  • A look at the VAG group 1.9TDi engine, and the best mods and tuning upgrades for it.
    Engines covered in this tuning guide include....
    PRE PD - 1Z, AHU, AGR, AHH, ALE, ALH, AFN, AHF, ASV, AVG
    PD engines - BSU, BRU, BXF, BXJ, ANU, ATD, AXR, BEW, BMT, AVB, AVQ, BSW, BJB, BKC, BLS, BSV, BXE, BPZ, AJM, ATJ, AUY, BVK, AWX, ASZ, AVF, BLT, ARL, BTB, BPX, BUK
    These were fitted to the A3, Golf, Passat, A4, Polo, A1, Fabia, Leon, Ibiza and other popular models from the VW Audi (VAG) group.
    Differentials - increasing the diff on FWD vehicles powered by the 1.9TDi engine allows you to put more power down.
    Mapping - remapping offers the largest cost reduction, however aftermarket ECUs and piggyback ECUs are also options.
    Turbocharger modifications, particularly forced induction and hybrid turbo upgrades, are the most efficient method to boost air supply, enabling you to burn more gasoline and produce more power. It is one of the most expensive modifications, but it delivers the finest results.
    We look at turbo swaps and turbo upgrades on the 1.9TDi and help you decide on a hybrid turbo or turbo upgrade for your project.
    For more power improvements, the injectors and fuel pump will need to be upgraded. Upgrades to the intercooler - the factory intercoolers are restrictive while running maps, so switch in an FMIC that flows better and resists heat soak for a longer period of time.

    The main thing that I like about this video is how you actually say the upper limits of stock parts... it's quite easy to get sucked into feeling like you need to change every single part because you've remapped your car... but actually being able to appreciate that unless you're going significantly beyond factory spec, the stock parts will hold out just fine.

    i have a bora 1.9 AJM. Has a garrett GT1749V and recently remapped it making 1.3bar boost, putting out about 153hp to the wheels with 418NM tq which starts at about 2000rpm. Always the quickest off the line and highway driving is so much better!

    I’ve said in previous vids I have a 2003 bug with the ATD 100. I can get it remapped by a good friend but I took a look at TDI tuning you mentioned. £199 for my engine 👍🏼 But I was having a poke around yesterday checking my oil etc. I have oil in my egr and intercooler pipes. I’m gutted as I know what I have to buy now before thinking of a remap 🐌 😢
    But when I do it I’ll be cleaning the intake and all. Summer job, I hope it lasts, it’s 28 March today.
    Great info yet again 👍🏼

I am thinking of a Stage 1 tune, and maybe an intake or an exhaust aswell, but am unsure. Just want it to sound nicer and have a bit more punch. I have watched the video 3 times over and I can’t decide what is best to do first

    Great video! In UK (and likely elsewhere) no 1.9 TDI had a DPF. Also a minor point but the engine you show in the background of the list of engines and turbos is a later 2.0 TDI CR DPF one :)

    • @torquecars
      @torquecars  7 місяців тому

      That was originally my understanding but I found there were a few 1.9 TDi engines out there which had a DPF The various parts catalogues confirmed this (see BM11051 for example), and I've even known some people to fit these aftermarket (why on earth would they do that!). The Golf BLS (10/03-11/08) engine met Euro 4 with it's DPF and also the fairly common Volkswagen Transporter AXB AXC BRR BRS engines typically also had DPF's.
      Good spot on the engine, my library of footage on the 1.9 TDi is very limited and we only use original footage where we can. I am trying to build our library of footage to further increase our accuracy. I just wish I shot more video when I had cars in.

  • @NightwishArena
    @NightwishArena 5 місяців тому

    Great video! I'm not currently even thinking about tuning my 255,000 miles driven 1.9TDI, which only had 105HP from the factory (and some of those horses are either dead or escaped by now 🙃). But I subscribed to your channel, as there seems to be a lot of great stuff here. One thing I want to point out is, that you might experience traction issues even with 105HP if you have cheap Chinese tyres...or there is snow or ice on the road, which we very often have in Finland 😉

    • @TheBlaert
      @TheBlaert 4 місяці тому

      If it's a Passat I'd get a remap done. The 100bhp ones I've found are just too underpowered for the size of the car. I remapped my dads which has 230k miles and it transformed it. Also it left it easier on fuel too

    Great job delivering such an informative content to all VAG lovers.
    If the time allows you I would like to kindly ask for a recomendation: I’ve got my VW Passsat 1.9 TDI, AVB engine and looking to upgrade the original Turbo to a hybrid one who will push the power to 170HP(according to the garage who’ll do the upgrade) + the right Soft in order to perform well.
    My question is: does the stock injectors will need to be replace or they do perform well at this kind of power?
    Much appreciate in advance your time taken to reply💪🏼.

