raspy. This motor is better then a ton of engines on this list
I dont think its good to compare gm and Volkswagen just because they own so many other companies , vw is more and more becoming premium , together with audi and so on , german cars in general are at a higher quality standard and luxurious, and there is no real american luxury car
Uuhhh hello? 2017 Lincoln Continental? 2017 Cadillac CTS and ats? I would take a Cadillac over any unreliable German crap, like a BMW 5 series or whatever. and I'm not even American haha
Andrew Samy aaaah so only this years cars count? Still after looking at the pictures it looks pretty dated, i can see a lot of design elements on a 12 year old mercedes for example. They catched up from the last 25 years of ugly interiors but still it looks dated compared to the german 3 or a Jaguar (were not getting into the exotics because it should be affordable)
I drove a VW Polo sedan 1.9 SDI from the 90s which was a rental car and it had 638000 km. Believe me or not, it was running perfectly despite the fact that it was beaten on
