I have heard a story or two that the PD diesel whether it be in 115,
130 or 150 bhp form have had problems and some engines have had to be
replaced [:O]

so in other words is this true and these engines are unreliable or just a myth?

 

[benjie]

pd 110 & 115 I think.

 

[Saxovtrjamii]

so not with the other 130 and 150?

do you no what the problems were and why they have not had any with the 130 and 150?

pd 110 & 115 I think.

PD110?? Diddnt know there was one...

Never heard of any probs with PD Engines apart from a few of the early 130's And I think

they were all sorted under warranty...

 

[benjie]

pd110 was about on a 51 plate. see the posts on the topic "2002 Golf GT TDI"

I'm sure there were a few problems with the lower powered ones, but I'm not sure what they were, sorry!!

There isn't a 110PD!! There was a 100, 115, 130 & 150PD.

I'm not aware of any major faults on the PD engines, my 115 has had no problems at all, along with a alot of members here.

 

[benjie]

There isn't a 110PD!!.

Yes there is. Type in "vw golf 100bhp" into google! If there isn't a 100, A LOT of people have got it wrong.

He said 110 not 100 []

The non PD engines were 90bhp and 110bhp

PD engines were 100bhp, 115bhp, 130bhp, 150bhp.

 

[benjie]

Oh yeah, sorry!! Completely my fault - but I'm sure there's a
110bhp somewhere in VW! Would they have done that on a Golf
Variant or something? Or Passat?

 

[matt747]

VW offered 90 an 110bhp TDI models (not PD though) across the range. These were gradually phased out when PD engines were launched.

 

[benjie]

Ah right! So did 90 become 100pd, and 110 become.. what? 115pd?

 

[Haddock]

Ah right! So did 90 become 100pd, and 110 become.. what? 115pd?

LOL, now who's got the Goldfish memory []

 

[ukdub]

According to what car? the problem was with the 130 bhp model

 

[TIW30]

there was believed to be a problem with the high operating pressure of the injectors contributing to premature bore wear  on PD 130s although as the 100, 115 and 150s use the same injection system I don't know how they reckon 130s suffer and don't mention the others

A lot of engines ended up needing replacement because the wrong oil was used in them. The PD engines are very sensitive to oil type and the wrong one can kill the engine very quickly. It was probably due to confusion over the Extended service intervals and VSI. Apparently cost VW around ?50 million.
