pd or not

Yours is a non-pd. PD has a pump on each injector and is operated with a cam. Just a different type of injection system. Non-PD would be the opposite! Normal TDI has a variable fuel pump and PD doent, although dont remember the name for the PD one.
Briefly 
The earliest VAG TDI engines, TDI 90 and TDI 110, are non-PD. They use a conventional diesel distributor pump system driven off the toothed cambelt. Injection quantity and timing are set at the pump and each injector has a separate feed line from the pump.
The more recent VAG TDIs, including 100, 105, 115, 130, 150 and 160 BHP engines, are PD (Pumpe Duese, best translated as Pump Injector). Fuel is distributed by a low-pressure pump and common fuel rail to individual injector assemblies attached to each cylinder head. Injection quantity and timing is set at the injector. Stripped of all their complex engineering detail, the injectors are just like a stirrup pump or a syringe squirting fuel through a spray head into the cylinder. Of course, the complex engineering detail is what makes it work reliably for hundreds of thousands of miles
The injectors are driven by extra lobes on the single camshaft. These lobes are very high-lift, and even though the cam followers have rollers, they are very highly stressed and require special high-grade oil to avoid premature wear.
There was a PD TDI 90 but apparantly it was only fitted to VW Sharans.
All of these engines have their injection timing and quantity parameters finely tuned by electronic actuators that modify the basic mechanical delivery.
The best way to tell whether your engine is PD or not is by engine code, but I haven't found a list yet which distinguishes between PD and non-PD TDI engines. I might put one together - but not today, the boss might notice

BJC 53 72AHF was also used in Audi A3 and early Golf IV GTTDI. Another thing to note is only the TDI 90 has a wastegate turbo, all others, including the PD engines, have a VNT turbo.
Interesting how the 130 engines are listed as "131" bhp in that list.
I thought they were actually rated at 130 PS (~128bhp)

Probably a conversion from kW & then rounded up.

Yep, Elsawin only quotes kW so the HP figure is an excel conversion, as we're all more familiar with horespower.

can someone please confirm whether a injector from AFN engine will be the same as the injectors in my ASV engine

The easiest way is to bend your ass over and look at the floor under the drivers seat
All PD's have a return to tank fuel cooler strapped their as the fuel is way to hot to go back in the tank otherwise
