Audi 5 cyl Turbo Deisel Engine

[RS WST]

I'm looking for the old type VW / Audi TD engine as found in the early Audi 100 between 1988 and 1990 with the mechanical injection system.

I'm thinking of putting the engine into a Suzuki Jeep which is a popular conversion for the 4cly TD's

Thought I'd go one stage further and go 5 cyl.

Apparently they come in both 2 L and 2.5L

Anybody know where I could get one and what sort of money I'd be paying.

I need one that hasn't done a million miles if possible.

Cheers

same engine is also in the vw transporters , and a higher powered version fitted to the Volvo 850/v70/s70 and early 6 speed A6 diesels..

wouldnt worry about miles, I was buying them when they were 3 tears old with 200k on they are a bomb proof engine

I had a Volvo 850 estate with a 2.5 of this in it, not the quickest vehicle but was a fine towcar...

Tended to find most of the power from about 2,500rpm, unusual for TDi

It felt like it had a light revy flywheel...

Do the volvo's use the VW engine or the other way about.

The conversion kit I was thinking of using allows most VW engines to bolt upto the existing suzuki bell housing.

Do the Volvo engines use mechanical injection system?

It makes my life easier as the Tdi's require all the dash and electrics for them to work.

volvo use the Audi unit.. used to do a bit with these.. with a  tuning box they see a decent  gain in performance from memory they increase to close to 170bhp .

I dont think the early engines are high tech they have a 8 pin wiring connector  going to the fuel pump.. the later V70"s were never as quick as the earlier cars, they had a different airflow meter..

I havnt had a lot to do with the early shape A6 but I know the engines came in 110bhp and 140bhp one is 5 and the other is 6 speed..the 110 is in the vw transporter,,

you could try 4 ring spares for and engine,seem pretty good whenever I needed Audi bits.
