Is there a 2.0 block which will work?

[WW_VRS]

Hi,

I am having some grief with my engine at the moment, and one of the possibilities is that the block (1.9 liter PD) is damaged (haircrack type scenario).

I have a baffled sump for my PD130 (1.9) which I definitely want to keep.

Has anyone here dropped a 2.0 block under a 1.9 head or know someone who has?

It might not happen but I am interested in any posts you might have links to on this topic, experiences with it, and a rough costing if you happen to have it.

If the engine is still going wrong after the current set of repairs I will seriously have to consider my options, it could be a matter of swapping in a second hand PD130 engine OR going down this kinda route. The labour will be expensive either way, so looking at options.

Thanks for your help on this

If you're thinking of using a 2.0 TDI block I doubt it would work as the latter engines are 16V, whereas the old 1.9s are 8V. I imagined you could have a decent condition 1.9 block bored out if necessary?

Also just found out there is a 2.0PD8V block but it is different fit so that won't work either

No idea if you could safely bore one out, will ask about that too

have u checked the part numbers of the bare blocks ( 1.9 and 2.0) on ETKA , could be the same thing with just a different stroke to give it the extra 0.1litre

worth a punt ,. could mean you could bolt a 1.9 head onto the 2.0block

easy peasy , more investigation required

I havent got ETKA - will ask around a bit though

You need block 2,0 8V form BGW or BHW engine from Passat. It is only one block 2,0 with place for a inductive sensor for crankshaft. The rest of 2,0 has a place for hall sensor wich is completly different. The head in BGW and BHW is the same as in 1,9.

Why don`t you just get another block? They are cheap as chip secondhand and easy to get hold of. I just sold my PD 160 block to another site member.

I might get another block, although only IF it is found I need one after the current round of repairs

Thanks Compsport for that, sounds like I might have to hunt one down with that engine code

Not sure how different the older tdi's and the new pd's are.

But is might be worth chatting with Simon Cooper of Central VW Audi. He had a 2.0 tdi 8v TDi (not pd) for a while.

He used that pistons out of the 5 cylinder TDI i believe.

Hopefully this won't be needed any longer

I think this time round the engine is fixed properly so fingers crossed

Good now get that thing on a dyno and get some serious power out of it. Any news on the new injectors ?

 

[basstard]

you can bore out a 1.9 to 2.0, as said cooper had one for a while [now mojogoes should be owning it].

A 2.0 with 8v? never heard of such engine,,, some more info please! [hp, models on which it is on etc. etc.]

I thought all those were 140hp 16v,,,

thx for the info

[so where are the 16v installed on??]

The car will be at APS and is going on the rollers after they're happy it's behaving. Then it should hit a good 200bhp, probably nudging 220ish, based on this turbo & engine combo.

Injectors wise, no news yet, I am not chasing it up too hard though as I'm quite skint right now. I am expecting the new injectors sometime in February though, all going well

The EGT sensor/gauge has arrived but I forgot to drop it off @ APS which kinda sux, so that's gonna be a next-phase fit, which hopefully can be arranged soon
