Jetta TDI 2000
 

My mom own a vw jetta tdi 2000 five-speed. This car is rated at 90hp@3750rpm and 150torque@1900rpm

Well, my mom think of selling the car to me for real cheap... like 2500$us

i want to know if anyone worked with this engine... The turbo is electronically-controled (wastegate) and simply by puting a chip i heard people getting to 115hp 183torque with a Wetterauer chip and 116hp 195torque with an upsolute chip that a nice improvement but im septic...

If you have any info on this give me some hint...

im not sure if this means you are thinking about buying it but if your mother decides to sell it for that price let me know cause there is a 90% chance that my dad would buy it from here.

Re:Jetta TDI 2000
 

for that money, you might as well buy it, even for a daily driver.

Re:Jetta TDI 2000
 

i know i will but i just want to know if someone worked with one and what kind of number we can get out of this mexico/germany car...

Re:Jetta TDI 2000
 

I know VW's are a pain in the ass. EVERYTHING is controlled through the ECU. :-\

Re:Jetta TDI 2000
 

so you mean the number i have mentionned in the first post are maybe real?! ... nice...

Re:Jetta TDI 2000
 

I would not be surised. I think it is the 1.8 T that can put out rediculous numbers with just a chip and a few bolt ons.

Dude if you are septic you need to get to a hospital ASAP. :P

Re:Jetta TDI 2000
 

Yeah I heard the same thing about chipping those fuckers can bump it up quite abit since the ecu controls everything on those damn vw's. THat ---- is too expensive for parts though.

Re:Jetta TDI 2000
 

i used to work at a vw shop..and 115hp sounds about right, from what i've heard.. not sure about the torq tho. there's not much to get out of the old traditional tdi engines, compared to the newer high pressure tdi engines.. the newer 2.0 tdi engines you get like 170hp and close to 500nm according to the chip manufacturers ;D

Re:Jetta TDI 2000
 

That would be nice having a fast tdi... meanwhile i found a website call www.tdiclub.com and they explain a lot of thing on these engine and its amazing how people get some pretty decent from their 1.9l tdi engine (saw one with 174hp 300torque)... plus you can just have a chopped downpipe since these engine don't make noise... wow
that might be a nice project to start :)

Re:Jetta TDI 2000
 

TDI stand for "turbo direct injection Diesel".Dont ask me where the "diesel" at the end came from ??? but thats what It is.

As far as I know any diesel engine will respond good to a chip mod.You shouldnt need more that that to get you moving in that car.

**edited couse I skimed through this thread :P.**
