Dude this is literally the same engine I am swapping right now. I’ve posted on TDI swapped trucks about it a couple times it’s going in my 92 pickup just finished rebuilding it. Can’t wait to see the progress!
I had a yr 2000 Passat with a TDi in it. I loved how nippy it was and economical. Only had issues quite often with the mass sensor as it lost power completely. Other than that a nice engine.
Very inspirational, wish I could learn how to understand taking apart a vehicle and not get confused and put it all back into a vehicle. Dang need to build up some confidence in me! But much love for what you do keep up the hard work and grind.
Super excited for this. I have the same car out back (with the bad trans) and a stripped 96 Taco patiently waiting. I've already done the B. S. Delete it's just sitting on the engine stand! Keep up the awesome vids really looking forward!
On a more serious note this is the best vid of what you need to pull from anywhere online. I have the exact same Passat in my garage right now this helped.
Dude I love your channel. Since 2015 I have been interested in swapping a TDI into a small pickup for utility and fuel economy. BAM and here we are. Bravo good sir.
The side nozzle on the lift pump is called an eductor, probably for fuel mixing, pulling slightly warmed fuel from the fuel pump and dumping it back at the inlet to reduce plugging the strainer with gelled fuel in cold temps. Nice job pulling the engine, now I know what to do when I buy a Passat donor for my diesel swap.
i believe that's a swirl pot jet on the fuel pump. Creates a low pressure area that draws fuel toward the inlet of the pump. It probably also helps cool the motor by constantly flowing fuel past the armature.
That noise sounds like the balance shaft. Most BHW's had this issue and I JUST deleted mine in the past month. Deleting it is a little complicated with the engine still in the car but should be easy once its out!
I really like this project, I have never had a diesel vehicle and after I have been watching your videos from the red truck I am considering buying a diesel Jetta
I don't know much about VW stuff but I have a guy who passes my house in one of these cars to and from his job , first time I heard this thing I thought it was my buddy in his F-250 , thing sounds like a monster and I've recently witnessed him get on it “passing" someone and i have to say I was impressed
HaHa you put the word power and 22re in the same sentence, my one wouldn’t pull the skin off a custard, but still running after 32 years all original that a good compromise !!
@@MussaKZN yeah, they had decent power for their time. I put a 22rte in my 86' 5 speed 4runner. Added a borg turbo, intercooler, and injectors from a turbo coupe and that thing was a blast.
Been so awesome watching you and this channel grow. Are you still doing the dirt bike parts full-time as well it'd be cool to get an update video on that!
i bet all the trans needed was a fluid change and filter. i have an 05 mk4 body tdi with an auto and it did this same thing. but regardless ima be here on your page binge watching everything because i just found your channel haha
You’re obviously a diesel guy as apparent from your other builds, have you ever considered the Cummins 2.8? This is a great motor and with all the support from Cummins, this swap would be a breeze! Love your videos and can’t wait for more!
I’ve got Audi TT roadster seats in my Hilux which are made by recaro VW and Mercedes also have recaro seats I think it would be a very easy modifications,
So I’ve been pondering now that I’m almost finished with the one tons and double triangulated front and rear. Vw tdi or the Mercedes tdi 4 cylinder vs 5 cylinder
I read with TDI you need all the Security stuff too.... Read this awhile ago but i think the dash cluster has some things you need? Maybe the Key Switch and whatever Security VW uses ?? Make sure you got it all before the donor car is gone.... Maybe you know all this ?? I was looking at VW Diesel swaps into Rangers and so on ...still looking at doing it...as i have a Ranger already...
@@austinniemela I thought you had it figured out..ok thanks... What does a tune cost??? Do you know how i can get a 00 Ford Exploder auto transmission to work with a VW Diesel?? Or where i could find that info??
@@garymallard4699 TDConversions sells a kit to mate with the 4.0 bellhousing, they've done a Ranger with an auto, they probably could give you some tips.
@@abpsd73 Thanks...i looked at different kits for my Exploder and Ranger ( 5 spd ). I know you can mate the auto to a diesel but not sure what i need to hook it to the computers etc..yet... My Exploder has the Timing Chain of Death coming someday soon ( not too bad yet but rattles both front and rear chains...( 4.0L V6 issue )... Thinking a Diesel would be better mpg but i can fix the timing chain too cheaper lol The Ranger is my main Diesel swap project anyways...
Found something on the security.. " Pre-2001 has no immobilizer. 2002+ has Immobilizer requirements (ECM matched with key and cluster....custom chip tuning can overcome that). "
How does it read the key? is there a coil around the lock cylinder to "read" the key chip? I'm curious since I will be doing a diesel swap and want to retain the immobilizer.
@@abpsd73 Not sure which setup VW's use... Some use a ring around the key to send to pcm others have different ways it sends the signal... I had to fix my Olds Alero a few years back ..it had a keyswitch sensor and it was like $300 for the parts...i would have to use a scanner to program it ( i don't have one yet that can do modules ) so a $150 Stealership was quoted ( i had no local shop who could do it )...even the it was like $75 - $100+ ... I finally found online it needs a resistance...so figured out what that was.. Ohmed out the wire to pcm with key in old switch etc.....bought $10 of resistors.... Put the value needed ( probably less than 50 cents ) and it started forever after....money light was on still...but i could dial that in with a $4 potentiometer if required later ( mechanic friend helped get that info from another tech at work...)... It started if you disconnected the battery and started it..but wouldn't restart next time....was a cheap solution to a stupid problem... I would have to change the Switch the Tumbler part and reprogram my keys otherwise...and was like $400 - $500 for trying to start my own car with the proper key and who knows what failed...maybe a scanner reprogramming it could have fixed it too..my GM tech said he usually replaces all those parts and reprograms it ..he couldn't scan it either ( has those at work only )... I worked with him over a year fixing cars at a dealership...the scanners for GM were nice...
@@abpsd73 I just recalled they had security issues on tdi engines As i was looking at engines to swap for my Ranger project... Still plan to tackle that but too many other projects and repairs right now to start it....i would like a decent cost swap....so TDI is nice but depends on cost...NA is probably easiest but power may be lower...i want mpg not performance...hoping around 30+ mpg...better than 20 with gas...
I had a jetta with the 1.8t with that trans I blow my 1.8 up put a 1inch hole in the block changed the engine to find out 100km later the transmission did the same thing and ran out of cash trying to fix that car
torque and driveability. The TDI will make its max power at cruising RPM. to get the same power out of the gas engine you would have to rev it up to 5k rpm. It honestly isn't more power, its about the same, but more useable because of where the powerband is. so when you're cruising along and want to pass someone, rather than downshifting and reving it to 5k, you just need to plant your foot.
In Australia The first generation Vw Amarock which are large duel cab pickup Came out with a 2.0l turbo diesel! The 2019 to current Hilux 2.8l turbo diesel 180kw 500nm
I know from the looking around I did for my future project, the R2.8 Cummins is expensive and has a bunch of extra emissions stuff on it, a 4BT is just so damn heavy and becoming hard to find in some places.
and weight, noise, fuel economy, ease of working on etc. TDI is a very power dense package which means it punches way above it's weight. It's literally 1/4 the mass of a 6bt yet can pump out a reliable 300hp 500tq while knocking down 30+ mpg in a compact truck or jeep.
Just curious why is it you want the diesel motor instead of the 3.4L V6? Not complaining about the videos they are always awesome and you are very meticulous.