    • @torquecars
      @torquecars  Рік тому +7

      I would definitely upgrade the injectors on the 101ps, some people get away with stock ones at 170 but they are in my opinion reaching the upper limits and starting to flag.

    Thank you for great video. Subscribed.
    I have a golf mk4 1.9 AxR, at the moment it has a light remap with electronic egr off and rev limit at 4600rpm. This is with the stock Garret 1749V. I also have the catalyst removed, which is not a problem in my area for now.
    I think I want to boost it up a bit more though, maybe 150-170 hp and I am looking into getting the turbo from 131hp which is garret 1749VA. Also maybe a high flow air filter and front intercooler. Do you think that makes sense and should I go also for injectors from 131hp? Also do you think I will need a better differential? Also, should I think about a downpipe change?
    Cheers

    • @torquecars
      @torquecars  Рік тому +2

      Those upgrades all sound like a very good idea. I doub't you'll need a diff though, this is required around the 200hp and up levels. Check the head bolts are the stronger ones, @darksidedevelopments offer some decent head bolt upgrades.

    • @torquecars
      @torquecars  Рік тому

      It depends on how the engine has been looked after. I would probably set a 25% power hike as a reasonable goal for most of these, you'll get more if it is in good condition but I would prefer to play it safe on an older higher mileage engine. I actually discussed the options for older diesels with higher mileages in this video ua-cam.com/video/Ic-eQhUY83o/v-deo.html

  • @A2J_Tim

    I completely deleted all emissions systems from my TDI, I run a 3 inch exhaust, love the turbo whistle sound I get out of it, Its also straight piped, not loud at all. I also am running a stage 3 camshaft and a tune, im not pushing the boost too much though as I still have the stock head bolts and the turbo is a 1756, its a little laggy compared to stock but not to bad.

    Thanks!

    • @torquecars
      @torquecars  Рік тому +3

      Fuelling, turbo and remap, stronger head bolts and an intercooler upgrade. Bear in mind you'll get major traction issues at 200hp in most cars with the 1.9Tdi fitted (FWD) so for more than this a diff upgrade will help but I'd recommend a slightly lower power is more reachable, usable and much more cost effective.

      Yes the aftermarket air filers do tend to get over oiled, a very very light misting is all that is needed. I should probably do a video on this topic warning people of these problems and issues. To be honest I never oil mine when I use them at service time, just a good rinse under the tap which I do before I fit a new one anyway.

    Hey, I own mk5 1.9tdi 90 remapped to around 136hp and I wonder how much hp/nm can the original clutch hold , cause i think to do a turbo upgrade from the original KKK to 1749v. Any suggestions?

    • @torquecars
      @torquecars  Рік тому

      Stock clutches will vary depending on their age and condition. A stock clutch should be good for around 225hp on most of these, but I have known them to start slipping and also I've known some to be able to handle much more power. For most projects I would do the map & upgrades and if the clutch is slipping then get it sorted. If it holds you are quids in. Even if the clutch is slipping a little you can drive it gently until you get it replaced.

    Used it as a daily driver in Norfolk and playing with traffic on A11, very good on fuel.
    Engine starts instantly and sounds like clockwork.
    Gave it to my Dad who used it to pull trailer, also reported good on fuel but he gave it back because Mum was scared of it, (parents both in their 70's).

    I live in India and drive a skoda Octavia 2 with the 74KW (PD105) 1.9tdi from 2007 with deleted AGR and no catalytic converter because it is here not required for vehicles before 2010. What do you think about this piggyback’s instead of a remapping? I don’t have a chip tuner in my aria and I don’t know how to write a code with VAG suite. Because of our hot and humid weather in south India my friend got me an much bigger intercooler, which I mounted in the middle between the fogglights into my modified RS bumper. He brought me as well a combination of alloy pipes and silicon pipes to exchange the original boost and intake side. Now I have the same power all day. Before the car was in the night and early morning much faster than in the hot times of the day.
    Can u recommend any tuning box to make around 120ps and 30(+)nm ? Great videos and always very interesting and informative ! Namaste 🙏

    • @torquecars
      @torquecars  Рік тому

      I used one from TDi tuning which worked well for me, but I've not tried out any others. Another option is to get the VAG cable and software and download your map and send it to a tuner for modification and flash it back on your engine. There are a few people in the UK offering remaps by email in this way blacksmoke was one of them a friend of mine recommended, but I don't think they are still trading, and some companies offer custom maps in the tuning box they post out (jfa automotive etc...).

