Is there a solution for a 140hp TDI engine?
Is there a solution for a 140hp TDI engine?
Luckily enough there is a solution, for the PD and CR engines. It is replacing the balance shaft module for a chain driven oil pump as seen in other TDI engines. The 140hp 2.0 8v PD TDI (BMM) for example has that oil pump and it has been flawless. EA288 engines have been revised and we have not (yet) been made aware of a recurrence of this issue.
Which is better a 140 or 170 bhp engine?
Taking a 140 beyond 170 bhp will always require a larger turbo, TorqueCars suggest the GTB2056VK is definitely less laggy than the GTB2260VK due to its smaller compressors, but it can still flow to around the 260-275 bhp. Used turbos from the 170bhp engine are a good, cheap, viable upgrade option if you are looking at the 200bhp mark.
How does oil pressure affect intake cam timing?
Oil pressure from the oil pump goes into a solenoid valve on the engine block. This valve controls the oil pressure that reaches the cam phaser. The cam phaser is the adjusting mechanism which controls intake cam timing. The cam timing changes depending on the oil pressure inside the cam phaser.
What happens when fuel is ignited at the same 10 degree timing?
As the engine rpm increases to 3,000 rpm, the fuel, — still requiring the same time to burn — would never have sufficient time to burn if ignited at the same 10-degree timing. In order to have the same result, the fuel must be ignited much sooner in the compression stroke.

What are the effects of engine faults and service?
A number of studies carried out before the wide spread application of technologies such as EGR and NOx aftertreatment have shown that diesel engines usually deteriorate to have higher PM, CO and HC emissions and lower NOx emissions. Fuel injection system faults are the most common reasons for increased PM emissions.

What was the percentage of engine faults in 2005?
A startling statistic to note from the 2005 ARB data is that 75% of the vehicles failing the roadside inspection showed signs of tampering [1331]. Table 3 outlines the differences in fuel system faults for engines that did and did not show signs of tampering.
