mkv 1.9 tdi golf mods help?

[gldgti]

The 1.9TDI is/was available in just about every VAG model sold and is the most prolific VAG engine to date, if you bunch the VE TDI's and PD ones in together.

Its been sold in variants from 66kW to 135kW, with the only real changes being the turbocharging, intercooling and software.

Its about the most time tested engine you can buy, apart from a beetle engine.

anyway, Greg is right that the main thing is to make sure it doesnt get clogged up by the EGR circuit. Thats about all really.

how do i stop my engine from clogging up by the EGR circuit? i have no clue on all of these mods...really interested in installing this kit

just have a search/read through on this forum about EGR.

Have you checked out the "new to the diesel forum" sticky?

Comfort lines came in 1.9, Sportline and up had the option, but most are 2.0. T

All trendlines are 1.9, comfortline were avilable in 1.9 or 2.0, sportline were 2.0 only.

Jazd is correct, cars with the 2.0 engine have the '2.0 tdi' badge, the 1.9 powered cars just have the 'tdi' badge.

I only know this as it was bloody confusing for me when I was shopping for one!

It already has one.

An ecu tune would be the best starting point and biggest bang for your buck.
