Hey Darren thank you sir appreciate that 👍 it’s all I’ve ever done since leaving school and I still have passion for it, I do question it thow when I’m wrestling and engine or box on my own 😂.
Great vid as usual! With the dipstick tube if the lower half is the metal press-in sort then this may be able to be removed and replaced with a plastic tube that’s shaped and moves the dipstick back towards the engine. The plastic one bolts into the block at its base. It’s easier to remove the metal tube by tapping it out from underneath with the sump off. This is what I had to do fitting a golf bkc into a caddy with a broken bls- some of your earlier vids were a great help with this project. Thanks!
Hi jec, yes the bottom half was a metal press it. Yes I know the one your on about actually, the plastic bit I got fit onto what was there and I warmed it up with a heat gun and it sits perfect now I’ll show it in the next video. Thanks for the little tip mate 👍

@@YTDTETV , already got the replacement. T6.1 panel van, which is being converted to a camper. Doing some bits myself, but it’s in next week for pop top, windows, carpeting and floor. Leaving that stuff to the experts 😂
@@ianduckworth9925 oooo very nice 👍 what engine does it have? I don’t blame you with pop top or windows I’d be nervous of taking a grinder to the roof or side panel to 😂 carpet lining isn’t hard but it does take some effort.
@@YTDTETV did the windows myself on the T5.1, but can’t be bothered with the stress this time round 😂. Engine is just the 110 BHP 5 speed manual. Seems to go well, be will get remapped once the VW warranty ends. Will go to 180 BHP. Did similar with the T5.1 4.5 years ago, from 101 to ~170, without any issues whatsoever. Put ~40k on the clock in that time, so not worried about doing same with the T6.1.
@@ianduckworth9925 oh man your so right about window tinting that takes some effort to, I’ve done most jobs and there’s a handfull I’d still get someone else to do. That’s a nice power increase I’m hoping to get something similar from this one. Not after massive power just a little extra umph!!
Hey Chris thank you maté hopefully the video is useful I just bought it from eBay, was around £100 just type what turbo it is then the word chra as that’s what they are called for some reason 👍
Well I’m in a world of pain as you say 😂. Just don’t my injector seals with new bolts & they’ve jumped the thread at 270 degrees 🤦🏻♂️ tried the next one at 180 and the same again. Currently looking to upgrade to a asv engine.
Hi Lee oh man sorry to hear that, with injectors I don’t normally go by torque settings for that exact reason as the threads are so small and the bolts are so weak. I just use a 3/8 ratchet and do the bolts up by holding the ratchet by the head with one hand and do them tight rather than 2 hands on a ratchet. That way you can over tighten or strip the threads as your holding the ratchet with the smallest leverage point. I’ve never had an injector leak and I’ve never stripped one. What mileage is your engine on? If it’s below 200k it might be an idea just to replace the cylinder head.
Got my ASZ engine in..is there a generic map for these. I went and asked revo remaps and they won’t touch it. I’ve left the pd130 injectors in & kept my old 105 turbo
Hi Nathan love the videos!! wondering if you can help me, will be doing the same swap soon just wondered if any mapping / coding was needed after the conversion with now having pd130 injectors ect
Sadly I have just bought a T5 that now needs a new engine. I'm wonderful what the costs are to supply and fit . Or is it possible for for someone with no mechanics knowledge to fit the new engine
Hi bud sorry to hear that, so the engine is a straight swap with only minor modifications needed so someone with half decent skills should be able to do it 👍
Stumbled on this channel, I love the little tips and tricks you share, you have great knowledge. Question- I have a 2010 t5.1 carevelle DSG, only 50k on the clock. When I am driving around town I can hear a low gas pressure noise, not loud, sounds a bit like a steam/air sound. When I parked up the other day, blue/grey exhaust smoke expelled from underneath the engine area. Only has done this once, it looks dry underneath, turbo is only two years old and clean. What do you think it could be?
Hi bud thank you appreciate the comment 👍 is your van air con? Do you use it? If so next time you hear the noise turn the ac off and see if the noise has gone. Had a a few customers recently ask that and that’s what it turned out to be.
@@YTDTETV Hi yes it is AC, however I very rarely run it as it’s freezing over in Northern Ireland. However I will put it on and off tomorrow to see if there is any difference. Thanks for the reply 👍
Hi bud thank you any 1.9pd will fit it’s just a case of some having an oil filter housing that pokes out more you can see the difference just looking at them. Both engines fit but the bigger oil filter housing ones need a slim Line radiator fan instead of the oem one.
