You guys inspired me to put 1.9 tdi in my rabbit. After watching this vid I did a bunch of research and made my own hybrid pump for a 1.9 I found dirt cheap. Went with bigger nozzles and now I’m waiting on some gaskets to go bigger turbo! Thank you!
The previous iteration of this engine the TD (no i) was particularly bomb proof. I had one in a Passat, I only filled up once a month, like this one it had no electronics at all. You could pressure wash the engine bay whilst it was running and it wouldn't stop.
I mean you can do that to modern engines too lol. I worked next to a detail shop and they never shut cars off when they washed it, no problems with anything. I watched them do it to a maybach that made me nervous
Great job guys! That is a great engine choice also. My buddy at work has a 2001 Jetta TDI with 438k. miles on her! Can't wait to see the Tonka roll with it! Curtis
Best engine 1.9TDI 90hp, till now 2.5 milion kilometers in 20 years. No big problems, regular oil change and time belt. Only bad spots are: electro magnetic ventil on bosh pump(fixed by direct connecting wire on ventil from light position) and intercooler pipe always blow(fixed with duck type).
A dinosaur engines, one of the best diesel ever made by VW, there are really popular here in EU, a lot of people still have them even it turned over 400.000 kms. Skoda (one of the concern's makes) sold them with 66kw and 81kw, finally 96kw this one already have PD injectors. still doing service. I would assume the one shown would have 74kw or even 66kw if it's from golf. Super cheap parts, really reliable engine with low consumption!!! my 1.9 TDi 77kw 2006 Octavia II. and my wife's 2.0 TDi 103 kw facelifted octavia II 2009 we curently drive could not be ever compared, both complicated PDs injectors....full of electronic devices such a pain...miss my old octavia 2002 I. 81kw!!! or golf IV 2001 74kw
Indeed. Stepping down two cylinders from a AKE 2.5 TDI (also a decently reliable engine) to this as my winter daily. A buddy drove his 1.9 TDI past 600k kilometers just recently, it even seem to have retained most if not all the horses too.
@@swiclabc even 96kw has been a PD!!! Put this text to google translator “před časem potěšen oznámením automobilky, že se zavádí montáž TDI motoru s výkonem 96 kW. Ten je osazen moderním systémem přímého vstřikování paliva čerpadlo tryska neboli TDI-PD.” 74kw as well but this one has been fitted to a “tour” released octavias aroun 2010 only.
This is a part of history that made vw one of the biggest car makers in the world. Every part is so fucking huge on this motor regardless to fact it has 90-110bhp. You get there a oil filter that comes from a 10liter truck! Solid and simple.
Thanks for the video I always wanted to use one of these 1.9‘s and do a swap in a Dodge Dakota but I did not know how to do the electronics on the electronic injection pump
I'm interested in doing this on my toyota pickup. can you please put me in touch with him so i can clarify a few things on what was needed for the pump to be used?
Deano! What's up. The intake on those diesels are notorious for getting clogged up. Also I have an almost infinite supply of fryer oil if you want to biodiesel it. Good luck. It looks pretty interesting.
JOOOHHHNNNIIEEEEEEE!!! This will likely have a high mounted snorkel intake fed directly to the turbo. Sadly, its all been moved into store for the winter. We lost our barn/workspace (grandmothers property is up for sale) so it may be a bit until we can get back at it. Still have lots to do on the frame and what not.
Hi you are amazing. Would you consider putting a VW Diesel into my s10 blazer. Diesel Conversion specialist makes a bolt up kit to a Chevrolet Transmission (adapter plate, starter, fly wheel etc...
Did you have to make any special plumbing or adapters to make the VE pump fit the ALH? Also what is the setup for the spacer behind the gear ? Cool stuff man
Kwl. This gives me an idea to try and start my car without a key by shorting the starter ignition wire to the battery positive to see if the engine will run