      TDI BV39 is the stock spec replacement and I would recommend the GTB1756VK (spools up peak around 2650rpm) or GT5052 (spools up peak around 2000rpm) both of these give fairly good low end response and work well in FWD setups.
      . injectors on the PD105 will need uprating at 170bhp.-- Read more at: www.torquecars.com/volkswagen/1-9-tdi-tuning.php

      Is this a TIG weld, MIG welds are prone to fail more frequently on hot exhausts and are not as clean internally as a TIG would be.
      Does your flex pipe have a lined interlock? Is the weld splitting on the edge or cracking on the weld itself?

      Hi there, these get confusing don't they. The pd number is based on PS so multiply hp by 1.014 to get the PS equivalent. Sorry I didn't include this on the remap chart, and this engine slipped off my radar. If you remap this one you should see around 130 to 135hp and around 275 nm of torque. Quite a nice power hike!

I'm wondering on going with a quick tunning remap and see if I can add those 35hp so I can sit on the 140HP for the moment. Did a full service on it : changed all fluids and filters.. but stll not sure whether I should be checking an specifc parts or replacing anything in prep for this quick tunning or if stock parts can handle the job prety well. Any advice? Its a BLS version engine and has 160,000km.

    • @torquecars

      You should be fine with a modest remap. The clutch is the likely weakspot but at that mileage it is quite likely it has been recently replaced anyway. It is worth doing a check for fault codes and seeing if there are any boost leaks. Some do a compression test as well.

    Good video! Subscribed! I own a 1997 Jeep Wrangler that has a 1.9 TDI out of a 2005 VW Bora in it. Stage 1 tune, EGR delete (legal where I live), A2W FMIC. The original KKK turbo just went out in it and I'm looking for a drop in replacement and possibly, a little upgrade. As most of the driving I do is "crawling", at lower speeds, I'm much more interested in torque than horsepower and the lower in the RPM band the better. The GT1749VB has been recommended, as well as the GT1749V (I'm not really sure about the difference?!?) and a certain TDI shop in the UK has recommended a different VNT-17 hybrid or, alternatively, the GT1752v. I have very low gears so again, high HP isn't what I need, although something over the original 100HP might be nice. Recommendations? Thanks in advance!

    • @torquecars
      @torquecars  Рік тому +4

      The VB compresses slightly more air than the V version but the difference is so small you can regard them as the same thing. It's something like 4ccm extra. I would recommend the smaller compressor wheels for low end torque and faster spool up (generally speaking) so the 1749 over a 1752 for example. Mapping makes more of a difference to the torque than the turbo really and most mappers will put that power where you need it most. The Hybrid VNT17 is a very good unit indeed, but you need to look at the RPM range for the boost and compare these, you want the boost to start quite early on.

    • @t.sb_0570
      @t.sb_0570 Рік тому +1

      GT1749V is the stock turbo on the PD115 and pd100. GT1749VB is stock on the pd150.
      VB runs at slightly higher pressures, but honestly they're the same.
      the GT1749V is easier to find than the VB kind so best to look for an used GT1749V. Look for AJM/AUY engines, they are the most popular in my experience.
      gt1749V has a LOT of torque down low(my bora 1.9 AJM also has GT1749V and makes 1.3bar at 2800rpm spitting 153HP, but down at 2000rpm it's already pushing 418NM thru the wheels.)

      If you notice a lot of vibration from the engine through to the transmission I would get something done to remedy this if it annoys you as a driver. It is one of those things that are more annoying than harmful, although it will increase some wear and tear on the gearbox potentially I feel this is a fairly small risk. Also if the flywheel is lighter it might rev more freely and this is a tradeoff you might be prepared to make.
      If you were deciding on a replacement I'd go with DMF every time, but if it a case of replacing something for the sake of it I don't think it is worth the expense or inconvenience.

    I'm looking at a remap, but as a daily driver, I'm not sure I need/want to do anymore than this, what are your thoughts on the OEM setup? What else could I do to get the most out of it before breaking the car and bank! Thanks in advance.

    • @torquecars
      @torquecars  Рік тому +1

      The PD150 is a very good base to have, I think you'll be happy with just a remap on that. Turbo injectors and clutch are all pretty solid. Avoid too much low end power though, you want to peak around 2200-2400 rpm IMHO on those engines. Clutches may struggle but this is a service thing and if it struggles with a remap it was probably on it's last legs anyway. The other mod I would recommend is the suspension, this is not great on a stock Mk4, and there are some superb options around out there. Bear in mind the diesel is heavier than a lot of petrol versions so choose a good quality coilover kit.