@@YTDTETV thank you Nathan I was wondering did the turbo piping on the metal pipe side and the other side end up ok? Also I was thinking about all the sensors . Ie crank and cam and it other sensors . Should I just swap them all over . I lm asking a lot of questions but this is my first attempt at this and it’s daunting . I’m just a diyer. I was also thinking of just mapping the injectors rather than dig in there so I’m gonna look for a file or take it somewhere to do it . I hope yours turned out well Nathan
I see you mention about the oil cooler being different on the original engine compared to some ASZ engines, I assume by what your saying that they aren't interchangeable. Loving the clean engine bay too 👌
Very interesting indeed.... I have an 05 transporter at the moment with the 2.5 axd engine. The engine is out and in bits at the moment because a piece of baffle plate broke off in the sump and wreaked havoc on a few cylinders. I am getting a quote for liners but am now wondering what would be involved in putting a pd 130/150 into the 5 cylinder model. Any advice 🤔
Hey James I see so many horror stories about the 2.5, to fit the 1.9 you need the engine and gearbox as your gearbox has a different bolt pattern, engine loom and ecu. It’s a fair few parts but the 1.9 is so much more reliable than the 2.5. Hope that helps
Just want to ask i have 1.9 cdti sri insignia was driving and engine locked up took belt cover off and looked like belt had jumped 13 teeth 😢 so sent it to garage said bottom end has gone told oil seal and oil pump must of gone and locked engine up that what caused belt to jump qhen it locked i had this car a week its has 87000 miles what would it cost to sort rufly ? I know it needs cambelt kit new oil pump and oil seal thats in the sumppluss bottom end and probably valves as probably bent if pistons smashed into them. And where are you bassed. Love this channel and the work you do
@@YTDTETV thank you for replying yes its not good at all I knew that was going to be the answer was just being optimistic lol never mind ay £2500 literally down the drain. Carnt wait for your next video pal 👍
Hey simon so you must have the asz with the larger oil filter housing, there’s 2 types and unfortunately they don’t fit either engines. I’m pretty sure the oil filter housing clears the rad fan but it is close. You can still use the engine it’s just close to the fan.
Hi finished my asz swap today in my t5 axb.. it won't start do I need to put my axb injectors in or should it start with the asz injectors I haven't swapped the out? Any help appreciated 🙏 thanks
Hi bud it should still start on the 130 injectors but will run abit lumpy and Smokey, is the fuel filter definitely full? Does it fire up on abit of easy start? Have you got an code reader? Check see if you have RPM signal while cranking. Did you have to do the block mod for the crank sensor or where they the same?
@YTDTETV thanks for the reply I plugged it in it says injector problem no signal? I didn't try Easy Start ill try that now.. fuel pumps priming it's cranking but winter fire up has plenty of fuel.
@@pauljames7399 have you definitely got the injector loom plugged in right on the end of the head? It’s the big round plug. When you plug it in check to see if there’s an RPM signal to confirm the crank sensor is all good.
Yes 👍 apart from that they are identical, you can use the golf asz engine for the conversion but the oil filter housing does sit close to the radiator fan but it does still fit.
Thanks a lot 👍🏼 looking to do the same conversion I have a 1.9 t5 axb engine shes gettin a little worn out performance wise, love the videos, best on TH-cam by a long shot, keep it up,
@@Dafr-c18 thank you mate really appreciate that, I’m super happy with the new engine in this so I definitely recommend it, is a pleasure so far working in the T5. Everything apart from the rear engine mount was working from the top which is nice.
Hi mate, in regards to the coolant pipes to the oil cooler, where did you connect the second pile to as the asz doesn’t have the coolant outlet on the block like the brr engine.

Hey bud so I’m an eBay man I did have to keep looking for a few weeks for one to show up 👍 there’s loads of golf asz about but they have the wrong oil filter housing the Skoda Fabia ones are the exact same as the T5 engine so wait till one comes up 👍👍
@@YTDTETV Cheers for the reply, managed to get ahold of one to be picked up in the new year, so within the next month or so she’ll be back on the road 🤞
Hi, sorry if it has been asked before, firstly is there a difference in the oil pick up pipes and Did you have to swap the rocker cover and inlet manifold for the original ones?
Hey bud yes the dipsticks are different and I couldn’t get the new tube out and didn’t want to damage it so just stuck with the new one. Ye I fitted the T5 rocker cover, I think the inlets are the same but just incase I did fit the T5 one to.
