New motor - what do you think?

[Tony]

Appreciated Keith, I think it'll be OK back on dino (53 miles, so couple of gallons at most).  If I get stuck cranking with a flat battery though it might be useful to have someone to call with jump leads - though I doubt it'd come to that!

Might have to pester the 300TDi boys about their Bosch EDC pumps!

You wont get that much help - the only 300Tdi engines fitted with with the EDC pump were in the automatic discoveries. All the other 300Tdi  engines had the Bosch VE mechanical pump.

As said, lots of VAG engines (the 90 and 110BHP Tdi) use them as does the BMW M51

So what are the chances of the non EDC 300TDI pump fitting Tony,s car then ?

Nice motor BTW Tony.

As far as I know, the only difference between the electronic version and the mechanical version is that the fuel rack is controlled by a solenoid type arrangement. It's essentially an electromagnet controlled using a PWM signal from the ECU with feedback and a control loop to ensure correct positioning.

Timing and the pumping is all done mechanically. I'd imagine that bit is all the same.

What's happened to the motor Tony? The suspense is killing me!

Have you picked it up?

[Tony]

Not yet, I'm in Budapest at the moment. Will pick up Tuesday. Looking forward to it!

[kamaangir]

Nice, is it snowing there? Pop into a bar and ask for  "kuert shuert kirak"!

You will enjoy it I promise hahahaha

[Tony]

Was a bit chill, some patches of snow on the ground.  The ducks had a thermal pond though so seemed quite happy!

"kuert shuert kirak" - what is that?  Not that I don't trust you but... 

Home now anyway, car tomorrow!

I tried it in Google translate, but didn't get an answer. Only told me it thought it was Albanian.
I have the sneaking suspicion its not a local cocktail.......

[kamaangir]

Ye of no faith. It means "2 beers please!" But spell phonetically.

 

[greasemonkey]

Oh, so it wasn't "Rip one up me, big boy" then.

Knowing that you speak with a Welsh accent and live in rural Wales, a scene from a certain comedy sketch show comes to mind!

[Tony]

Collected new motor, it's loooooovely.  I like that the sliding door you just gently shut and with a whine of motors the car sucks it into place *clunk*

Missus loves it already, kids will love it I'm sure!

Oh and already running on bio, I took some with me on the train

[Glycer-rides]

Haha, I've done that too; 10L of bio..in a rucksack...on the tube.

My, how it leaked!

People have gotten shot down dead on the tube for less than that!
