My first car was a 1.9 sdi, 64 horsepower. All of my friends called it the "fat boy" because it was a large engine compared to their 1.0s and it had a 0-60 in 16.5 seconds 😂. This shape with the bug eyes was the same as mine, I've always wanted a tdi version with the bug eyes to make the "fattest boy" and turn it into a beast!

That's mental!! Is it just the PD130 engines the ones that have such tuning potential or all the 1,9 TDI from VAG? My dad had an Audi 80 tdi (1z engine) which I plan to restore/upgrade and I quite like the idea of making it a bit faster, not this Polo levels, but so it can keep up with modern traffic and to overtake more easily.
They all have potential, the PD130 is just a solid platform. You can drop us an email to sales@darksidedevelopments.co.uk with reg/vin and we can see what upgrades we have

I didn’t even realise that VW put the PD130 in this shape Polo! 😅 They must’ve been rare? I’ve just Googled it, and the Fabia was the most common with this engine, then the Ibiza, and the Polo sold the least units. I’ve only driven one car with this engine; in a 04 reg A4, which was ok in a bigger, heavier car. It must feel reasonably quick in a lightweight Polo, even before tuning?

I have the same thing in SA and it is sitting on 467000km. Definitely not in the same shape as that one but still going strong on its first turbo and clutch. I does need new lifters now so I would love to get my hand on one of those cylinder heads.

my polo is cleaner, only problem is it's an 1.9 sdi and picks up speed slower than modern tractor, when it's moving it's ok but could do with a turbo on it so i can overtake tractors and trucks, at the moment i have to wait until i'm going down hill , doubt its possible without changing the engine which i'm not going to do as it's only my daily hack and only done 61k so barely ran in, it might get faster when it loosens up a bit at 100k or so
The PD engine is a legend for sure. Shame modern VW aren’t as great anymore

How much would a build like this cost ?
And how reliable would it be as a daily commuter ?
Drop us an email to sales@darksidedevelpments.co.uk with reg/vin for costs! Should be reliable as a daily yeah, we tune most road cars so that they are safe and reliable depending on what the customer is using it for. As long as it's maintained well it should be solid
Just said goodbye to my PD Golf the other day 😕
Bloody brilliant engine, wouldn’t buy a VW now.
Hey guys is this the same 1.9 tdi engine on mk1 octavia diesel
Please reply 😊
If it is the 130hp model then yes should be the same
@@DarksideDevelopments i am from kerala here mk1 octavia is 90hp and 210nm
@@DarksideDevelopments anyway thanks for the reply❤️
How much would all the mods and labour cost all together you reckon?

That’s a 300+bhp setup easily, why’s it make such low power?
Probably tuned for reliability
lack of rolling coal......my guess
I thought that too, my old one made similar figures on a 1856 and stock injectors and cam etc
1856, not on our dyno!
Could you get away with an OEM ported head and PD150 manifold to get to this power level? Or is the factory head on 1.9's too restrictive?
Might be able to get something similar
@@DarksideDevelopments i appreciate the response!
It's done 293 hp (paused the vid at 8:17). Hmm, I wasn't that far off.
Quick one.. how much did this build cost? 👍🏽

clever boy, me!
my polo is cleaner, only problem is it's an 1.9 sdi and picks up speed slower than modern tractor, when it's moving it's ok but could do with a turbo on it so i can overtake tractors and trucks, at the moment i have to wait until i'm going down hill , doubt its possible without changing the engine which i'm not going to do as it's only my daily hack and only done 61k so barely ran in, it might get faster when it loosens up a bit at 100k or so
You could bolt up an old AGR turbo and slap in some nozzles
@@DarksideDevelopments thanks, that's good info to know if it becomes unbearable
If it feels properly slow, check the timing, they love to stretch a cam belt.
Just wondered why you dont touch mercedes never see one on your channel?
We stick to what we know best
Would like to know the cost of the engine upgrades? £10k ish?