YTDTETV thanks for replying! Great video. We're doing the conversion and seem to be hitting loads of problems, it's the oil pick up pipe I mean not the dipstick, we took the sump off the old engine and then scrapped the rest of the engine as we didnt think anything was needed, looking at the original pipe it looks the same as the pd pipe but is there a difference?. Also the rear engine mount is hitting the turbo, did you have this issue or are there different turbos for the pd130 as my fitter is saying there's 2 different types. Thanks again for your help
Hi Chris thank you for that mate really appreciate the comment, so it is possibly for sale when done. The mrs likes it but we don’t need another van we have 3 already,
Hi bud thank you 👍 you can run it on the 130 injectors yes but it runs lumpy on idle and smokes abit. You can then get someone to remap it but they need to remap it properly as the furling maps need changing to 130 injectors. I ended up fitting the original injectors as I wasn’t after a power increase and it runs absolute mint 👍

Hi Lee oh man sorry to hear that, with injectors I don’t normally go by torque settings for that exact reason as the threads are so small and the bolts are so weak. I just use a 3/8 ratchet and do the bolts up by holding the ratchet by the head with one hand and do them tight rather than 2 hands on a ratchet. That way you can over tighten or strip the threads as your holding the ratchet with the smallest leverage point. I’ve never had an injector leak and I’ve never stripped one. What mileage is your engine on? If it’s below 200k it might be an idea just to replace the cylinder head.
@@YTDTETV engine is on 180k, done the head gasket 5 years ago. I’m looking at a ASZ engine tomorrow (time for an upgrade)
Got my ASZ engine in..is there a generic map for these. I went and asked revo remaps and they won’t touch it. I’ve left the pd130 injectors in & kept my old 105 turbo
Hi Nathan love the videos!! wondering if you can help me, will be doing the same swap soon just wondered if any mapping / coding was needed after the conversion with now having pd130 injectors ect
Do you want any air con parts? I’ve removed the motor part already but all the rest is still in place, pipe works rad etc
got some stance coiloves if you want them? they are used obviously...
Hey Daniel thank you mate appreciate that 👍 I don’t want to lower it to much just a little drop on springs will be enough. Thank you for the offer 👍
Sadly I have just bought a T5 that now needs a new engine. I'm wonderful what the costs are to supply and fit . Or is it possible for for someone with no mechanics knowledge to fit the new engine
Hi bud sorry to hear that, so the engine is a straight swap with only minor modifications needed so someone with half decent skills should be able to do it 👍
Turbo pipe I had look at my 2.0 looks like has a shorter pipe from the turbo to the intercooler not sure if the fittings are the same
Hey Alex thank you for letting me know about your pipe I’m going to Google search and look at them now 👍
thank mate really enjoying this series AH YE
Hey James thank you mate appreciate that 👍
Stumbled on this channel, I love the little tips and tricks you share, you have great knowledge. Question- I have a 2010 t5.1 carevelle DSG, only 50k on the clock. When I am driving around town I can hear a low gas pressure noise, not loud, sounds a bit like a steam/air sound. When I parked up the other day, blue/grey exhaust smoke expelled from underneath the engine area. Only has done this once, it looks dry underneath, turbo is only two years old and clean. What do you think it could be?
Hi bud thank you appreciate the comment 👍 is your van air con? Do you use it? If so next time you hear the noise turn the ac off and see if the noise has gone. Had a a few customers recently ask that and that’s what it turned out to be.
@@YTDTETV Hi yes it is AC, however I very rarely run it as it’s freezing over in Northern Ireland. However I will put it on and off tomorrow to see if there is any difference. Thanks for the reply 👍
Did u manage to get the intercooler pipes sorted
Hi bud yes they all fit nicely now 👍
@@YTDTETV how u sort it out?
Content top notch mate great viewing
Thank you Jack appreciate that mate 👍
nice one long time coming i have t 5 .1 full suspension brand new
Hey bondi good to hear from you bud, the front shocks on this are shot I’m in need of replacements.
i have the two suspension legs complete 40 pounds u pay post on top if any good to u
@@darranbond3448 yes please bud I would appreciate that, my email address is ndautos24a@gmail.com. Thank you 👍
Hi Nathan
Great video .
Could you tell me if the engine has to be from the fabia vrs or will the atd beetle engine work as well?
Thank you
Hi bud thank you any 1.9pd will fit it’s just a case of some having an oil filter housing that pokes out more you can see the difference just looking at them. Both engines fit but the bigger oil filter housing ones need a slim Line radiator fan instead of the oem one.