I know this is an old video but for anyone wanting to make a similar modification you can get a fully mechanical p-pump from an older rabbit or golf 1.6 and it will practically bolt right in to where the 1.9 pump sits and I believe uses the same cam belt gear but could be wrong. The only thing that you have to look out for is injector / pump tuning. Ideally you'd use the 1.6 injectors to start off with to make sure the conversion works as they will match how the pump is tuned, but could go back to the 1.9 or bigger aftermarket injectors that way you can lower the overall duration of the injector fire, and therefore you can reduce egts and up the power, but that is if you are trying to really tune it to how it should be, a 1.6 pump and injectors will make this 1.9 a dog but usable, but there is a plethora of modifications you can do to tune the pump with bigger injectors. Buying an old pump is risky, but an old pump can almost always be rebuilt and retuned, as long as there is a parts market, or you can learn to resource and reuse old parts, but that requires having a good amount of space for an abundance of good and bad parts to salvage from, which can turn into a cluster-phobic headache or an eyesore for most who don't see the value.
1,9 tdi alh engine with vtg turbo! A little bit better (simpler) 1.9 tdi agr engine, turbo with simple flap mechanism to reduce / regulate the pressure. I own the agr 365tkm / 230tmi consumption 4,5l/100km / 62mpg
I'd like to purchase the info, specifics, specifications... that you've figured out so I can avoid the research and trial and error. I have a eurovan and am ready to convert. I prefer the non computerized conversion and am pressed by your work.
Wow,,,I never have a recollection of subscriving so fast to a channel! I LOVE This video "No electronics is AWESOME!!! perfect for SHF...and prepping. How much was that fuel pump?
Well, a relative of mine (70 year old gentleman, to be fair) have COMMON RAIL Renault Mégane and sure enough, he will always tap the gas pedal (on common rail car) few times before cold-starting it... ahhhh
@ryank5688 true because the centrifugal fly weights in the governor ate turning so slow still which allows much more fuel of the hop from low cranking speeds
the waste gate in these old motors just used manifold pressure and the spring in the waste gate to manage boost pressure curde but effective for millions of diesel engines made
im in processe imagining an electronic free vnt system wired on a cable throttle of my 2,0l jetta engine , found that complete manifold of 1.9TDI fit perfectly with the 2.0lAEG head , kinda cool
Might need a few more parts for that Yota. That is exactly what I would do with that motor though. Good on ya. Maybe put it in a Samurai or an old beat to shit Jeep. Good luck!
Good afternoon, I am new to this whole TDI engine thing. I'm trying to run a 1.9 TDI on a mechanical injection pump so I don't need electronics. What do I do with the crank sensor? Do I need it or can I run without it?
Thanks for taking time to make this video. I have a question for you, if you can please answer, just your thoughts. I have an engine 1.9SDI, mounted on a Skoda fabia, 2004. I want to use this engine on a mobile saw mill, unfortunately the injection pump it is electronic controled. After several days of fails I manage to start the engine and accelerate it up to about 1200RPM with the electronic pump, just by opening the pump and making some changes. If I buy a Injection pump from, 1996 , same engine but with TDI, the pump is mechnical, can I install it on this engine? it will work?? I am not concerned about lossing few HP, but it needs to run shooth . Just let me know what you think. I contacted several companies experts in Injection pumps and they told me they have lotd of work and they dont play with this stuff Thanks again
The electrical system on the ALH can be made to stand alone using the stock injection pump and ECU. The ECU does need to be re-flashed though. The ALH never came with a mechanical pump as far as I know... You're probably referring to the 1.9L AAZ. I have no idea how different that platform is...
I don't exactly remember... I did have to buy a timing tool for the injection pump. But there are timing marks on both the injection pump and the engine.
Do you guys have a part number for the VE pump? I’m looking to do the same for a build I’m doing. Also How does the pump know to deliver more fuel with it being turbo? Does the VE pump have a boost refrence take off?
Kinda.....were abandoning the Yota. The frame we have will take too much to save and haven’t been able to track down a nice clean one for a deal. SO, the engine is guna now be going into a 95 YJ. Project to start spring 2021.