@@YTDTETV thank you Nathan
I was wondering did the turbo piping on the metal pipe side and the other side end up ok?
Also I was thinking about all the sensors . Ie crank and cam and it other sensors .
Should I just swap them all over .
I lm asking a lot of questions but this is my first attempt at this and it’s daunting . I’m just a diyer.
I was also thinking of just mapping the injectors rather than dig in there so I’m gonna look for a file or take it somewhere to do it .
I hope yours turned out well Nathan
New subscriber, A1 content. I'm riveted - keep up the great work 👍
Hey John thank you mate appreciate that, glad you found and enjoy the channel 👍
I see you mention about the oil cooler being different on the original engine compared to some ASZ engines, I assume by what your saying that they aren't interchangeable.
Loving the clean engine bay too 👌
Hey Brendan yes they are interchangeable 👍 thank you
Fantastic thorough content bud fair play 👍
Did you go from a brr to the asz if so did you need to drill a hole in the block or just swap sump ect
Hi bud mine was an early one so didn’t need to drill a hole for the crank sensor, just swapped the sump etc
@@YTDTETV cheers mate iv got a 2007 brr and want the asz hopfully dnt have to drill a hole
Nice one very enjoyable watch
Thank you ray 👍
Very interesting indeed.... I have an 05 transporter at the moment with the 2.5 axd engine. The engine is out and in bits at the moment because a piece of baffle plate broke off in the sump and wreaked havoc on a few cylinders. I am getting a quote for liners but am now wondering what would be involved in putting a pd 130/150 into the 5 cylinder model. Any advice 🤔
Hey James I see so many horror stories about the 2.5, to fit the 1.9 you need the engine and gearbox as your gearbox has a different bolt pattern, engine loom and ecu. It’s a fair few parts but the 1.9 is so much more reliable than the 2.5. Hope that helps
@@YTDTETV thanks for getting back that's good advice 😀
Just want to ask i have 1.9 cdti sri insignia was driving and engine locked up took belt cover off and looked like belt had jumped 13 teeth 😢 so sent it to garage said bottom end has gone told oil seal and oil pump must of gone and locked engine up that what caused belt to jump qhen it locked i had this car a week its has 87000 miles what would it cost to sort rufly ? I know it needs cambelt kit new oil pump and oil seal thats in the sumppluss bottom end and probably valves as probably bent if pistons smashed into them. And where are you bassed. Love this channel and the work you do
Hey Dean oh that’s not good sorry to hear that, maybe easier to find a replacement engine. I’m in deal in Kent.
@@YTDTETV thank you for replying yes its not good at all I knew that was going to be the answer was just being optimistic lol never mind ay £2500 literally down the drain. Carnt wait for your next video pal 👍
Great video what turbo did you end up using I no you reused the housing looking great so far
Hey Karl thank you 👍 turbo is a GT1749VA from the pd 130.
Hi I'm doing an asz swap from a golf. Apparently the oil filter housing fouls the radiator fan did you change yours. Cheers Simon
Hey simon so you must have the asz with the larger oil filter housing, there’s 2 types and unfortunately they don’t fit either engines. I’m pretty sure the oil filter housing clears the rad fan but it is close. You can still use the engine it’s just close to the fan.
Hi mate great vid I did this conversion on my t5 best thing I ever did what did you do about the dip stick? Did you keep the asz dipstick in?
hey bud thank you appreciate that, Yes I left the ASZ dipstick and just cut a small piece out of the front engine mount.
Great video, so thorough. Its It just a daft myth that those pd heads can't or shouldn't be skimmed?
Hi bud thank you appreciate that 👍 I’ve seen people mention this and I’ve also seen a lot of them be skimmed so I’m unsure
Great content mate, can't wait for the next one 👍
Hey Campbell thank you mate appreciate that 👍 already started the next video so regular content to follow
Hi finished my asz swap today in my t5 axb.. it won't start do I need to put my axb injectors in or should it start with the asz injectors I haven't swapped the out? Any help appreciated 🙏 thanks
Hi bud it should still start on the 130 injectors but will run abit lumpy and Smokey, is the fuel filter definitely full? Does it fire up on abit of easy start? Have you got an code reader? Check see if you have RPM signal while cranking. Did you have to do the block mod for the crank sensor or where they the same?
@YTDTETV thanks for the reply I plugged it in it says injector problem no signal? I didn't try Easy Start ill try that now.. fuel pumps priming it's cranking but winter fire up has plenty of fuel.
@YTDTETV crank sensors looked the same so put in my axb sensor
@@pauljames7399 have you definitely got the injector loom plugged in right on the end of the head? It’s the big round plug. When you plug it in check to see if there’s an RPM signal to confirm the crank sensor is all good.
@YTDTETV yeah I did the looms plugged properly ill check the needle thanks
Max respect.
Is the only difference between the golf asz engine vs the Fabia asz engine the oil filter housing
Yes 👍 apart from that they are identical, you can use the golf asz engine for the conversion but the oil filter housing does sit close to the radiator fan but it does still fit.
Thanks a lot 👍🏼 looking to do the same conversion I have a 1.9 t5 axb engine shes gettin a little worn out performance wise, love the videos, best on TH-cam by a long shot, keep it up,
@@Dafr-c18 thank you mate really appreciate that, I’m super happy with the new engine in this so I definitely recommend it, is a pleasure so far working in the T5. Everything apart from the rear engine mount was working from the top which is nice.
How’s it mate? How would you remove a stripped head flat head bolt behind the heat shield on a mk6 GTi ccz engine
Hi bud is it possible to weld a nit over the snapped stud? That be my first choice.
Hi mate, in regards to the coolant pipes to the oil cooler, where did you connect the second pile to as the asz doesn’t have the coolant outlet on the block like the brr engine.
Hi bud the 2nd pipe is in the metal pipe instead of the block, does this make sense?
@@YTDTETV hi mate, I have one running into the outlet on the metal pipe on the right, the one on the left has the pipe for the expansion bottle and there the only two outlets I have on the front 😫

Hey bud that would be awesome I havnt spiced anything yet my email address is ndautos24a@gmail.com thank you 👍
Great stuff bro awesome watching your vids
Hey bud thank you really appreciate that 👍
Alright Nathan, do you know where i can source in as asz for the T5 swap, had one lined up but fell through 😢
Hey bud so I’m an eBay man I did have to keep looking for a few weeks for one to show up 👍 there’s loads of golf asz about but they have the wrong oil filter housing the Skoda Fabia ones are the exact same as the T5 engine so wait till one comes up 👍👍
@@YTDTETV Cheers for the reply, managed to get ahold of one to be picked up in the new year, so within the next month or so she’ll be back on the road 🤞
Hi, sorry if it has been asked before, firstly is there a difference in the oil pick up pipes and Did you have to swap the rocker cover and inlet manifold for the original ones?
Hey bud yes the dipsticks are different and I couldn’t get the new tube out and didn’t want to damage it so just stuck with the new one. Ye I fitted the T5 rocker cover, I think the inlets are the same but just incase I did fit the T5 one to.
YTDTETV thanks for replying! Great video. We're doing the conversion and seem to be hitting loads of problems, it's the oil pick up pipe I mean not the dipstick, we took the sump off the old engine and then scrapped the rest of the engine as we didnt think anything was needed, looking at the original pipe it looks the same as the pd pipe but is there a difference?.
Also the rear engine mount is hitting the turbo, did you have this issue or are there different turbos for the pd130 as my fitter is saying there's 2 different types. Thanks again for your help
Great video again. Love all the step by step explanations. Is this going to be up for sale when you're done? If it is I'm definitely interested!
Hi Chris thank you for that mate really appreciate the comment, so it is possibly for sale when done. The mrs likes it but we don’t need another van we have 3 already,
Did you keep the original t5 engine loom ? And engine calculator ?
Hi bud yes original wiring loom and ecu 👍 runs great
Nice one as always great job m8 💪
Hey bud thank you really appreciate that 👍
Another great video thanks for showing👍👍
Hey Stephen thank you mate appreciate that 👍
Great video, I’m about to do this, quick question, did you remap it for the bigger 130 injectors before starting it. Sounds mint 👍👍👍
Hi bud thank you 👍 you can run it on the 130 injectors yes but it runs lumpy on idle and smokes abit. You can then get someone to remap it but they need to remap it properly as the furling maps need changing to 130 injectors. I ended up fitting the original injectors as I wasn’t after a power increase and it runs absolute mint 👍
Did you use the pd130 ecu and wiringloom
No I used the original loom and ecu with the original injectors
@@YTDTETVnice! I am also doing this swap at the moment. Did you go with a dmf or a smf flywheel?
@@louisbolding1004 I used the DMF as the vag gearbox’s rattle a lot with solid flywheels.