Love to see the how you make the spacer for the Bosh VE pump. Like to have a set up like that
I liked the way he "pumped" the throttle like it had an accelerater pump not a butterfly to allow air in. Lmao
Its a mechanical injector pump, it moves some fuel to the injectors this way as the electronics are cut.
What would it take to get a full list of parts off you, to do this? @@bisket2003
Love it. May try this when I get to slapping mine in a yota. Love the fact you can push start it now.
This is going to go into a JEEP YJ now. The YOTA has been abandoned due to the frame complications.
Lovely. Wish I had the non-electronic diesel pump in my TDI where you can pull the gas in the engine bay.
Thats mechanic pump. Electronic one is much better
That’s beautiful and alive, I can imagine the Golf or Bora it was once in ..
Might be a good setup to power a generator. Seems easy to work on.
I like so much the diesel engine sound! it's great. Regards from Mexico
that sound tho... iconic. the 1.9 is very reliable, but it loves to sip oil
Probably why it's good practice to drain the intercooler periodically, it acts like a catch can.
Mine doesn’t consume any oil
The best engine ever built by VAG group. reliable as nothing! i miss my Seat ibiza tdi.. buaaaaaa

vet cool idea, ,keep us posted on progress. ..I'm excited to find out more..
i wonder how the turbo is Working with out the vaccum switch n75? IT need the écu to run the vnt 15 !
Yes I agree !
Sometimes people replace their VNT turbo with a wastegate turbo and a mechanical wastegate actuator.
the waste gate in these old motors just used manifold pressure and the spring in the waste gate to manage boost pressure curde but effective for millions of diesel engines made

if the vnt vanes react with the gaz pedal position it should work fine ?
Good work . What did you do with the boost control?.
does that motor still run crazy efficient without the electronics?
Didn't even know a 4bt VE pump would work. I have a 99.5 jetta ALH I been wanting to put into either a 4runner or frontier. Tacoma's cost to much lol.
So when can we get a video on the bracket system for it to mount to the mechanical pump
Will get more info and video on this when we get back into the project!
Might need a few more parts for that Yota.

awesome work You done guys
is there other diesel pump what I can use like Bosch 028130107A VW T4 ? have an ALH 1,9 TDI in My mk1 Golf 1980

How did you set the initial timing for the fuel injection pump before the engine timing belt was installed
I don't exactly remember... I did have to buy a timing tool for the injection pump. But there are timing marks on both the injection pump and the engine.
like ti see a fuel pump install video.
We can work on that for yah.

What injection pump are you using
You guys should sell a kit
Was it always hard to start or just in the video? Cool set up!

What kind of spacer use on the pump pulley
Does it need more timing it’s puffing white smoke more timing = more fuel = more black smoke??

+Luke S not tuned yet. It all runs thou. Still have to tune and pipe. Been slowly working on the frame and body. It's a 10 yr project.
so all you did to make the pump work was put that spacer in? you didn't have to change the governor to the VW style?
Did you finish de swap ? Need more information about this
Nope, its still sitting but will eventually got onto a 95 YJ now. The Yota has been parted out.
Have to connect heater plug will start lot better

Cool Video thanks for sharing! How is the yoder conversion going?
so its like a TDI converted to be an AAZ? (1.9L, mechanically injected)
The AAZ(TD) is a pre chamber diesel and the TDI is a direct injection engine with a ECU controlled injection pump. This guy has made a mTDI the m is the mechanical pump like a AAZ would have (No ECU).
how did you tune the pump for the engine? or did you but too many questions for now
+Stephanie Kirby It's not tuned yet.
adjust pump timing using hammer method
How did you time the injectors firing?
the injection pump does the job.
Did you ever use it? Want to sell it? I want to put it on my stump grinder
Any for sale?
Is there a manual injection pump conversion for the 3 cylinder TDI?
Not yet, we custom made the plates.
yup if ever my injection pump dies in my 04 golf im buying a 500$ beater to get to work and back and in the work shop my dub goes for what you just did was wondering if the older pump could go on a tdi drive by wire sucks
